They were concerned about my physical condition due to weight loss and abnormal coughing. I was persuaded to visit a kindly local physician. After a short examination he sent me on to a specialist. This led to my being placed in a sanatorium. It took these events to awaken my thought and turn it Godward. The physician's statement I had only twelve months to live was another mental jolt.

After just one prayerful night in hospital I asked, early in the morning, for a message to be given to the responsible authority that I had chosen not to follow through with medical treatment. After signing documents absolving the hospital from any further responsibility, I was taken home.
