Despite being dead for over a year, famous author Agatha Christie saved a baby’s life in 1977.
Her novel The Pale Horse described thallium poisoning so well that a nurse who’d been reading it was able to diagnose a sick infant, who had doctors stumped.
The baby was immediately tested, they found traces of thallium, doctors changed treatments, and her life had suddenly been saved by a 16-year-old murder mystery novel.
You can read more about this right here. Good read, if you ask me.
Coffee out on the patio today!

Hey Linda...
I would certainly think that fate had a lot to do with it.

Knowledge is where you find it!
Going to look into some of her books again next time I have to reload my Kindle.

That brings up another question. Where did the baby get thallium?
