Disability rights - What about Doug's rights? Part 1
So what happened? - I don't know. I think he slipped or something.
Oh my God. - Who slipped? - Doug
Yesterday on the basketball courts, apparently.
Doug? - That's why Sara's not here, I think.
Well, what's Sara gonna do for a dance partner?
Cassie!
Where were you?
I went out to the hospital to see Doug.
Is he okay? What's happening?
The doctors said something like an intracranial bleed or something.
It's where when you hit your head, your brain bleeds or something.
And, I don't know. - So, is he gonna be alright?
Well, they said he's on a ventilator for two weeks at least.
And then he goes into rehab.
Rehab? Like having to learn to walk again?
Yeah, well, I don't know. They say they don't know what it's affected
until he gets in to rehab whether he needs to learn to walk or what. I don't know.
Isn't he like the top of math and English. What's going to happen?
You were at Ian's on Friday, weren't you?
Yeah, I saw you there.
Was it really good? - Yeah.
Was Sara there? - Yes, Sara was there.
Was Sara with Doug?
No, he hasn't come back yet.
But she said he's coming back really soon.
Yeah, sometime this week.
Yeah, he's been away for ages.
Like four months or whatever.
Why would she go out with him anyway?
Cause he's a really nice guy. - Jealous!
You're just jealous cause of Sara.
Hi guys. - Hi Sara. - Hi Doug.
