"I think you need to go to the hospital."

In March 2015, Laura Molloy, a final year student at DIT, went to her campus doctor. She had been feeling unwell. Her hands were swollen and she didn't have any energy. The doctor told her to go straight to the hospital. The next few hours would change her life forever.

"I honestly feel like I'm dying."

In The Announcement, Documentary on One listeners meet Laura and her boyfriend Luke, as they talk about the symptoms that led Laura to seek medical help and the aftermath of her hospital trip.
