Samuel Bardwell, 20, a newly enrolled student at West Valley College in Saratoga was rushed to El Camino Hospital in nearby Los Gatos when he suffered what doctors say was a severe anxiety attack and passed out following the school's first summer basketball workout on June 11.
Bardwell said he had to wait for three hours in the emergency room before Keegstra examined him.
"I'm sorry, sir, you were the least sick of all the people who are here, who are dying," the physician is heard in the video telling Bardwell, who apparently lifted his head to acknowledge the doctor. "There, so you picked your head up. Now don’t try to tell me you can't move. C'mon, sit up."
When Bardwell told Keegstra that he couldn't inhale and felt pain and numbness, the doctor said.
"He can't inhale!" Keegstra said. "Wow! He must be dead. Are you dead, sir? I don't understand, you are breathing just fine."
As the tension in the ER escalated, Keegstra accused Bardwell of changing his story about why he was seeking treatment.
"You're full of s---!" she told Bardwell.
