Mit 13 ihren ersten Vollrausch: Baelie Pierce aus Utah hat nun mit 25 Jahren dem Alkohol abgeschworen
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
Baelie Pierce had her first sip of alcohol at the age of 13.
By college, she was drinking daily, often showing up to class drunk.
“I honestly don’t know how my professors didn’t notice,” says Baelie, 25, from Utah.
“I’d drink before class, during breaks, and all night.”
It got so bad that she missed her board exam because she was too intoxicated.
After graduating, she drank constantly, starting with a White Claw the moment she woke up and continuing until she passed out.
She’d visit the liquor store twice a day for 12-packs and regularly woke up in strangers’ hotel rooms.
“I cheated on my boyfriend of six years while blackout drunk,” she confesses.
“It’s something I’ve never admitted before, but I take full responsibility.”
As her addiction worsened, she started calling her family in tears.
“One day, I cried so much my eyes were swollen shut. My sisters finally realised something was seriously wrong,” says Baelie.
Her family moved her back home, but the darkness didn’t lift.
“I lived on the top floor of my apartment and it took everything in me not to jump off my balcony,” she says.
“I seriously just wanted to end it all.”
One day, after a wild weekend, Baelie made a terrifying decision. She got in her car, took off her seatbelt and floored it at 80mph, intending to crash. Miraculously, she survived.
She was taken to the hospital where she worked registered respiratory therapist. It was a humiliating experience, she says.
“My co-workers knew I was drunk. They knew my blood alcohol level,” says Baelie.
“I was so lucky I didn’t get a DUI. That would have ruined my life.”
Too drunk to be discharged, Baelie was kept overnight.
But that night marked the start of her recovery. A nurse gave her rehab resources, and she was transferred five hours away to a psychiatric facility for five days.

“It’s something I’ve never admitted before, but I take full responsibility.”
As her addiction worsened, she started calling her family in tears.
“One day, I cried so much my eyes were swollen shut. My sisters finally realised something was seriously wrong,” says Baelie.
Her family moved her back home, but the darkness didn’t lift.
“I lived on the top floor of my apartment and it took everything in me not to jump off my balcony,” she says.
“I seriously just wanted to end it all.”
One day, after a wild weekend, Baelie made a terrifying decision. She got in her car, took off her seatbelt and floored it at 80mph, intending to crash. Miraculously, she survived.
She was taken to the hospital where she worked registered respiratory therapist. It was a humiliating experience, she says.
“My co-workers knew I was drunk. They knew my blood alcohol level,” says Baelie.
“I was so lucky I didn’t get a DUI. That would have ruined my life.”
Too drunk to be discharged, Baelie was kept overnight.
But that night marked the start of her recovery. A nurse gave her rehab resources, and she was transferred five hours away to a psychiatric facility for five days.

WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
They had only been married five months and were happily making plans together.
And when Jake started complaining about a headache, Cami Bartel thought nothing of it.
He went to bed and the couple hoped he’d be better in the morning.
But at 4am on October 1 2019, Cami woke up to find Jake having a seizure next to her in bed.
“I called 911 immediately. It was surreal, almost like watching someone else’s life unravel,” says Cami, now 28.
“One moment we were planning our future, and the next I was rushing my 27-year-old husband to hospital without knowing if he’d survive.”
What began as a simple headache turned into a full-blown medical emergency overnight. By the time Jake was admitted, doctors were completely baffled.
“He didn’t just have a seizure,” says Cami.
“There was also swelling on his brain, and that really scared everyone.”
Doctors initially suspected a severe viral or bacterial infection and began testing for everything from meningitis to West Nile virus.
“They told me they were checking for all kinds of infections,” she says.
“But every single test came back negative. It was like watching them search in the dark while Jake got worse.”
With no clear answers and Jake’s condition deteriorating rapidly, doctors prepared Cami for the worst.
“That’s when they gave me the five per cent survival rate,” she says.
“They assumed it had to be some virus they just couldn’t identify, but they weren’t even considering anything beyond that.
“I was 22, sitting there, trying to process that my husband, who had been healthy just hours earlier, might not make it through the night.”
But Jake, now 32, defied the odds. After two weeks in hospital, he was discharged. However the nightmare was far from over. No one could explain what had happened or why.
“We went home with no diagnosis, just this overwhelming sense of fear mixed with relief,” says Cami.

WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
They had only been married five months and were happily making plans together.
And when Jake started complaining about a headache, Cami Bartel thought nothing of it.
He went to bed and the couple hoped he’d be better in the morning.
But at 4am on October 1 2019, Cami woke up to find Jake having a seizure next to her in bed.
“I called 911 immediately. It was surreal, almost like watching someone else’s life unravel,” says Cami, now 28.
“One moment we were planning our future, and the next I was rushing my 27-year-old husband to hospital without knowing if he’d survive.”
What began as a simple headache turned into a full-blown medical emergency overnight. By the time Jake was admitted, doctors were completely baffled.
“He didn’t just have a seizure,” says Cami.
“There was also swelling on his brain, and that really scared everyone.”
Doctors initially suspected a severe viral or bacterial infection and began testing for everything from meningitis to West Nile virus.
“They told me they were checking for all kinds of infections,” she says.
“But every single test came back negative. It was like watching them search in the dark while Jake got worse.”
With no clear answers and Jake’s condition deteriorating rapidly, doctors prepared Cami for the worst.
“That’s when they gave me the five per cent survival rate,” she says.
“They assumed it had to be some virus they just couldn’t identify, but they weren’t even considering anything beyond that.
“I was 22, sitting there, trying to process that my husband, who had been healthy just hours earlier, might not make it through the night.”
But Jake, now 32, defied the odds. After two weeks in hospital, he was discharged. However the nightmare was far from over. No one could explain what had happened or why.
“We went home with no diagnosis, just this overwhelming sense of fear mixed with relief,” says Cami.

“I was 22, sitting there, trying to process that my husband, who had been healthy just hours earlier, might not make it through the night.”
But Jake, now 32, defied the odds. After two weeks in hospital, he was discharged. However the nightmare was far from over. No one could explain what had happened or why.
“We went home with no diagnosis, just this overwhelming sense of fear mixed with relief,” says Cami.

SCHICKSALE - hr Mann hat eine fünfprozentige Überlebenschance: Cami und Jake Bartel aus Arizona kämpfen gemeinsam gegen sein MELAS-Syndrom
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
They had only been married five months and were happily making plans together.
And when Jake started complaining about a headache, Cami Bartel thought nothing of it.
He went to bed and the couple hoped he’d be better in the morning.
But at 4am on October 1 2019, Cami woke up to find Jake having a seizure next to her in bed.
“I called 911 immediately. It was surreal, almost like watching someone else’s life unravel,” says Cami, now 28.
“One moment we were planning our future, and the next I was rushing my 27-year-old husband to hospital without knowing if he’d survive.”
What began as a simple headache turned into a full-blown medical emergency overnight. By the time Jake was admitted, doctors were completely baffled.
“He didn’t just have a seizure,” says Cami.
“There was also swelling on his brain, and that really scared everyone.”
Doctors initially suspected a severe viral or bacterial infection and began testing for everything from meningitis to West Nile virus.
“They told me they were checking for all kinds of infections,” she says.
“But every single test came back negative. It was like watching them search in the dark while Jake got worse.”
With no clear answers and Jake’s condition deteriorating rapidly, doctors prepared Cami for the worst.

Herzerkrankung von den Doktoren übersehen: Dan Cipriani konnte dank seiner neuen Smartwatch selbst eine supraventrikuläre Tachykardie diagnostizieren
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Sarah Ingram
The symptoms were scary. Dan Cipriani’s heart rate would speed up and he would feel lightheaded and dizzy - sometimes while exercising and at others while he was at rest.
Dan first went to the doctor when he was 13 with sudden random onset palpitations, but he left the GP’s office without answers.
Dan went back another five times over the years and always left with doctors scratching their heads.
He was given a battery of tests; wearing a heart monitor for days on end or booking into hospital for echocardiograms and ECGs - but nothing was conclusive.
Meanwhile, the episodes kept happening. Dan’s heart rate would reach 220 BPM while sitting down; when it should have been between 60 and 100.
The 32-year-old banking director from London has always been fitness-mad.
He has run countless sub-three hour marathons, three ultra marathons including one 100-mile race and has competed in an Ironman.
He could not be healthier, but each time he would exercise, he would experience these troubling episodes.
‘They happened probably once a fortnight but then became more frequent over the last two years and would last longer, perhaps up to a minute,’ he says.
‘They also always happened during intense exercise. I did an Ironman triathlon and the London Marathon, and my heart rate jumped up to 220 beats a minute during the races, which was scary. I’ve had different diagnoses from stress with my work to potentially low blood sugar’, he explains.
Then, a year ago, he was finally given a diagnosis. After an event where his heart raced constantly at 220BPM, he decided he’d had enough and went back to his cardiologist and demanded answers.
‘My doctor told me to buy a Kardia monitor, which is an ECG device you attach to your phone so you can track a cardiac event when it happens. The day after I bought it, I had an episode and caught it with the monitor, sent it to my cardiologist, and he knew immediately what it w *** Lo
