I was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia when I was six, and was put through a regimen of medicines meants to boost my blood iron levels. Part of the regimen - not necessarily a priority - was to give me "Human Serum" shots in the tummy. The first one turned out to be extremely painful, to the point I could barely walk afterwards. There were 3-4 more shots remaining to administer, that were kept in the fridge. However, temperature in the fridge suddenly reached freezing levels, that destroyed the stored medicine. It was then decided not to continue with the treatment. Looking back sixty years later, I suspect that this incident was the result of the Lord's tender mercy towards the poor little boy I was.
