Dusty's sickness:

I saw Dr. Who, his dogbot K9 and the TARDIS in my bedroom. On the ceiling, more specifically. This was good. The entrance of the Cybermen with their creepy leitmotif gave me the fear. This was bad. I relayed the experience to my parents, who escorted me immediately to the hospital. Pneumonia! Yay! The only memory of the stay is "Hospitals are white and cold." Which was fact-checked ten years later during a ten-day return to the hospital thanks to a post ACL surgery staph infection. Those two are a good one.
