The story of this animation is based on my real events when I was sick. I woke up one day with a stomach ache. I tried to get help from Swedish health care. But I end up in the catch22 situation of medical advice.

I started sharing my treatment experiences with other people. Surprisingly, everyone received the same treatment and took the same medicine when they got a stomach ache.

I remember waiting to get my medicine at a pharmacy. Five people in a row just came to pick up the same medicine as I did. Many questions popped into my head.

Was it just a coincidence? Did I really get the right treatment? How many people ended up in the same situation?

I was suffered so much from my stomach pain. I almost lost the will to live. But now I have finally found a ways to get myself back on track. I decided to share my story to inspire people.
“Do not lost hope to get better and live a happy life again.”
