Dean Allison · 2:52:41
I want to thank you, uh, once again for being here. I think that, uh, it really explains— I, if I caught that correctly, you said you were filling out 80 to 100 pages? That's right. Or just to, just to, just to fill out an application?
Jasmeet Grewal · 2:52:55
The amount of documents and supplemental documentation that I provided to the support program was 80 to 100 pages because it includes every doctor that I had during my inpatient at the hospital for those 6 months.
Dean Allison · 2:53:08
And what, what type of time— I can't even imagine what type of time frame that would involve trying to gather that kind of information.
Jasmeet Grewal · 2:53:15
Yeah, I I'm— again, my, my sisters are very supportive, very helpful. My partner was very helpful at the time as well, but to kind of stay on top of it, but ensuring that when I got discharged that the entire relevant historical information that I had from day 1 when I was admitted was in those notes, including all the, all the multiple treatments that we tried and attempted, um, and just didn't see the results from. But everything that I could have included was included in those, in all of those pages.
Dean Allison · 2:53:44
Well, thank you. I, as I said, once again, uh, you know, Mike's MP Dawson said, well, we, you know, we, we really apologize for anything that's been through— you've been through. And, uh, you know, it's just as we hear these stories, uh, I think it's important that as more people hear what's going on, that we could continue to push to see changes being made in whatever programs are there, or the with the absolute recognition of individuals. So thanks. Thank you for being here.
Michael Oesch · 2:54:13
Thank you for the opportunity.
Jasmeet Grewal · 2:54:13
Thank you.
Shawn Buckley · 2:54:15
And Jasmeet, I also understand that it was difficult for you to be here. You— it's one thing when you're in a wheelchair, but because you have those pumps and that pool, you took the train because those pumps need to be plugged in.
Jasmeet Grewal · 2:54:29
Yes.
Shawn Buckley · 2:54:30
The batteries don't last long. In fact, that was a concern for you being here today is with the pumps. Would the batteries fail? I think we arranged to have an extension cord for that eventuality. So you actually— it was, it was not clear that you would be able to get here and get transported here. And we really appreciate you coming. We really appreciate you sharing your story. I pray that you'll help change the world and allow us to have this conversation and look at things.
Jasmeet Grewal · 2:54:59
I'll do my best.
Shawn Buckley · 2:55:00
Yeah, so thank you.
Dean Allison · 2:55:01
Thank you very much.
Jasmeet Grewal · 2:55:02
Thank you all.
