Adrienne: Hey, Ian, tell me about the first time you went to the hospital.
Ian: What, the first time I went to the hospital?
Ian: What, the first time I went to the hospital?
Adrienne: Yes, the first time.
Adrienne: Yes, the first time.
Ian: The first time I went to hospital was when I was 13 years old and it was the day of my birthday and I had a pain in my right side and I'd been sick the day before and so on my birthday my mom phoned the hospital and the doctor decided I should go to hospital and I had my appendix out.
Ian: The first time I went to hospital was when I was 13 years old and it was the day of my birthday and I had a pain in my right side and I'd been sick the day s birthday and I had a little pain in my right side and I had been sick the day before so my mom phoned the hospital on my birthday and the doctor decided I should go to hospital and I had my appendix out.
Ian: I first went to the hospital when I was 13 years old.
Adrienne: OW! That sounds painful!
Adrienne: Wow! That sounds painful!
Ian: Mm, but there's more! On my 18th birthday, I had like a lump in my throat, and I couldn't breathe properly and again my mother phoned the doctors and I went to the hospital again and I had a lot of pain. and I went to the hospital again and my right lung had collapsed.
Ian: Well, there's more! On my 18th birthday I felt a lump in my throat and I couldn't breathe properly so my mom phoned the doctors again and then I went to the hospital again and my right lung had collapsed.
Adrienne: Oh, my goodness!
Adrienne: Oh, my goodness!
Ian: I know. I spent about 8 days in hospital and it was is Wales. I always remember being in Wales because I had problems understanding the doctor's accent, and then, are you ready, there's more.
Ian: I know how you feel. I was in hospital in Wales for eight days. I still remember it was in Wales because I just couldn't understand the doctor's accent, and then, are you ready, there's more.
Adrienne: Tell me.
Ian: Again when I was 20 years old I was at university in Leeds, and again I had a lump in my throat and I had problems breathing. I went to the hospital and the same thing again. My right lung had collapsed.
Ian: Again when I was 20 years old I was at university in Leeds, and again I had a lump in my throat and I had problems breathing. I went to hospital and it turned out to be because my right lung had closed up for the same reason.
Adrienne: Collapsed!
Adrienne: Closed!
Ian: Yes, but this time, because we were in a big city, they had more sophisticated medical equipment and they put a syringe, made a very small hole in my chest and put the syringe into my lung and drained away the excess air and my lung was inflated again.
Ian: Yes, but this time, because we were in a big city, they had more sophisticated medical equipment and they put a syringe, made a very small hole in my chest and drained away the excess air and my lung was inflated again. chest and pushed a syringe into my lungs to expel the excess air and then my lungs went back to normal.
Adrienne: Did it hurt?
Adrienne: Did that hurt?
Ian: Not as much as the first time. And I only spent a day in hospital and then they sent me home, but there's more. A week later I had the same problem, a lump in my throat, and I had problems breathing and so I went to the hospital again and my right lung had collapsed again, for the third time, so this time the doctors decided they had to do a bigger job. doctors decided they had to do a bigger operation to make sure that this wouldn't happen again so I was at hospital for two weeks and they cut away the top part of my lung, and stitched me up. I've had no problems since and I'm doing lots of running and I feel much better, but I don't want to have the same problem. don't want to have the same thing again. Ever!
Ian: It doesn't hurt like the first time. I was only in the hospital for a day and they discharged me after that, but it wasn't over. A week later I had the same problem again, choking in my throat and trouble breathing, so I went back to the hospital and my right lung closed up again for the third time, and this time the doctors decided that they were going to operate to make sure that it didn't happen again, so I stayed in the hospital for a couple of weeks, and they removed the top of my lung, and then stitched it back together for me, so now I have a very healthy lung. I haven't had any problems since then and now I will be doing a lot of running and exercise and I feel so much better, but of course I definitely don't want that to ever happen again!
Adrienne: I hope you don't either. That's amazing! That's amazing!
Ian: I know. The thing is, my uncle and my father had the same problems so it's probably in my genes, in my family genes, that we have this. common family problem, but anyway, now I am OK.
Ian: Indeed. It's actually because my dad and my uncle both have the same problem, so it's probably in my genes, in my families genes, that we have this. It's the same problem in the family ****, but anyway, I'm better now.
Adrienne: Wow! That's good!
Adrienne: Wow! That's really good!
