I remember being a young kid, maybe 6-7 years old, and going on live TV in front of thousands of people. I remember by parents saying on TV that I was 'dying' - and I remember how painful that was because that was honestly news to me.

Of course, I wasn't dying. I was a child who had complex medical needs, and of course, this was used to shamelessly raise money from a public who pitied disabled people.
