But three years ago, the 34-year-old waiter practically collapsed onto the floor with intense stomach pain. “ thought maybe I had a stomach bug or something. It was terrible,” Hess told ABC News’ “20/20.” But then there was something else strange happening to Hess. “We would be watching television … and by the end of the evening, he would start to be confused, and he would start slurring,” Hess' wife Karen Daw told “20/20.” “And he did smell like he had alcohol on his breath.” Hess said he was not a frequent drinker. Daw, who works in an office, began filming videos on her phone of Hess appearing to be intoxicated even though he hadn’t been drinking, with the intent of showing doctors the footage. Daw and Hess met with several doctors to try to find out what was happening to Hess. “The amount of tests I could never tell you. I've lost count a long time ago,” Hess recalled. “I've had at least three colonoscopies, three endoscopes.” [ link to abcnews.go.com] |
