00:00:00
the start of 2011, I started getting
00:00:02
severely dizzy. I just thought I had a
00:00:03
brain tumor just because of the severity
00:00:05
of the dizziness. My doctor sent me to
00:00:07
the private neurologist, which I
00:00:09
requested, and the private neurologist
00:00:11
completely poo pooed me basically and
00:00:13
just said, "Go away." With my list of
00:00:15
symptoms, the fact that I wasn't given a
00:00:17
scan is crazy. So, I actually requested
00:00:20
a scan as well and you know, it was a
00:00:22
private system. So, I said, "I'm willing
00:00:23
to pay. Happy to pay. I just want to
00:00:25
make sure it's not that." But yeah, I
00:00:26
was turned away. I sort of didn't want
00:00:28
to go to sleep. couldn't go to bed cuz I
00:00:29
thought I'd wake up and like wouldn't be
00:00:30
able to see anything. [music] Every
00:00:32
night was walking around the house
00:00:33
looking at family photos, photos of
00:00:35
myself, all that sort of stuff going,
00:00:36
"Shit, is this the last time I'm going
00:00:38
to see it?" Luckily, I still have some
00:00:40
eyesight left. [music] I wasn't supposed
00:00:42
to really, but they didn't know where it
00:00:44
was going to stop. It was kind of a
00:00:45
gradual process, which was [music]
00:00:47
pretty terrifying.
00:00:48
>> What do you want people to feel when
00:00:50
they heal your story?
00:00:50
>> I don't know how the hell it would come
00:00:52
to fruition, but I'd like to enact
00:00:53
change. want people to know that if they
00:00:55
don't get the answer they want from
00:00:56
their doctor, they should be arguing it.
00:00:58
The doctors obviously do a bloody
00:01:00
[music] good job. They've got a a hard
00:01:02
job, highly qualified, but at the same
00:01:04
time, they can be lazy as hell.
