Exactly as, as she described, I, I walked into, uh, ER to check myself in, and then the, the, you know, ER ballet started, and I had all of, all of the nurses, various doctors coming in, uh, taking blood samples.

IVs were being plugged in.

Um, EEGs, EKGs, uh, various people coming in to ask me questions.

Uh, then being wheeled into, uh, a CT scan and then back out and then back into an MRI scan and then back out and then put into, um, uh, an ER room, uh, with the lights off.
