I became a hypochondriac about cancer when I watched this show as a kid.
It seemed like every other episode was about somebody dying of cancer. So being 12 years old and not knowing much, I used to think every minor ache and pain or sudden weight loss were symtpoms of the beginning stages of cancer..
I watched the movie Still Alice 6 months ago. Now I am ascribing every minor bout of forgetfulness to something sinister like Alzheimer's.
