It's another #parenti post from #tiktok.

I got #pancreatitis back in November 2020. It nearly killed me. I was in ICU for a week and med-surg for another.

When I presented to the ER, with the worst pain in my life, feeling like I was on death's door (I was), do you know what happened first?

THE EXAMINATION OF MY WALLET!

The memory of writhing in agony, grasping frantically for my wallet, hunched over on a cold plastic chair, desperately awaiting care, is a permanent scar.
