How I Became Paralyzed Overnight 

Thanks for sharing your story.. Last month I lost my right leg and trying to adjust.. but, I can identify with having the worst pain in my my life

I’m so sorry! I wish you the best!

Look mom

Hi can you make a video of how you get from your wheelchair to car, bed, couch, floor ect

@@brett4511 yes!

Can she ask for a spinal tap? Sounds like Guillain Barre Syndrome to me.

I have GBS. Sounds like my case.

Its interesting because yt have many videos about similar issues and the kids all were handled poorly. They were sent home with a painkiller and were paralized by next day. Seems like common mistreating.

@@kathrynhill6452 didn't the girl explain that they were going to do a spinal tap but changed their minds and it was a good thing they did or it would of caused more major issues? Or did I hear that wrong? She also said it was a staph infection that spread to her spine that caused the issue. Unless I heard her wrong and that was just one of the doctors guesses?

Sounds like gbs ( nurse a few over 35 years as itu nurse) or transverse mylitis which is even more rare snd easy to miss. My friend had it after a lot of hard work she is back working as a nurse but it is tough , she has neurological effects still..

Oh that’s horrible! I’m so sorry 😞

Oh my goodness. I am so so sorry. And I’m so sorry to her for being mistreated.

❤️

I’m so sorry to hear that 💛

Hospital records are notorious for inadequate and erroneous information! It’s gotten so bad that at times it seems they’re making things up just to cover their ass and/or not work too hard. Healthcare in the USA has become frightening!

How are you doing now?

What speciality is 'paediatric'? I've never heard of it and am really curious

@@cindi8318haha…I didn’t even catch that.

​@@cindi8318It's a difference between British English and American English. If you were actually curious you could have looked it up instead of harassing someone.

@@cindi8318children. Typically anyone under 18

@@MinOfForestthey asked one question? That’s not harassment unless they deleted a bunch of comments I didn’t see.

How can you get your Dr or nurse to understand just how sick you really are? I feel like my Dr looks at me like I’m just a problem

@@RaccoonNation Have a heart to heart with them.....I acknowledge to them that I know I'm annoying, but that you are advocating for yourself. Ask them to refer you to someone else, just because you really would like some further investigation. When you are straight forward with them and say the word 'advocate', this will get their attention, and let them know how serious you are. If they won't listen, find another doctor. Tell the new doctor that maybe it looks like your 'doctor shopping', but be 100% honest with them as well. "I know in my gut something is wrong, and I really need some further investigation, and I am trying to advocate for myself, because xyz is happening and this is how it's affecting my life". Before you go, write down all the ways it is affecting you and why this is important to you. That way you are prepared.

Ditto..from this ICU NURSE.. yes, mistakes happen..but you were sent home 3 times..THREE

I've been trying to tell doctors somethings not right for over a year! I don't get why they won't listen to people!

I had bacterial meningitis and was brushed off in the ER as having a sinus infection and sent home with antibiotics. I felt insanely awful in the days leading up to that and was brushed off as having anxiety or the flu each time and no blood work was done. I had to go back agggaaain and beg them to do more tests and dealt with dismissive hospital staff who didn't treat me right. I knew it was something more and because I didn't have every single textbook symptom, it took them longer to figure out as they continued to dismiss it. Thank god I kept advocating and fighting for myself or I might not be here today.

@@morgancalvi6675 I don't believe he was being cocky, I think he was being supportive & trying to inspire her, while being able to relate similarly. I see u relate as well, but u seem jaded. I'm sorry that happened to u, & getting put back in the chair after everything. I wish u well, I wish all 3 of u well.

@@morgancalvi6675 Yes I know the difference, I've been helping care for my best friend who is quad after a neck break 11yrs ago. Ur reply is under the person "Dennis" comment. There is no comment from another female on this thread at all, she must have deleted it. So it appears that ur replying directly to the initial commenter, in regard to the female in the video. That's where the confusion was on my part. My apologies, & regardless, all of u be well.

@@Missperidoteyes11 how can I seem jaded when she is mislabeling herself? Broken necks are quadriplegics...not paraplegics.

@@morgancalvi6675 U literally thanked & left me a nice sentiment just 2 WEEKS AGO, after I explained a misunderstanding between us. 3 DAYS ago u leave me ANOTHER crappy reply to the SAME msg u were all good about! Wth happened?? 🤔

@@morgancalvi6675 I see, it can be frustrating how this site works sometimes! No problem, thx.

I don't understand how they kept diagnosing lung and heart disease without checking the back when she kept having so much back pain

@@kumikooo2 they weren’t wrong to associate heart disease with lombalgya, but in the medical practice to stablish a diagnosis you first start ruling out the most obvious symptom causing conditions (differential diagnosis). They didn’t think her back bain could actually be her spine. 😞

EMTs don't order or run MRIs you id e ot...

They call it "Practicing medicine" for a reason. I'm 62 yrs old and when I remember when we had great medical care in 60s 70s and 80s. Nurse practitioners are killing people. Their training is not adequate to be making decisions they make. This is a quote from a doctor of 35 yrs that has seen the mistakes that are happening in our Dr offices and emergency room. My brother went to emergency room for chest pains and a nurse practitioner read his ekg and said well not your heart and sent him home while he was having a heart attack!!!! 2hrs later he had a massive heart attack!!! Affordable care act has destroyed our Healthcare system!!! No need to argue with me because everything I've said here was told to me by good Dr's that I'm personal friends with. I could tell you my own personal story that lingered for 2 yrs with 4 disc in my neck were pressing on my spinal cord causing intermittent paralysis. Went to nurse practitioners who said your spine is ok!!! When my insurance finally approved me seeing a neurologist I was immediately diagnosed properly and operated on immediately. The neurologist was amazed that 3 practitioners missed my problem. I have no faith in the system!!!!

this reminds me of when I dislocated my knee cap and i was in so much pain. I told my doctor, as soon as I got wheeled in from the ambulance, to not attempt to place it back in until he knocks me out because it was the second time I have dislocated my knee cap in a short amount of time. I was already in such immense pain and I knew it was not smart because of how much scar tissue I already had in my knee from only 6 months prior. immediately without asking my name or introducing himself anything let alone looking at my chart or for me to even explain why I needed to be knocked out. he then was like i’m just going to look at it and tried to place it back in and I screamed bloody murder for him to stop and he did. I then laid there for over 2.5 hours with it dislocated before they knocked me out with meds and placed it back in. the whole time i was crying and trying to contain myself because they only gave me tylenol for the pain. my mom proceeded to tell me cry and scream all you can, show them you are in pain and maybe they will finally listen to you and they did. they gave me morphine and knocked me out and placed it back in. but due to it being out of place and being the second time in less than 6 months my recovery time was 12 weeks which is almost double of a normal dislocation of a kneecap.

I have a different illness and experiences but was in and out of E.R., urgent cares, primary, and specialists for 7 years, am still unveiling all the damage done, and ongoing systemically from not being controlled sooner. I was in my late 20's and early 30's, very aware and familiar with my body and descriptive with symptoms. Paralysis, seizures, swelling, neurological, NC issues, a world of varying flares and seasons of problems. The biggest problems and hindrances for me and many are being dismissed, doubted, not believed, biases, and punted around. Without it being a common disease or disorder TOO MANY doctors are unwilling (spread to thin, etc, etc) and/or honestly have little experience and training of all that is possible and the pathways/direction to go to truly fight to get there for their patients. One invested medical professional makes such a world of difference in the puzzle medical journey for the extremely increasing number of people sick and struggling for correct diagnosis, treatment, and root causes targeted instead of medicine and symptom relief, surgeries, etc that are ALL known and encouraged first and most. I know how rough medical professionals have it now and how strained and unsupported the whole system and individuals are within it are but the effects it has had on how patients are treated medical and personally is quite ugly and out of control as well! It can be very difficult and discouraging for the sick on the other end of this with their bodies and lives suffering and fear and confusion they are left with while healthy individuals and many professionals are slow to see or unwilling to see the reality of these things and BELIEVE it is and should be completely different and the system is all knowing, powerful, and runs perfect. So if it's not working out for you, something is NOT wrong or literally WRONG with you. We all should be hoping and fighting to radically change what's been going on. Within ourselves first and foremost and bringing it into the world for others!!! We all need better, deserve better, and each other. Not silence, ignorance, fear, or pride. ❤️‍🩹

A Dr. Who didn’t know me at all decided I was drug seeking when he then found out I was having to go into the hospital every 4-6 hours from horrific cycling vomiting syndrome that started as son as my 34 rounds of radiation had just ended, triple chemotherapy cocktail 6 rounds and double mastectomy. If I am being told I’m drug seeking for that well, it just continues to get worse. I was only 38 with the gene as well. So tired of constantly being judged. My pain management Dr. is one of the strictest know so what he says go. Oh and my 4 neck surgeries back then hadn’t been done. 2 anterior; add now 2 exterior C2-T1. That’s all just some stuff but drs will ignore. It’s unacceptable and we have a right to have our pain mgmt. my pain mgmt Dr. Put me on a patch, lowering my overall meds by 5/6 and I’ve never felt better!!!

I hope you become a neurologist ❤

There should be certain checks that are routine, surely. Sepsis kills a huge number of people per year yet often it isn't routinely checked for; so many people aren't even aware of what it is and how common it is, how much devastation it causes. Collective incompetence ruins the lives of a huge number of people per year.

It's horrible angers me so much They really write ppl off and don't listen to them.

The healthcare system failed her and her family. So very sad! I have heard of poorer country providing much better service and investigation of a diagnosis than people here in the US. I was born and lived in Europe for 17.5 years so I do have personal experience to compare it against. It’s so ghastly expensive and yet you have to constantly advocate for yourself when the level of indifference and bandaid fixes is definitely frustrating. It’s utter negligence and other patients would have sued the hospital for wrong diagnosis and not discharging someone who is in critical condition.

@@blerinapsota2447 yep, and it’s insurance and government limiting these practitioners from doing well by each patient because they have to do so much paperwork and proof to the insurance agencies just to get the tests done what they need! They would run more tests for patients if more patients fought and advocated for themselves and even call their own insurance while in hospital. We all need to start fighting for better care and not let them get away with this. So many people just take whatever the doc says and believe it and don’t ask enough questions and demand thorough answers and detailed explanations of how their provider came to their diagnosis.

They don’t take women or young people seriously! Sad 😢 I have been accused of drug seeking, even though I never asked for any drugs, just answers! Was so frustrated, I just let them do prolotherapy injections in my ribs & they collapsed my lung. It happened after I got home & no one was there to help me. I called the dr office & they said I can come back in, “WHAT!?” Should have called 911 but I was confused , scared & in pain.

Did you sue the crap out of them?

So sad🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Oh no, I am heartbroken for her at such a young age and being a mom. I truly am sorry for your loss.

It is alleged that we have an "Opioid Crisis". No, No we don't. We have a fentanyl crisis!!! Now people in pain are all being classified as drug seekers. We all suffer because of the few!

Did u guys go to the doctor who dismissed her? He should be sued and fired to prevent further deaths

Walking pneumonia, or pleurisy can cause that type of pain and they sometimes give dose peaks for them.

Pericarditis should have absolutely been admitted

I was listening to her thinking she was much older. When she mentioned recess at school I stopped to discover her age!

I was just thinking this... this girl went there with killing back pain and legs barely moving, they saw her having trouble to walk, yet they still sent her home? Wtf is wrong with them??

"shes overreacting/she just has a low pain tolerance/its probably just period cramps" meanwhile girls be dying from organ failure. it can happen to men too but Ive heard way more stories from young women about doctors explaining away their pain and they end up convincing themselves that they ARE just feeble and overreacting. horrible stuff.

Your story is amazing. You are such a beautiful soul. I will be praying for a miracle. Thanks for sharing.

The dismissal gas lighting and flagrant malpractice of emergency rooms when it comes to treating young females........... just females? Why just females, are you trying to tell me that there is a problem with emergency rooms all across this country discriminating against female patients?!?

They did the same thing to me! I became paralyzed overnight also. I had to be carried in and out of the ER. They marked me a seeker and didn't believe I couldn't walk. I went to another hospital and they recognized what was happening. Thank God!

This sounds like a vaccine injury, I bet she got Gardisil.

@@christinateresabrown And you sound like an uninformed idiot.

@@lucicleI’m very informed and far from an idiot; you seem threatened by my comment and it’s probably because you are uninformed and projecting on me. Have you never heard of paralyzation due to vaccine injury? Not uncommon.

@@christinateresabrown you're not informed. You're an idiot.

@@lucicle Intelligent response, thanks.

Yeaaaa not reading all that.

It really bothers me how little doctors care and don’t think outside the box. As a person with a one in a million injury, I’ve developed medical PTSD. It really, REALLY sucks and there’s so much pain that could’ve been prevented.

Your amazing I can’t believe what you have been going through I couldn’t bare too feel that pain it’s so miserable what happens to some people but it is chosen by god and it’s not because god doesn’t love you we don’t know why it happens but it can be hard god bless you for being so brave ❤️

I took my son 3 times to emergency as he had extreme pain in his upper back and chest only to be sent home. 4th time ambulance took him and 5 days went past in hospital with me being told it was all in his head. I had to be seen be hospital psychologist as well as my poor son who was screaming now in agony. They wouldn't listen to me when I said my son wouldn't be screaming for help for attention. He actually thought he was dying.....he said to me that he loved me and this was going to be it for him. I was now screaming at the doctor to please take him seriously, that something was very wrong. Days went by, and on Christmas day a undergraduate doctor found my son's lung had collapsed and he ended up in ICU with 2 surgeries. They said it was the worst case they had seen in a kid. Absolutely traumatic for my son which could of all been prevented. I can't even imagine what you went through and this girl and her family. ×

That's a known side effect of almost every vaccine. Guillain Barre syndrome. There are other autoimmune reactions that can happen after a vaccine that may cause temporary or chronic paralysis. There are lots of potential bad reactions after anything you put in your body. Food. Medications. Supplements.

IF YOUR POOR WITH OTHER DISABLED AND HEAD INJURYS FROM 1997: THE HOSPITALS AND ER DOCTORS HATE PEOPLE TRYING BROKE MY BACK AND NECK INJURES AND FRACTURED THOSE SPINAL DAMAGE IN MY BODY.

Staph infection. , not staff.

I am so glad you are making progress with mobility! Sounds as tho you might have complete healing eventually! Hope you keep up your positive attitude , you are an inspiration to others who have had catastrophic injuries as well. God bless you and your healing journey ❤❤❤

Yes- I so agree! So funny though because as a 19 yr old, I had a bad accident where I suffered a large depressed skull fractures and the same thoughts went through my head!!! Was so bizarre! 20 yrs later, the people there at the time still talk of how calm I was and how I didn’t cry etc….not so sure I’d be able to do the same today, tho!!!

@@kecrn4132 you may have been in shock too though 😢 bless your heart. I'm glad you're still here to tell your story too ❤

Absolutely! Not many 13yos have that kind of sensitivity, emotional maturity, and common sense.

I'm hoping you are doing good now. Stay strong.

I hate to break it to you- but women in general are ignored, gas lighted, misdiagnosed and treated like we're drug seeking liars pretty much every time we go to deal with doctors. She's actually gotten much better treatment than almost any seriously ill person I've met with the sole exception of people with cancer, who seem to be the only sick people who are treated well in the system.

Yeah... crafty is right. Unless your medical condition is externally obvious, you will get NO HELP. EVER. I count myself incredibly lucky every day that I am only in 7/10 pain at all times, only sometimes pass out for no reason, only sometimes can't eat anything all day because my stomach freezes up. Docs don't give a shit.

Yesss! I agree and hope that happens. Nerves regenerate slowly, but they seem to be growing and repairing for her 💖

​@@penelopewilliamselliott7353 Medical malpractice cases are extremely difficult to win due to what we call CYA charting. I have been an RN for 25 yrs. In the early 2000s, a hospital had been taking care of my grandfather who was there with 3rd degree burns on his legs, and he was cognitively fine when he had called the ambulance and my aunt prior to entering the hospital. They placed him on a ventilator, and per charting, he was "found on the floor disconnected from the vent for an undetermined amount of time". He was never the same cognitively, and was placed in a nursing home and required a tube feeding until he died several months later of aspiration pneumonia (because that nursing home kept trying to feed him despite a nothing by mouth doctor's order). Multiple attorneys told my grandmother she had no case against the hospital. If that wasn't a case for negligence, then I don't know what was, because you darn well should have known a patient was disconnected from a vent - it alarms - and you should know how long it was since you last checked a patient in ICU. Diagnoses are missed all the time. If we sued doctors for every little thing, our medical costs would be through the roof. This is why we need to be proactive with our medical care, and insist that doctors take us seriously, and if they don't, find a different doctor who will.

Yes! Even if you feel like you're annoying others by telling them what's wrong, or you're afraid of not being believed, tell your symptoms as they happen. It's also helpful, if possible, to keep a journal or digital log of symptoms and the times and dates they happened. Both for your parents and any & all medical professionals you might see about your issues.

Wow, I hope she reads your post, because spot on the same!!!!

nobody is _confined_ to a wheelchair. they _use_ a wheelchair. wheelchairs give disabled people freedom -a wheelchair user

@@livewellwitheds6885 Maybe if you'd looked up the definition and meaning under the Collins English Dictionary, it might have given you more of an understanding of what " confined" means. It is: "Someone who is confined to a "wheelchair", bed or house, because they are disabled or ill.

@@lauramichael4958 if we are being pedantic, you're missing out fundamental parts of the entry into that particular dictionary. "If something is confined to a particular place, it exists *only in that place*. If it is confined to a particular group, only members of that group have it." Unless your daughter never gets out of the wheelchair, she never sleeps in a bed, she never bathes or showers externally to the wheelchair, she isn't confined to it, she *uses* a wheelchair. You also missed off a line from the part of the definition you cherry picked: "If someone is confined to a wheelchair, bed, or house, they have to stay there, because they have a disability or are ill. *This use could cause offence*".

Wow I had no idea a paralyzed woman could carry children let alone three that's a miracle!

@@meghanferrari6501 nothing wrong with their reproductive system unless it was affected by the accident 🤷‍♀️ disabled people can lead normal lives! 😊

I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis in 2014, because most of my MDs took my symptoms very seriously, and kept investigating and consulting others until a proper diagnosis was made. I feel quite fortunate , because many people are treated with the disinterest, disbelief, & judgement that you were….it breaks my heart and makes me mad ! After Working as a Critical Care RN for 35+ years, I was suddenly on the other side of the bed, full of tubes, wires, and it goes without saying that I did not like it 😢. We must respectfully ask questions of our MDs and caregivers, push them for answers, and insist upon being included in the “daily rounds” …it is our right, and it just may save our lives .😊 Good fortune to my fellow travelers, may you be blessed with all the best ! ❤

I'm so sorry to hear that. Your daughter sounds like a beautiful warrior. I'm from somewhere quite close to wollongong lol. Best wishes xx

I watched couple other girls' video about some sort of similar nerve and inflamation and mass issue and all were handled poorly, they were sent home and only took them serious after came back fully paralized....

eow....I have to tell you keep going you have something "that spark" you do wonderful things...

Best to you mom. I am glad your son has such a devoted mother. More power to you both.

@@Angelaius I watched a documentary about this. (Hopefully not at all connected to Sydney's situation.) All the paralyzed girls in that one had had that vaccine for cervical cancer. A boy who also had the same vaccine also became paralyzed.

I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis, or at least a hospital report arrived, and no followup or guidance whatsoever. I have risk of compression of lower vertebrae. Did they explain this? NO! I had to do my own research! Then manage my GPs ego who constantly wants to talk about irrelevant stuff. Then he blames me because he hasn't managed his time well. I had to correct him today and say, well you insisted on trying to give me legal advice, when I am a qualified lawyer and the situation you were worried about didn't apply. Yet you took 10 minutes asking me questions. Don't blame me if the time blows out on the consultation! I mean seriously! He's ticking me off? Then he's missing the most serious bits and I have to steer. him back. And specifically ask: what are the risks? What should I be doing? No I can't walk every day because I can't digest food. I could scream with frustration. It's socially isolating. Glad I asked because I need to move heavy stuff and I won't do it now. I routinely lift and move heavy stuff and now I have to stop! GREAT!! But the report was made in early November and I only got it this week. My GP doesn't have it, it fell into limbo. Sorry for complaining but watching this is making me realise how risky it is for me to do stuff. I'm annoyed and I have to manage my quite justifiable feelings and go and see this GP and try yet again, to get referred to the expert rhematologist in the field of lupus which affects the liver and digestion. But this is my idea not his and they don't like that, so the GP is going to take a really long time about it. I've told and retold my story so many times I could scream. I hope I can control my anger.

she has a update video :)

@@pinkislife962 your kidding

@@pinkislife962 thank you! I’ll watch it next!!:))

I had a C-section in 1998 with my 2nd daughter. My anesthesia didn’t work, I felt when the dr sliced my abdomen. The dr yelled general, they knocked me out immediately.

OMG! Sounds like medieval times when people were drawn and quartered. How barbaric!

God Bless you Sweetheart. I wish you the best. Get well soon.

Hopefully they can learn from my experience and grow! Im just blessed they saved my life!

I agree! That was definitely a bad call by the ER doctor, who could easily have overridden any “official policy.” I can’t believe that the first hospital ER didn’t do an MRI or C-scan! Same thing with me, I can’t believe that the first ER i went to (and my parents) let me sign myself out (they didn’t notice that i was in a semi-coma and acting strange!)

Right?? I think of my 23 year old daughter and she would be FREAKING out. This girl is so inspirational 🤍

right?! like.. presenting w/sudden c/o of severe rib/back pain.. at minimum, where's the CT chest at!?

Totally agree!!! I’m not a lawsuit type of person, and I realize a lawsuit won’t make her legs work again, but every single medical person who was involved with her care needs to be included in a lawsuit.

@@eloiselogue exactly!!!! The way she told her story, it appears there was no radiology until she lost the use of her legs!!! This very likely could have been prevented if they had performed the proper testing initially

My first thought was meningitis as well

It might be shock/dissociation too. Lord knows when i talk about my extreme medical trauma i do it with a smile on my face in public/on camera but sob when im alone if i can feel safe enough Trauma manifests v different in everyone but this not have given her trauma is simply not possible*

​@@ThirrinDiamond Definitely.

Excellent advise. A family friend had a tad of heartbur and a bit of difficulty swallowing but it was barely bothersome, it went for many months so she worried but had to exagerate her symptoms for the Dr to send her for an endoscopy. Turns out she had some pre-cancerous growth in her esophagus.

Dumb atheists for putting their lives into human's hands, it's judgement. Why do you think the whole health system anywhere uses the fiery serpent as their symbol..? Think about it 2 minutes.

We shouldn’t have to. We shouldn’t have to moan loudly if we have a high pain tolerance because doctors won’t listen to us simply by us explaining how bad the pain really is and explaining the symptoms. But there was a time I went the ER in so much pain I was moaning and groaning in pain and couldn’t help it. The nurse abused me physically and mentally. She told me shut up and to stop faking. She would grab me hard and rough handle me anytime she needed to help me with anything. If she needed to put meds in my IV she’s pull on it really hard and tug it around until my arm was dripping blood. I was too sick to do much about it. She hid her name tag from me so I couldn’t report her. She kept telling me it was time for me to go before I even saw the doctor and before getting any discharge paper work. I was so sick though it took me a long time to be able to move and get up to get dressed and leave. Luckily the doctor came by as I was getting ready to go and stopped me and said it wasn’t time for me to go and told me to get back in the bed.

Just popped up on my feed, too. I felt it happened to allow me to pray for her. What an incredible young lady. She'll get back to normal in time. ♡

@@MissFancyClancy Amen!

My MIL (RIP) fell on stairs while pregnant and broke her tailbone.

I shattered my tailbone at 14, but the hospital didn't catch it. I had a pinched nerve in my lower back for 2 years. Went to almost every chiropractor in town. They were very gentle and I had to keep going back for the SAME issue. Then someone recommended a traditional snap-crackle-pop chiropractor. $20. He adjusted me one time in August 1996 and I've never had another problem with it since.

@@newlycreated1864 Those doctors scare the hell out of me. I also have a permanent whiplash injury, and I go into spasm very easily(I can just by sleeping). If they cracked anything on my spine, I'd be down for at least a week.

It's not for everyone, and I wouldn't go to one that wasn't recommended to me. My dad went to a chiropractor after an accident. He had fractured ribs and didn't know it. Not good. He'll never go again.

@@newlycreated1864 an adjustment after rib fracture sounds painful!

If that were a serious consideration (not my or *your* call to make), most states have a 2 year statute of limitations. Establishing a date of occurrence could be vague. The legal systems grinds so very slow. The defense attorneys are working for the insurance company and would like to see it go on and on forever. But, that is what they are paid to do. Also, perhaps, the burden of proof of 'who' screwed up, would be a long involved process. It appears the MRI was the smoking gun that identified what was going on. So, would it be fair to say that *everyone* prior to the MRI was negligent and a potential defendant due to medical malpractice? On the other hand, Sydney seems to carry such a positive attitude towards what happened and the future, the stress of litigation (it's no joke the emotional pain they will inflict on everyone.....ever been subject to a deposition?), she might just be OK and accepting with hope that time alone may allow this wonderful woman a second chance of being OK down the road. Lawsuits eliminate emotion from the picture and the attorney fees are racking up like crazy. The defense attorneys are being paid for by their medical malpractice insurance carrier - all in a days work for them. Unfortunately, people are not like a car... can't just plug in a cable and wait for the computer to spit out a diagnosis.

@@avflyguyMy opinions are based on 25 years of facts, not TV dramas. Yes, most states now have a two year SOL. However, those two years only start to run when the injury is realized. That is, if I woke up from surgery on June 3, 2000, and didn’t know the surgeon left a sponge in my abdomen until April 12, 2007, the two years would expire on April 12, 2009. And just to clear up a point of confusion: attorneys for insurance companies do NOT EVER offer any amount for settlement without getting approval from the claims adjuster first. Further, in the 10 years I worked for the insurance company, not once did a plaintiff ever sue a defendant beyond the policy limits. I’m not saying it couldn’t be done, but I am saying it never happened (So, no. No plaintiff ever “took someone for everything they had.” That’s TV.). Regarding whether I’ve been deposed - no, I have not. But I certainly have coordinated them, scheduled them, subpoenaed them, videoed them, and sat in. It is the job of the attorney to prepare the client for the deposition. If the client is nervous to the point they are unable to respond, the attorney has not done their job by properly preparing the client. Furthermore, if a client is so stressed out they are experiencing negative medical symptoms, something bigger than a simple deposition is going on and medical treatment should be sought immediately. Before you ask, yes, I have been on standby for this very reason while plaintiff’s attorney was deposing a witness. The plaintiff chose to sit in on the deposition of the defendant (as was her right). At the very outset, her attorney clearly had zero control over the plaintiff. Almost every time the defendant responded to plaintiff’s attorney’s questions, the plaintiff herself would gasp, cluck, and tsk disapprovingly while she’d frantically paw through a Bible she had brought with her. She refused to behave, regardless of the number of objections by defense counsel due to her disruption and distracting behavior. The deposition had to be stopped several times while plaintiff’s attorney would excuse himself and plaintiff from the room and retreat to another room where she was (once again) reprimanded. Long story short, the plaintiff got herself so worked up, she began to experience legitimate heart palpitations. At this time, I was contacted to evaluate her fitness to continue. Of course, I immediately administered first aid and called 911 for an ambulance whereupon she was taken to the hospital. Later, her attorney sent us a lovely gift basket and a card of appreciation for having treated plaintiff with dignity and respect. In any event, no, lawsuits do NOT eliminate all emotion from the picture. However, if you have found the right attorney, that person and their staff should act like your very own Knight in Shining Armor. That law office is obliged to protect your rights and advocate for you. If they do not, it’s time you move on. In this case, while I do appreciate anyone’s desire for peace after such a traumatic injury, I cannot help but be concerned for her future. While the less-is-more approach currently is working for her now, I worry what will happen later. Perhaps one day she’ll need all those expensive items and she can’t buy them. If she’s on her parent’s insurance, what happens when that insurance runs out, be it due to age, graduation, etc. Who then will be able to afford the wheelchairs, running blades, modified automobiles, etc.? Winning or settling a lawsuit now, then putting the cash into a savings account or other financial device to assure her future? Now that’s to me a “second chance of being OK down the road.”

@@floofypurplefluff9924 Beautifully said. 💜

@@floofypurplefluff9924 very very well said

I hope she sees this!

I am hypochondriac too, i tought, "well, you never know, maybe i will need this information at some point, just in case".

I’m a hypochondriac too and I shouldn’t be watching this video because it’ll feed the paranoia I’ve been dealing with for the last 2 years and trigger my anxiety. But this girl is so amazing it’s hard not to. For someone to go through something like that with such maturity and strength, especially at that age...What an amazing, beautiful girl. I wish her the very best.

It seems that everyone is a hypochondriac. That is a problem.

screw you, ive struggled with it my whole life, it can be debilitating. Don’t invalidate people’s struggles.

Same I will get one tiny little insignificant pain and thinks it’s some deadly disease

So gl a d ur dadsok

That is incredible! Praying for continued healing!

Personal experience they are so negligent, particularly to women. Such a misogynistic group with massive egos, more so now in general. Female doctors get so bullied.

You are so right. They're quick to give like but try getting a cure and a real diagnosis and that's difficult. In this day and age it's hard to believe it is so hard for them to figure things out.

@@annabell3385 You would think that the best and the brightest would actually be the best and the brightest. And yes, the Attitude so many have towards us mere mortals! 😠

I agree.

I’d love to know how Sydney is going. Such an amazing young lady. 💖

Y’all can watch her other videos of her on her channel

I said the same thing

I was thinking the same.

I thought it would end up being meningitis too.

That's what I was thinking too.

Yeah long story bless her 💕

Same with me!!! Huge cervical MRSA abscess. So scary.

@@kristi.kervin wow I had no idea that was even possible! so scary

Ostiomolistis and an internal abscess. Lost my L1-S1. I've got 42 screws 4 bars and two plates.

You are all young women. Did you have that vaccine for cervical cancer? I saw a documentary showing how dangerous it has turned out to be and so many young people lost the use of their legs and sometimes arms.

@@kristi.kervin Wow,, hope you’re doing ok now! People think MRSA is rare, but apparently it’s becoming more common with antibiotic overuse, particularly in animal agriculture (factory farms,) where they’re run by big corporations that continuously pump up cows with antibiotics to keep them alive in spite of their horrible food and horrific environment. Even though I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life, that practice results in MRSA colonies that communicate with one another and spread.

You are very positive,never give up.The fact you have feelings is a very good sign you can be normal again.I feel you are on you way just need sometime to heal,Bless you 🙏🙏

I am so glad you are doing well! I hope you stay healthy and happy! ❤️
