It is quite interesting to note the 7 deadly sins abanerjee. I wonder why greed and pride is listed in them as there are so many more dangerous sins out there.

I was quite young when I first read this book and I'll never forget my introduction to apoplexy.  It seemed quite horrible to me when the child cried out in terror and I never forgot and often thought of a stroke as the ultimate ending to life.  As it turned out later in life, I spent much of my nursing career with CVA patients and my sons' Dad died suddenly of a major stroke, totally shocking them, as he had seemed so healthy and energetic.
