Laurie Buckhout: “I had pneumonia three times. One year.”

“I was assigned to the Pentagon, and I was kind of wasting away. I was, like, starving to death. I couldn't eat. I was sick all the time. My immune system was shot. I had pneumonia three times. One year. It's like, I gotta do something. So I started going to counseling once a week and got medication when I was in the Pentagon. Tedious as hell.” (16:49–16:52)
