In reply to Jen. As an old (old enough to be your grandmother) Chinese/Hawaiian woman I was riveted by your account. And horrified. I’m so glad you made it through but I feel you were treated terribly by a number of people and that you encountered a great deal of racism. In this time of Covid and Black Lives Matter your story though different had similarities of many. I am so glad you showed and shared your strength and fortitude and pushed through to the other side. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s shocking how many times the system failed, and it makes me wonder what happens to people who aren’t as able to check/follow up/advocate as you were doing. I am glad you are doing well now and recognizing what you need to stay healthy. All the best!!!

I agree it is important to share your story and brave of you to do it. Wonderful that you are practicing such good self care and have loving and supportive friends and family. I am sure your story will encourage others to have an advocate to ask all the questions and insist on good and prompt care for their loved ones. You have given people a gift! Thank you.
