My new way of seeing

About this title

In an early September morning in Maastricht, the Netherlands, one of the neurologists entered the emergency room to report that Lucía had suffered several strokes. For fifteen days of excruciating headaches and vomiting, she was neglected by a deficient healthcare system that kept sending her home with doses of acetaminophen, until one morning Lucía stopped recognizing her surroundings. The left side of her body, as well as her vision, stopped functioning. Miraculously, she managed to survive. After several back-and-forth visits, she received a one-in-a-million diagnosis: Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome.
