I had a female client in her early 50's who told me in the last year she had a car accident. After the accident she felt chest pains and thought she'd broken a rib. After thorough examination, her doctor told her she had breast cancer in the earliest stages. And if not for the car accident, it would have gone un-noticed and undiagnosed until it became life threatening and possibly too late. She told me "I thank God for that car accident!"

Ironic, eh?
