Grief is something that never really fades, a fact that was recently highlighted by TikToker Lacee Wendell. She recently had an encounter with a cardiologist in Texas that left her trembling with how upset she was. Worse, the reason she was at the doctor was her family medical history and its impact on her from when she grew up in Utah. Her story really resonated with the community, and the post went on to rack up over 818K views.
Lacee told TikTok, “I went to the cardiologist this morning because my mom died of a heart attack seven years ago. And all of my Utah doctors told me that when I turn 32 is when I need to get my heart checked. So I’ll be 32 in two weeks. And I went to the cardiologist today.” The doctor immediately started things off on the wrong foot, allegedly telling Lacee she wasn’t 32 yet. Things then spiraled when they discussed Lacee’s medical history, which only included mental health issues.
