Collien Fernandes Details Unexplained Health Crises, Faults Care System

Her interview casts the episodes as evidence of failures in diagnostics, including inadequate attention to sex-specific medicine.

Overview

  • In a t-online interview, she recounts a sudden loss of mobility years ago that left her in a wheelchair for months without a diagnosis.
  • She also describes a separate bout of high fever with red spots across her body and severely swollen knees.
  • She says no doctors could help during either episode, which she reports caused significant fear.
  • She urges improvements in medical diagnostics and research, arguing that women face gaps when symptoms do not match male-centered models.
  • Focus Online and DerWesten relayed her account on Sept. 5–6, and no official response or new medical findings have been reported.
