Run Your Race Podcast (ft. Perry Jones)

tldr;

year 2, he went in for a dentist appointment and was rushed to surgery because they discovered a spreading brain virus. the media misrepresented his situation and reported him as missing time for a toothache. he didn't know how to handle the situation without being deemed "weak" and pretty much suffered in silence.
