I was completely paralyzed from the belly button down when I was 8, (I’m 28 now) and I will never forget the feeling of waking up and immediately realizing half of your body is gone, and looking at your legs thinking they belonged to somebody else. You immediately start to panic and squirm, you try to get away or stand up but you can’t go anywhere. The confusion and terror I felt for about 15 seconds will never leave me. Nobody had to tell me I was never going to walk again because it so obvious to me. Before my accident, when I saw somebody in a wheelchair, I would feel really bad for them, thinking about how terrible that would be. Realizing I was going to be one of those people now was too much for me to processI have always loved being very girly and I worried I would never feel feminine in a wheelchair. Luckily all of my fears never came true, I quickly adjusted and went on to live an awesome happy life that I wouldn’t trade for world.
This is beautiful needed I had a back surgery people crashed a car I coulda been paralyzed it was very scary hearing those words they hada strap me down so I didn’t do further damage hada keep mailing sure I can feel things
@@JoelEmmettMcGarritybeing a doctor should come with empathy for the patients…. I want to be a kindergarten teacher because I love kids. Do you get what I am saying?
@@Monicuxiable1 Ever spent a moment of your precious time thinking that doctor maybe had a really, really long work day, like, 24 hours or even longer? A doctor isn't there to sugarcoat facts cuz you want to be hand-held. It's not their job to break things to you gently. They deliver facts and get on with their work. Calling that "evil" just shows that you're selfish and only care about your own well-being. Of course a doctor wouldn't care about your dad in any way. They're doctors, not therapists with their gentle voices and fake empathy. smh

Amazing woman!
Not me thinking this was about sleep paralysis
The girl who got hit by the tree.... the Dr who told her that should not be a Dr....😡
Would you rather a doctor be an expert at his job or be nice
@@JoelEmmettMcGarrity both? Empathy is important.

@@JoelEmmettMcGarrity this is old but wanted to thank you for the textbook example of a false dichotomy argument
