In this episode, I reflect upon the souls I met while at McMaster University Hospital in March 2003. I highlight the tender moments, the moments of bonding and unity as well as conflict amongst fellow patients and staff and how happiness, as Leo Tolstoy wrote in his novel, The Cossacks, truly belongs in the company of others, whatever the circumstances or the difficulties we are enduring. I also meet a former sufferer of irritable bowel syndrome, who tells me something quite revealing regarding the way he managed to find equilibrium in his digestive-distressed life. His revelation will prove a key to my future healing and overcoming of ulcerative colitis.
