There are a lot of men like that, you know; fight shy of a sick-room. They can't help it. And it's not heartlessness. They just don't want to be upset in their feelings.
Nurse Hopkins says this to Poirot in Sad Cypress. She's actually referring to the Roderick Welman, who didn't spend much time at all with Mrs. Welman before she died.

' After all' murmured Poirot, 'it is possible that I shall not die this time.'
Good luck everybody!:-bd
