  • Hey, it's Torrboar here

  • I want to share with you a story about

  • how I tried to escape from the hospital

  • Sounds kind of crazy, huh?

  • The story happened all the way back at the time when I was a cute little boy

  • Probably about the age of eight or nine.

  • I was visiting my grandma's house

  • We had a fantastic time,

  • but you know that's not what the story is about

  • And I guess that's enough of the background story for now.

  • So I headed to the shower after dinner

  • I was singing happily just like a bird

  • Didn't know what kind of disaster I'll be facing in no time

  • Everything was great until it actually happened.

  • I turned off the water and wrapped myself in the towel

  • I walked out of the bathroom and I...

  • I slipped

  • I'm not sure what I was thinking about

  • but I wrapped my whole body including the arms in the towel

  • So that's how and why the tragedy happened

  • I fell hard on my chin

  • because I literally had no hands to prevent it from happening

  • I did not cry because I sure was a brave kid.

  • So there were no tears involved

  • But I started bleeding everywhere instead.

  • my uncle grabbed the car keys

  • And here we are at the ER.

  • A nurse took us to the second floor

  • I overheard the doctor talking to my parents.

  • While the wound was deep

  • It needs to be closed up to reduce the chance of infection

  • and so the wound can start healing properly

  • and so I can stop bleeding

  • So what they're going to do is to stitch the wound

  • "Hey, doctor, how bad was my son's wound?"

  • "to be honest, sir"

  • "It's a disaster, but don't you worry cuz you've got the finest surgeon in town"

  • "We're going to save him."

  • Oh

  • "Thank you doctor. But how are you going to do that?"

  • "All we have to do is use this huge needle thingy"

  • "Slowly yet painfully sew the flesh back together"

  • What! Sewing my chin with needles?

  • I have to do something!

  • I can't just wait there like a lamb to be slaughtered!

  • and here comes my chance

  • They're all discussing the issue,

  • and no one was looking at me.

  • I slowly backed up to the stairway

  • I turned around and I started running

  • I ran down the stairs and ran right out of the hospital.

  • I turned left and I kept running. men

  • I was small, but I sure can run.

  • "Hey stop"

  • "Someone stop the kid."

  • I looked back and there's this whole crowd of people chasing after me.

  • It was insane

  • There is the sound talking to me my brain

  • "Run! Run for your life"

  • So I kept running with the doctor is several nurses my parents my uncle, Teddy

  • chasing after me along the sidewalk.

  • I was tiny and they were gigantic

  • There's no way I could have really outrun them

  • they eventually

  • hunted me down after several blocks of chasing

  • and sent me right back to the hospital

  • and this time they had people

  • Guarding me the whole time.

  • So there's no way I could escape again

  • So I had to make an agreement with them.

  • So this is how it works

  • The doctor needs to explain every single detail before each and every step he's going to do to me

  • including what tool he's using

  • how it works what it does and

  • What it's going to feel like when he's doing it

  • now when I think about it?

  • I really feel bad for the doctor who had to deal with all of these,

  • but hey, you can't blame me for that

  • I was 8.

  • Just imagine me as Bambi.

  • I was scared. Okay?

  • So the surgery was a huge success

  • and I had this forever scar left under my chin

  • Symbolizing my bravery of this journey.

  • It's right under my chin. So no one can actually see it

  • But it is there.

  • I know and now, you know

  • So this is going to be another little secret of ours

  • I failed to escape from the hospital,

  • but I think it was the time when I turned into an actual adult

  • Alright, that's the end of my story.

  • I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye
