Some time ago I was ill for a prolonged period of time, a couple of weeks. I finally decided to go see a doctor. Unfortunately the first appointment the doctor had open was a week and a half away. By the time the day of the appointment came around I was feeling much better and canceled it. Had I been able to promptly see the doctor I would have no doubt given him the credit for my recovery, despite the fact that, at least in this case, I would have recovered just the same without him. There is no way one can be subjective about the near misses.
