I thought I was okay, but unfortunately, the symptoms came back much worse than before."

She continued: "Even I returned to the hospital I had been treated in before, on advice from Dr. Tamer El-Nahhas, who personally refused to treat me, and the hospital asked me to sign a declaration that I am fully responsible for anything that might happen if I am treated. Of course, I left because of fear."
