No wait, I think I can top you boys...stand back.
...ahem.
*clears throat, makes eyes big and round*
I visited WDW for the first time the year it opened when I was nine months old and almost every year of my life after that and...in 2008 I WENT BLIND!
Okay, now seeing how no lawyer would take a malpractice suit for me here where a doctor
speficially lied about my spinal tap test results (saying they proved I had MS when in fact they were negative) and I was stuck with that label for
five years even after I had to quit him because he wanted to force me into a medication study. Yes, he was getting vacations at the very least from the pharm company too because we were in his office, with the doors open, and he discussed at length one of his trips with the drug rep (while he made me wait long past my appointment time I might add).
I couldn't sue him, and was also told it'd be 'difficult to prove' years later that the hospital I was sent to- by my PCP straight from his office- whom he called to tell he thought I was having a stroke- made me wait in the ER instead of immediately admitting me, then gave me a Valium, said I was having a panic attack and left me in a room alone. I didn't see a neurologist till the next day.
If I had, I'd likely still be able to drive a car.
If it had been a
massive stroke, I'd be dead.
If this person can make stroke 23 days after TOT stick, I'll be flabberghasted but stranger things have happened.
Unreal.
addition: I don't care if you're in the age group for it or not, listen to me good. If you have symptoms of stroke and go to a hospital and they do not take you seriously, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and go to another one. I wish I had by the time we got there I couldn't really talk and I was obviously in so much pain I couldn't speak up for myself by then. I thought I was going to be taken care of.
I was only 29 at the time (and being a woman they didn't take it seriously) especially if you've taken any hormone containing medications (yes kids, this means birth control pills/patches/shots too) you MUST take these things seriously.
Okay, that's the end of my little PSA. I love you guys, just had to say that.
Doh- okay, edit again I missed Indy's post where he said Disney won. My bad.
