I'm sorry, Jehovah. 00:00:59.210 - 00:01:00.810
I'm ashamed really. 00:01:03.450 - 00:01:04.750
The doctor went on about my condition. 00:01:10.820 - 00:01:13.760
She didn't care before. 00:01:18.430 - 00:01:21.400
It's a big deal to her now I'm turning 18, 00:01:21.400 - 00:01:24.300
'cause it's my decision now, you see. 00:01:25.570 - 00:01:28.170
She even said... 00:01:31.280 - 00:01:32.340
She was convinced 00:01:33.450 - 00:01:35.310
that the hospital saved my life when I was born 00:01:35.310 - 00:01:37.510
and that my congregation tried to stop it. 00:01:37.520 - 00:01:39.790
But you do realize that the reason you're alive 00:01:41.450 - 00:01:43.890
is because the hospital gave you blood when you were first born, 00:01:43.890 - 00:01:47.230
when the priests tried to stop it from happening. 00:01:47.230 - 00:01:49.330
Elders, not priests. 00:01:49.330 - 00:01:51.600
She don't understand. 00:01:54.430 - 00:01:55.800
I mean, can you believe she tried to do a deal with me? 00:01:57.810 - 00:02:00.610
She was willing to give me another transfusion if I ever needed one again, 00:02:02.640 - 00:02:07.450
but without telling anyone. 00:02:07.450 - 00:02:10.680
She said it'd be private like, between me and her. 00:02:10.690 - 00:02:13.690
No one needed to know. 00:02:14.720 - 00:02:16.620
And I wouldn't tell your mum 00:02:16.630 - 00:02:18.960
