Lucie L. reports how her husband's colleagues brought him home after he had difficulty breathing.

TRANSCRIPT

Lucie L.: Once, he was not yet at A [employer], he was working for B [employer] and he had a crisis of hyper ventilation. And he was knocked down that away they didn't know-"He's in a coma." They took him, they took him home, I wasn't there, they looked for the keys, they found the keys and they came in and put him on the bed. I: Why didn't they take him to the hospital? Lucie L.: Eh exactly! I: Because how can you leave a person [...] But this people from work [...]. Lucie L.: Eh yes. And then I see him and they say, "Eh we put him here," he was in a little girl's bed. And when I saw him I called the doctor right away. He said, "I'm coming." And he did all the checks he called the Ambulance and they took him to the hospital. That was the first time, but that was in the years, he stopped in '89, that was before. So that means Parkinson's has had it for at least 30 years. Interviewer: I know this was 30 years ago. Lucie L.: If we think about that history. Then it happened one more time. Again at the hospital. Always the same thing, they found nothing.
