    Well Jane, when it is someone I know that is genuinely having health issues, I'll listen with all sincerity and try to comfort them as best as I can ...and umm...there are some like my mommy...she feels relieved whenever I listen to her medical problems which are usually imaginary....but I listen attentively and comfort her...she can then sleep relaxed...( I talk to her daily in her night time...the time zone difference;))

    Which is quite common among people my age.  And often forms the bulk of conversations.  Actually I don't really have any serious as yet (knock wood!) so I chime in with my aches and pains of aging.  Possible that without such things we would not have much to talk about at all!

    Nothing wrong with a good organ recital. Sometimes comparing our ailments can make us feel that we're not alone.

    Yes quite right!  Or make us feel glad we are doing as well as we are.
