I was quite touched when quite recently my dear husband was concerned that I might be having a heart attack. He knows there is a history of heart disease in my family and that I'm on meds for high cholesterol. He has taken the time to find out what the symptoms of a heart attack might be. Of course I ignored him and assured him it was just indigestion . . . Fortunately this time I was right. I did see a colleague one time insist on finishing his day of teaching before allowing his wife to drive him to the hospital - this despite having felt bad enough that he called (and emailed!) the school nurse from his classroom to tell her his symptoms. She said 'Head for the hospital now!' No idea why he contacted her and then ignored her advice. After having been worried about missing one or two classes he ended up being off work for weeks!
