Could the current controversy with misreported Volkswagen emissions play a factor in any potential Lemon Law cases?

Dunno if this will get buried, but this happened to me about 10 years ago. Never thought an AMA would be interesting enough but apparently I'm wrong x_x .

I was taking my last final in freshman year of high school at the time. I did not experience a sharp pain as you say you did, but I immediately felt a discomfort and a pressure type pain from in my upper back/chest area. (Keep in mind that your actual lung does not have nerves). I was also short of breath

I didn't say shit to the teacher because I was 15, and what teacher is going to believe a kid taking their last final that they didn't feel good? Walked home from school, my mom saw me and said I didn't look so good, and I told her I felt like I got hit by a car. After clarifying that I didn't ACTUALLY get hit by a car, she begged me to go to the doctors office (I rarely complain about my well being).

We get to the pediatrician, and the doctor that usually sees me is not there. Some other doctor sees me, takes my temperature, listens to my breathing, takes blood pressure, etc. She tells me I'm fine and that it's "probably heartburn".

I explain that I had heartburn before, and it is definitely not heartburn. I don't argue much because I just want to go home and sleep. My mom bitches at the doctor until she suggests we go to an ER to get some more testing done.

We go to the ER, wait an hour, they do an EKG, a chest x-ray, and a few other minor tests I don't really remember. EKG comes back fine. The person who reviews the x-ray is not around, however. They even show us the fucking x-ray which had a cloudy area on the left side of my chest. I ask "What is that?" and the tech says "it's just some gas in your chest. It's normal". Again, I don't argue because I just want to go home and sleep.

On the way home, my mom gets a call telling us it's a collapsed lung (spontaneous pneumothorax) and we need to get back to the hospital ASAP.

We go back in, they put a chest tube in to drain the excess gas from the chest cavity. I stay in the hospital for 5 days and have a shitty summer break.

It happened again a few months later, and we went to a hospital more used to it. My lung has 'blebs' on them, which are small pockets of flesh that fill with air. They fill with air, pop, and then the chest cavity gets filled up and the lung is unable to inflate.

Happens about a year later to my other lung. Eventually, I have surgery on BOTH lungs where they remove parts of my lung (the parts with the blebs). Even now, it still happens occasionally, however I've become a borderline expert on the issue, and when they slightly collapse now its like 10-20%. I just live in minor discomfort for a few days and it restores itself.

I have way too many stories and experiences from this event -_-

TL;DR - Lung collapsed last final of freshman year in high school, pediatrician told me it was heartburn, it wasn't. Was hospitalized multiple times and had portions of both lungs removed to reduce the chance of this happening. Still happens occasionally, but is not severe.

I've worked with a similar agency before to sue a debt collector who was using harassment techniques to try and get things out of me. I appreciate what consumer lawyers like your company do.

Recently, I've been receiving a lot of robo-calls from companies who make absurd claims of debt cancellation or forgiveness. Is there anyway to stop these calls other than blocking the number? I'm guessing these are not debt collectors themselves.

Hey, I'm personal friends with the guys from Splitbreed . I love your collab We Are One.

What was it like working with them?

Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately a Google search on the number just returns similar complaints and no company name. The calls were in fact made to my cell phone. I have several of them saved in my voicemails, if that would help at all.
