Omg. The first episode is so manipulative and contrived. WHY DOES THE NARRATOR CONTINUE TO REPEAT HER POINT?
And the Pt...9 years and you never saw anyone but the ER staff? Never followed up with a specialist? Never attempted holistic medicine like.... A diet change!? You still continue to exercise knowing you are causing damage to your body? (BROWN URINE SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING) You flew to Italy and not to CA, one state over? USC has an incredible medical school for metabolic disorders that works on a sliding income scale.
By the way, Doctors don't "sue" anyone. Unpaid medical bills go against your credit, not in the form of a lawsuit.
But dude, seriously, sorry about your dad. He's rough and toxic.
