Finding Support – Lise

 

Lise describes how her sisters' medical expertise lead to her being taken seriously.

And my sister said right away ‘can you show me the results?’. And I had completely forgotten. It had only been the day before, but I had completely forgotten about those results. And then she looked at them and she’s a doctor. And she looked at them and right away she was like ‘get in the car now. We’re going to emergency now’. And I’ve never seen my sister drive so crazy. So, she took me straight to the hospital. She took me in, and they were actually – didn’t take it seriously either. And she was pacing back and forth, and she started screaming at the nurses that I was in heart failure. And they were ‘like well how do you know?’. And finally, she actually went into the ER and started screaming at the doctors and within 2 minutes they had me hooked up to an ECG. Then into a private room and I immediately had a cardiologist there.
