Our family was almost the opposite.

My grandfather was a Christian Scientist that did not believe in Doctors.

He fell off the roof (he was building a house for homeless people) when he was 82. He was taken to a hospital and they said he had some broken bones including hip (maybe? it was a long time ago). The put a cast on him that went from waist to foot. That night he climbed out the hospital window, limped out and hitch hiked home. Got a saw out and cut off the cast. Laid in bed until he was better and then finished the house. He was VERY stubborn.
