WEBVTT - Schools vs Gender-Affirming Care 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:04.120 You're list Saints KFI AM six forty. The bill handles 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:10.320 show on demand on the iHeartRadio f This is handle 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.920 on the law marginal legal advice where I tell you 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:21.320 have absolutely no case. Well, there is a case now 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.680 that has been decided by a San Diego federal judge 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.400 ruling in a class action lawsuit, which of course is 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.360 going to be appealed. But as of now, and this 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:36.280 would be in San Diego, but this is a class action, 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.440 so it goes across the board. Parents have a constitutional 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.400 right to be informed if their child starts to present 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:47.800 as a different gender at school. Now, this is an 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:53.400 interesting legal situation because normally you would think that parents 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.000 have to be told of any medical issue with a kid. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.200 For example, the abortion issue is huge that by law, 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:06.920 the school cannot tell parents if the young actually even 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.360 a fourteen or fifteen year old girl in junior high 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.440 school is having an abortion. Can't share that information. And 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.360 that has now been shot down when it comes to 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.720 when it comes to the school informing parents about presenting 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.600 as a different gender. A fifty two page decision, this 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:34.080 Judge Roger Benitez rule that parents have the absolute right 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.880 to know and what it does is It bans public 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.440 school employees from misleading parents a child's gender presentation at school. 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.880 In other words, if you have a boy who is now. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.559 Revealing as a girl, who now wants to be called 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.080 a different pronoun, who wants to wear clothing, who wants 0:01:55.120 --> 0:02:00.720 to go into the girl's restroom, parents have to be notified. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.720 Also bars employees from calling students by names or pronouns 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:11.480 pronouns that don't match their legal ones. If the parents subject, now, 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.760 is it a nickname? Let's say I'm a male and 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.839 I'm Charlie, okay, or I'm Charles, and then I want 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:26.000 to become Betty that's my nickname. Nope, school won't do it, 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.440 and parents have to be informed. It's a real touchy 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.760 issue where we're going with this, and the pendulum has 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.959 swung big time. This was viewed as part of LBGTQ 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:45.360 rights in terms of changing genders and transitioning, and it 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.760 was moving with California at the lead, of course, moving 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.360 in direction to expand those rights, and now we have 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:56.160 the Trump administration is going the other way. Where the 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.040 bottom line is, if you're born male, you are a 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.320 mail for the rest of your life. Doesn't matter what 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.000 you do. Doesn't matter about surgery nothing. You are a 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.639 male and that's what the federal government has just done 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.480 in terms of passports. They don't care. It's who you 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.920 are on that birth certificate. All right, let's take some 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:17.639 phone calls. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:25.680 Hello, Angie, Hi, I went to a dealer to buy 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:31.560 a car and they tucked me into lissing a car because. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:37.400 They asked me how many months I draw.

I 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.240 think that these are option features. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:20.240 They never. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:22.520 Know what. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.080 I've never heard of a contract that says these are 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.680 the option features you can have.

Welcome to handle on 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.280 the law, Robert, Hi will Yes. 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.560 My question to you is going to be I need 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:32.000 to get a lawyer. I am having issues with my 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:37.640 with my neighbor. Last last summer, I had a water leak. 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:44.840 I'm sorry, I'm on in the street, okay. And so 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.160 I had a water leak. And my modern mainline is 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.040 on their on their side of the about two feet in, 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.720 no more than two feet in. I told her that 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.760 I was having a plumber coming. I gave her about 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.440 three days notice and we text back and forth, and 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.280 that when I told her I had a plumber coming, 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:07.000 she stopped replying. So I just thought maybe on on Friday, 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.200 the day that would come, they see all the work 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.000 I'm doing, They're going to say, okay, we'll turn it off, 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.440 we'll we'll help you out. So that day came, my 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.920 plumber did all the work, dugged up everything I needed 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.680 to to find where the leak is at. Couldn't find 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.000 it all right. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.120 Hang on him minute, wha, Robert, Now he went on 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.920 her property to find the water league is that correct? 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.280 Not yet? At this point? That was I dug up 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.520 all my property without where mine and they waiting no leak. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.720 So so yes, then I did before going to her property. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.520 I did call her. I did text her. I actually 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.520 went knock in the door. She has a ring. I guess. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.559 She ignored everything and she took off. She didn't want 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.880 to deal with me, so we were already in the 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.640 middle of eighting. So I did jump over and I 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.800 did access to property. So now because of that, she's 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:58.679 taking me to court for a while. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:00.200 She's taking you to court for what. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:02.800 Okay, I know, I know what. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.880 She's taking you to court for. What, Robert, what is 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:08.720 she asking for? 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.640 She's asking what? At this point she says she's gonna 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.040 to the fullest extent whatever that means. 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.360 I don't know what the fullest extent means. But what 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.880 is she asking for? Neither does she want money? I 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.760 mean if you've been sued, have you been sued yet? 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.319 She sent me an email saying that. 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.760 That means Yeah, that means nothing. Wait till you get sued. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.240 She sent you an email and saying I'm going to 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:30.839 go to the full extent of the law. What does 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:31.920 she want in the email? 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.439 She was asking at the beginning she email, she was 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:39.760 asking for three five for what for? What? I don't 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.040 get it either, She Okay. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.880 Then you ignore it. Then you ignore it. And here's 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:48.200 the other thing. You call the uh, you call the 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:52.080 the water company, the utility, water and power company, and 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.080 if it's a main they will deal with it. And 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.640 it may not be because it's on her property. And 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.840 if I get a letter from the plumber and attach 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.200 it to your email, we'll get an email from the plumber, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.360 attach it, send it to her and saying I'll tell 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.120 you where the lawsuit is. The lawsuit is me against you, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.000 because if the leak is coming from your property, which 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.440 my plumber thinks it is, and you're not letting me 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.920 fix it, or you are not fixing it. All the 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.600 damage that that occurs or that causes my property, you 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.079 are going to be responsible for. You throw it right 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.800 back at her. But instead of asking for money, thirty 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.280 five hundred dollars for what, I don't even know where 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.559 she came up with thirty five hundred dollars because I'm 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.360 still trying to figure out what you did wrong, other 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.959 than go on her property to find out if it's 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.800 a leak. So did you dig up part of her property? 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.360 Was part of Is there a hole on her property? 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:48.520 Because the plumber went there? 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.240 Yeah, so the plumber did to dig in on herself. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.880 Okay, all right, So the plumber found there was no leak. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.680 Wait a second, he did was there a leak on 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.600 her property? Was there a leak coming from hers? 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.520 The leak was coming from her from under the wall 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:04.240 on her side. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.720 Okay. And and your plumber and your plumber went over 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.839 there to look at it, correct, and dug up the 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.559 yard on her side? Correct? Yes? Okay? And she wants 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.400 thirty five hundred dollars for that? Yes, I know, Okay, Fine, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.320 I'm surprised she's not asking for three and a half 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.000 million dollars, you might as well. You came over to 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.080 my property, you dug it up, and I assume the 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.920 dirt is back on. Correct? 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:28.720 Yes, everything fine? 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.360 And so okay, all right, So there's thirty five hundred. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.440 I would ride her back and say, why only thirty 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.520 five hundred? If I were you, I'd assume me for 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.640 for thirty five million? 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:38.080 Why not? 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.679 So at this point, you've got to let her know 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.040 that if the leak is coming from her property, then 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.679 she is responsible for all the damage to your property. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.760 But let me ask you a question. If your plumber 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.559 says it's not on your property and it's not coming 0:12:53.559 --> 0:13:01.600 from her property, where's the leak coming from my Yeah? No, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.720 If he went over and found no leak on her 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.600 property and no leak on your property, no leak from 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.800 the pipes, where is the leak coming from? 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.480 Oh it was, it was on her side of the property, 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.199 but under of course it's in the ground on her. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:14.760 Okay, did it? 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.080 But did he do? I'm confused? Now? Did he dig 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:17.439 it up? 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:18.920 Yeah? 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.880 Yeah, okay, and he didn't find a leak? Correct? Did 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.560 he find a leak? 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.920 Yes, we did. We found a leak and fixed it 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:25.680 it fixed already. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.400 Oh you already fixed her leak. So you fixed her leak, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.680 so now there's no damage, that there's no leak, and 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.640 she wants thirty five hundred dollars. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.240 Because I went over with all. 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:38.000 Oh she's crazy, Yeah, she's she's crazy. You repaired her late. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.040 Matter of fact, i'd sue her for the plumber repairing 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.560 her leak. Yeah, come on, you know it's just I mean, 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.920 she said, reason the letter, then the letter take you 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.679 to court? What do you care you're gonna win? 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.880 I have no, I have no poem with it. I 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.040 was just saying, do I need a lawyer for No, it's. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.200 Going to be a small claims court matter. No, you 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.960 don't need a lawyer. No, you're fine, You're fine, not 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:04.920 a problem at all. Jill Becky, Hello, Becky, welcome. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:06.160 Thank you. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.240 Yeah, I'm on a bike. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:09.800 Can you hear me? 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:10.120 Okay? 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.640 Yeah? Actually can okay? 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.760 I live in Ventura County in. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.520 A fifty five plus community. We have a private water company. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.360 We pay ten dollars a month just to rent the meter. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.720 And that's fine, okay, no problem. But now that water 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:36.640 company has started charging twenty dollars a month for administrative's feet. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:40.680 Is that legal? 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.440 Sure, it's a private company. They can charge whatever the 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:48.440 hell they want, unless unless they are regulated by the 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.680 Public Utilities Commission, which I think they may be. So 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.240 call a PUC, call a pu see and said, is 0:14:54.280 --> 0:15:00.280 this allowed? Is it in violation of whatever administrated decision 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.880 the PUC makes? But keep in mind it's a private company. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.360 So switch switch companies? 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:06.960 We can't, we can't. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.600 It's when you're in a condo unit. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:10.720 They own the meters. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:11.960 Who owns the meters? 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.400 That meter company? 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.520 Okay, and you can't go so they own the meters. 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.360 A meter company won't come in and switch out meters 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.600 a new one. And I don't know the answer. Yeah, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.720 I don't know the answer. I don't know the answer. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.760 And I would think that the board is really angry 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.680 at this and they're not here. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.080 Well, they'll no one even notice because people know. 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.080 Okay, well, okay, you bring it up. Okay, good, you 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.360 bring it up to the board. And there are two 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.720 issues here. One, I don't know if they're allowed to 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.440 do that because your question, is that legal? Well, I mean, 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.320 it's a private company. They can do whatever they want. 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.240 I mean, when people know, is it illegal it's not 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.840 against public policy or anything. However, is there a limitation 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.400 under the Public Utilities Commission which regulates all utilities? 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.880 And I'm assuming this falls. 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.600 Under the utility And two can you switch out the 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.760 meter and simply get another company? And will they put 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.120 in free meters? And I don't know the answer. So 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:06.520 those are the choices you have. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.440 And by the way, you're riding a bike. How old 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:10.720 are you? 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.120 I'm seventy four. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.400 I just swam an hour wow, and while I. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:16.000 Was on hold. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.520 While I was on hold, I did eight. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.120 Miles of my twelve mile micro Wow. 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.120 Good for you. That's impressive. I have to tell you. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.240 That is impressive. All of a sudden, I care about 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.440 your water. I mean before you said that, I kind 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:28.720 of drug. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:29.400 Yeah, I couldn't. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:30.880 I couldn't care less about your water. 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:31.600 That's good. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:32.080 Wall. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:36.040 That's impressive. Seventy four years old and doing that hour 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.480 swim or a two hour swim and then a twenty 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.960 five mile bike rider. Where the hell she did? 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:42.200 Yeah? 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.560 Ultra marathon, Yeah, I love it. I just saw a 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.760 documentary about it. There's an ultra marathon at least the 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.040 hardest race in the world is who the Sahara Desert, Morocco, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:58.320 and people actually run it, and I mean it is bad. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.720 I mean it's like it's crazy. It's days and days. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.000 And there was like a lady in her seventies running it. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.439 Now she didn't make it, but most people don't and 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.639 then they have the ambulances that come with it. I mean, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:15.280 it's really interesting stuff. This is Handle on the Law. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.080 You're listening to Bill Handle on Demand from KFI AM 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:25.080 six forty. Welcome back Handle on the Law. Bill Handle 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.760 here Marginal Legal Advice. Hi Anita, welcome. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:37.280 Hello, Yes, so happy to get through. My problem is 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.560 my vision. Well, that's one of my problems. I have 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:48.840 had cataract surgery and I don't know what they did. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.200 They kept telling me, well, wait and see, we'll see 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.120 if it gets better. But I went from having mild 0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:01.359 cataracts because I'm a realtor and I was having trouble 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:07.720 reading street signs and they were just mild. But they 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:15.520 also did some snipping and cutting and stitching to get 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:21.960 the fluid level down. But I found out later from 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:28.040 requesting my blood work from the lab core that they 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.520 my blood sugar then was twelve point nine and they 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.639 shouldn't have done the surgery at all. Oh okay, now 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:35.840 I cannot read. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:42.240 All right, Anita, that's a good case. You have a 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.120 decent you have. Yeah. Yeah, based on what you say, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.000 that's a medical malpractice case. If they performed eye surgery 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.440 on you and there was a test that was done 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.280 in terms of which, of course, they do the glaucoma test, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.280 and I mean they test the hell out of your eyes, 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.119 which they have to. And if they missed a test 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:07.000 and you're now more blind, you got them, Anita, you 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.960 have you know, And I don't know if they can 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:11.800 straighten it out. I mean, you're certainly not going to 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.040 go to the same ophthalmologist, but I don't know if 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.000 you can straighten it out. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.199 I don't know if it's permanent damage. I'm hoping not. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.800 How old are you, by the way, Anita, seventy eight? 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.719 Okay, and you're still working. 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.440 I have a referral real estate license. 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.960 Oh I don't know what that means, but okay, yeah, 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.960 things I get paid if I give a referral app. Well, 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.439 you need you need a license for that. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.200 Yes, I didn't know that. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.400 In any case, I want you to talk to a 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.960 medical malpractice attorney and you can go to handle on 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.080 the law dot com because we have medmal attorneys on 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.679 the website Handle on the law dot com.

And how blind are you? 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:10.240 They cannot make my dis division better? It's not even 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:11.639 as good as it was before. 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.399 Right now, I'm not Yes, I understand that you had 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.800 said that how blind are you? Is what I'm asking, Anita. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.919 Well, let's see, I have a hard time unless I 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:26.880 know what it is seeing up eating scrambled eggs, mac 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.440 and cheese or mashed potatoes. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:35.160 Okay, so here's the way I here's how I determine Yeah, 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:39.680 here's the way I determined blindness. Okay, using a seeing 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:44.359 eye dog as sort of mid grounds. So you're seeing 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:49.040 eye dog minus or seeing eye dog plus. And I'm assuming, 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.160 based on what you said, it's seeing eye dog minus, 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:53.600 which is better than plus. 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.560 You get that, but. 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.240 It's it's still a yeah.

But my husband died in 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:29.000 twenty fifteen, and he shouldn't have because I left the 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:33.960 letters and notes posted on his bulletin boards to cancel 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:39.240 on a Monday a procedure to drain the fluid from 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.520 his lungs because I thought he was way too weak. 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.639 And his other infectious disease doctor said, he doesn't need it, 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.720
