Seventeen years ago, Erik Hartman hosted the popular talk show « Boomerang ». A program that caused a lot of commotion.

Presenter: Marijke was 18 years old when a doctor damaged her spinal cord irrevocably. Valère fell victim to a absent-minded assistant. You are watching boomerang and we are going to talk about medical blunders.

Presenter now: Boomerang, that was me, boomerang was mine. It was the first television show where sadness, emotions were discussed. Sexuality as well. We talked openly about everything. So open. It was a controversial show. It was a live show, it was watched closely. I knew that as soon as I made a mistake, they’d make me pay for it. During the show on medical blunders, things went pretty wrong.

Presenter: What exactly happened to you, Marijke?

Marijke: I was hospitalized for a benign tumour. I was operated and they hit my spinal cord. (Starts crying) Sorry.

Presenter: We’ll come back to you later. Valère, you went to the hospital for a simple procedure…? Yeah, what was that exactly?

Valère: Well euh,

Presenter: Excuse me

Valère: Well, I had a lot of trouble with laryngitis. That was apparently caused by problems with my tonsils.

Presenter: With your tonsils?

Valère: My doctor advised me to have an operation. And is the result of that.

Presenter now: Valère had a problem with his vocal cords, and when he talked to me, well yeah, I heard such a funny sound, I just had to laugh so bad. Of course I knew, I couldn’t laugh, so I tried to hold it back, but the more I tried to focus on the seriousness, the more I thought ‘I can’t take this anymore’. It was horrible.

Presenter: Marijke, you had a normal life before the operation? And then you wake up from the narcosis and you realise life will never be the same again. How do you react to that?

Marijke: First, there’s a lot of disbelief.

Valère: Disbelief is the right word to describe the feeling.

Presenter: Excuse me.

Valère: Disbelief is the right word Marijke uses here. It’s also the first thing I felt. I thought ‘this can’t be’.

Presenter: (laughing loudly) Excuse me, excuse me ladies and gentlemen. So you try to… your future…

Valère: I’m sorry, but I really don’t understand…

Presenter: Excuse me, Valère, I’m really sorry. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. That also means sexuality becomes a problem all of a sudden.

Marijke: Yeah, my boyfriend just broke it off. And I don’t blame him.

Valère: when you’re dealing with sex (Presenter laughing) it’s not just the physical side (presenter laughing), but also the sweet words (Presenter can’t stop laughing loudly) I think this is really inappropriate. Do you still want us to answer, because…

Marijke: Just stop talking

Valère: I’d rather not say anything this way

Presenter: Excuse me, really, ladies and gentlemen, I’m so sorry. I apologize. We had question from someone in the audience? Yes, sir, you had a comment?

Man in the audience: I had the same thing happening to me. (presenter laughing very loudly) My vocal cords got damaged in a very simple procedure.

Valère: I think this is really inappropriate.

Man in the audience: I think it is very annoying sir. To have someone making fun of you to your face.

Audience applauding.

Presenter now: It was conspiracy, they wanted me out of there. There were a lot of signs. Normally I can prepare my show with the guests. That night valère was said not be able to get there in time. All of a sudden the board of directors was in there. I got fired on the spot. Boomerang was cancelled. That was the end of my career. Well, of my television career.
