It's become accepted fact that there are no major grocery stores in Detroit. (I wrote about the very topic here, dubiously, two years ago.) Here a Detroit resident points out that he and his fellow 800,000 other Detroiters shop at any of bajillions of grocery stores that are found throughout the city.
There is zero correlation between personality traits and the likelihood of surviving cancer. Yet this concept of having a "fighting spirit" persists in medicine, as if people can will themselves into feeling better. "It is difficult enough to be injured or gravely ill. To add to this the burden of guilt over a supposed failure to have the right attitude toward one’s illness is unconscionable."
