Zemblanity. Quite a word. But I wonder if it qualifies for something like that glioma, which was unexpected, but you had gone looking. I’ve always assumed serendipity is more accidental than that.
The second story has captured me..I think it was good luck that you found the nodule when you did. A great podcast.
Vijay, that was fascinating! Thank you for sharing it. I can’t imagine what your Mother-in-Law must have felt like … to go from one problem, right into another, and then into an even worse one in that small span of time. She’s lucky to have you … !
Looking forward to the next podcast … whenever it may be!
Thanks purplesque & Moof
I’ve come around to thinking it was all destined/preordained. If we had done the Coronary CTA as soon as it was suggested, there is a better than average chance that the lung nodule may not have been there or it would have been too small to create a suspicion.
