How did you get better?
Yeah.
So I landed right as I was passing out.
I was in an ambulance arriving at Mass General Hospital emergency room.
And I literally fell.
I was curled up in a little fetal ball.
And I felt—I went unconscious.
I felt—I described it as I felt my spirit surrender.
At that point, I had no say.
I was gone.
And so within a few moments, and I mean literally moments, they take my gurney out.
I'm in the emergency room, bright lights.
People are on me.
People knew I was coming.
And it was just pokering, prodding, giving me IV, here, sign this consent form, which I do remember thinking, what's wrong with you people?
You know, it's like, it was just consent, right?
Take her hand and make a scribble.
It was ridiculous.
But it was what it was.
And so they took me into a room.
