They moved from Iowa, an American family moved from Iowa to Russia, eight kids, and they had had a situation where their youngest child had to go in for surgery, similarly, in Moscow, and said that it was...

Like, they were fantastic and were amazing.

And they said, best doctor, so get him in there.

You know, it was touch go.

It was, we were, once we got the emergency visa for his wife and we had to have conversations because they just did not think he was going to make it through the night.

There was hemorrhaging.

There was another procedure that they wanted to go through with and us trying to communicate to his wife what was happening.

But when she made it there and I just was able to like hug her and basically say it was going to be OK, you can imagine.

I mean, this this woman showed up in her cowboy boots, like just sprinted to D.C.

We got the visa.

There was so much coordination.

And to the exact contrary, when the people in the hospital and we had no special privileges, to be clear, when they found out that he was in the military, they went above and beyond.

Above and beyond.

There is a camaraderie that exists between, I think, military men all over the world.

And when his wife shared with me the backstory of what was happening, I was...

the kind of anger that I am experiencing toward America in general of learning that he was trying to get an appointment.

He knew something was wrong and he had been trying to get an appointment with the VA for years, years, not months, not weeks, for years.

And in the weeks before we had left, apparently he got on the phone with them and was screaming and saying, I know like something's not right and

And they were effectively gaslighting him, saying that it could be, you know, PTSD or whatever it is, because him and his platoon had survived a sonar blast.

His wife then explained to me that multiple people that were in his platoon committed suicide because they similarly could not get appointments when they knew something was wrong.
