I spent a year pursuing an MS in pathogenic bacteriology, but dropped it when a severe case of pneumonia almost killed me.

There's a lesson in irony in there somewhere...

Indeed. I was taking 16 units of course work and working 43 hours a week at Radio Shack to cover my bills. Flu season hit and I was "blessed" with a severe case. It progressed into bacterial pneumonia with a fever of 103 degrees for 3 1/2 weeks. It was the first of 7 cases of pneumonia that finally stopped when pneumonia vaccines were offered.
