Tell Me What Time It Is: Doctors and Surgeons and Nurses, Oh My! (Part One)

The true story of 14-year-old Lewis Schofield, am award winning professional kid with cool ideas, Asperger Syndrome (a form of Autism) and now, Myasthenia Gravis, too. Myasthenia Gravis is a life threatening, debilitating, rare and complex neuromuscular auto-immune disease for which there is no cure. It strikes 1 in 500,000 children (Source: Karen Hill-Whitson, president of the MG Ontario chapter).

Lewis underwent a thymectomy on June 10, 2009 at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario (Canada), He decided a month prior to his surgery that he would create a video that would help explain Myasthenia Gravis and why thymectomies are sometimes performed on people diagnosed with MG.

His original video entitled "Tell Me What Time It Is: My Life WIth Myasthenia Gravis" which was uploaded to YouTube in March 2009 is being used by Sick Kids as well as by a number of health organizations and MG chapters around the world.

This is Part One of this video. In Part Two, Lewis discusses openly what he went throughon the day of his surgery and what happened afterwards.
