But when I became his doctor, he had to tell me in detail about all his ailments. And I have to say that our relationship was really close and he remained extraordinarily endearing in his illness – the situation was difficult, the disease bothersome, and yet he tried not to remember that he was ill, although I knew the state of his health perfectly well. However, the fact that we had known each other before added something semi-private to our relationship, which was anyway very nice and probably important to him. [...] As I was able to place him in a private room, he could be in complete peace – to work, think and welcome visitors. [...] I had many patients from the world of music, many went through the same private room in which Mycielski was put. Yet I remember him particularly well because of the well-mannered way in which he endured his illness. This does not happen very often.
