Fight or die fighting, no surrender.
So I had a case of pneumonia back in late March, which got misdiagnosed by doctors in the ER as just the flu 
Since it was thought to just be the flu, I was sent right back home with a prescription for cough syrup.. all barely an hour after arriving to the ER.
Well turns out that the pneumonia must've felt some type a way about the doctors not putting no respeck on it's name and rapidly turned into what's known as ARDS(Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome).
In short, ARDS is basically when your lungs fill up with fluid and you die(most of the time).
Luckily for me, I didn't go straight home(where I would've been alone) after leaving the ER. Instead, I went to my mama house.
I laid down, and not even ten mins later she had to call the ambulance because I was thrashing around unable to breathe(I don't recall any of this, doctors say probably because at that point I was delirious from oxygen deprivation).
Ambulance took me back to the medical center who realized immediately that:
A - they fukked up from sending me home back on my earlier visit; and..
B - that they weren't equipped to help me.
So I had to be flown by helicopter from that medical center to a hospital that could bring me back to life and get me breathing on my own again.
Well, today I got the bill for that helicopter ride, a ride that I didn't even get to enjoy and have ZERO recollection of since, by then, I was completely unconscious and sedated
