Hmmm...the more I read the forum skepticism about Chantal's diagnosis and ER visit in general, the more skeptical I am finding myself becoming too...
At first, I was taking her pretty much at her word (which, in retrospect, I admit is always a very stupid thing to do). I mean, after all, why would anybody lie about this? (Another dumb assumption on my part; I'm not as smart as my avatar is)
Piecing together some of the objections raised in this thread along with what we know about Chantal, here is where my own speculation now lies:
1. I don't doubt she went to the ER since she came back bearing the boilerplate "what is thrombosis" printout. It could have been printed at home, I suppose, but that would require a sinister level of evil forethought that I just don't think fatso can muster. Not that she isn't sinister and evil, but she usually resorts to her chicanery after the fact. She is a lot more reactionary than proactive. Also, she did have medication with her. I will assume it is not grandma's, although my assumptions have bitten me in the ass before.
2. I am skeptical now about the claim of a blood clot in her lung. I think it was raised as a "possibility" and it was more dramatic to say "I have a blood clot in my lung" than to say "I am at high risk of getting a blood clot in my lung" Phrasing it her way assures her of pity and encouragement, which she really needed after her recent episode of chimping out at the audience. Also, by claiming to have one already and not merely at risk of one, she oafishly sidesteps the obvious retort, "well are ya gonna do anything about your lifestyle to prevent that clot?" She can jump right to the pity and comfort stage, thus passing GO and collecting $200...
3. If her life were at immediate risk, I don't think they would have released her. I suspect they gave her blood thinners as a matter of routine prevention; it wasn't serious enough to warrant surgery, which would have presumably sobered her up a lot more. However, she is able to present the medication as the "cure" for a "blood clot"
4. This whole escapade has enabled her to shore up the sagging image of her relationship with Bibi, following her pained dinner date video. Bibi was not only there at the hospital, but he will be injecting her medicine into her fat because he knows how to do it (!) Funnily enough, no sooner did she say this, but a silent Bibi got up from the sofa and left the room.
5. Her demeanor is way too giggly and excited for even a moron with a blood clot. She knows she doesn't really have a blood clot, or she is too fucking stupid to live. (Both are possible, but the former is more likely) Her totally relaxed, shit-story-peppered, giggly sleepover livestream (really, can a deathfatty get more lazy than to livestream from her pillow in bed?) just doesn't jibe with someone told they have a life-threatening condition.
6. She was busy deleting comments when she supposedly was sleeping after her 5-hour second visit to the ER. It was during that time that she deleted the top vote-getter on her "bad news" community post.
I am now of the mind that there is no clot; she's just mil.king her condition for sympathy (which always works for her, until she undoes it all with a chimpout) The chimpout will be set into motion by people questioning the veracity of her story, most likely.
This all feels like a replay of October and last year. When things were going badly for her due to her own stupidity and sloth and deceitfulness, and she seemed painted into the corner of all corners, she would very abruptly land herself in the hospital, and everything would be forgotten. She always seems to get a free "do over" pass every time she goes to the hospital, where everyone seems to drop whatever controversy was brewing before the hospitalization.
What do I know? Nothing. After all this time, she still dumbfounds and perplexes me. But the ambient atmosphere is thick with doubts right now, and the fumes have gotten to me too...
