yes, you never know what can happen, and how serious it can actually be.
for example, i went to the emergency room after a dog bit a couple of weeks ago, i didn't think that much about it other than that i should just go to get antibiotics. well now here i am two weeks later and i have to see a hand surgeon for the second time in a few days to see if i need to have surgery on it because of permanent tendon and nerve damage. :/ i can't feel the top of my hand and some of my knuckles topically, but internally it hurts like hell.
also, an old boss of mine, who is only in his early 30s, found out that he had brain cancer in november or december of 06. in march of 07 they told him that he only had two weeks to live. he is still alive but of course is ready to go any day now..
and that could be any one of us..
when i was younger i was never "afraid" to die. now i think about it a lot and hope that it doesn't happen anytime soon.
