I watched the first video. Good find. I feel sorry for anyone that has to go through this. The first test that my son had done, I was not allowed to be in the room. My son was able to tell me about the testing. He was scared but he said that the doctor and nurses were right by his side. The test only lasted 8 minutes because of how severe his symptoms were. The MAYO testing was longer and my husband was with him through that test. Test results were pretty similar but MAYO took him through all the testing that was seen on this video.

I have a feeling this will be really useful whenever the Clinic finally decides to give me my results
