As a child I had a fear that I would end up in a hospital needing an operation. And, that at the precise moment the doctor was getting ready to operate on me, somewhere in the universe and alien would be operated on at the same time, and that would cause a time warp, and I would end up in the space ship, being operated on by the aliens, and the alien would end up here on earth, being operated on by the human doctors.

I have no idea where this fear came from. And it really was a fear – I was scared shitless that this would really happen to me. I had a very active imagination as a child.
