00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me. All right, so healthcare in Alabama is in more
00:12trouble than ever before. Predatory practices are at an all-time high. Patients are losing
00:19money if they're lucky. Some are losing their lives. We've got big outfits like UAB, University
00:27of Alabama at Birmingham, caught stealing the organs from autopsy subjects whose bodies
00:34they were entrusted with. Absolutely disgusting, like something out of a horror movie. Vampires,
00:41ghouls. And then a couple weeks later, you see them doing these business deals, $450 million.
00:49The big loser is Joe Average out there. Those seeking healthcare locally who are self-pay
00:56or don't possess insurance basically get no service in the marketplace now. The corrupt
01:02doctors are looking for cushy insurance plans that they can regularly dip into and launch
01:10their fishing expeditions. Meanwhile, a situation that needs patient advocacy, customer advocacy,
01:19more regulation and oversight than ever. What are our officials and authorities in the state
01:25of Alabama using the taxpayers' time and money to pursue? Let's see. Securing profits for legalized
01:35cannabis sales. Alabama wants to imitate lawless neighbors such as the state of Florida, known
01:42as the home of some of the world's richest and most ruthless drug dealers and gangsters. And
01:48this issue touches me personally. There's a couple of key issues that affected my social life personally
01:55from my teenage years onward. And this is one of them. I watched friends and family in my life
02:04destroyed by street drugs, including marijuana. The spark of life vanished out of people's eyes after
02:13they came in contact with this garbage. Top of the headlines, WBRC Fox 6 News television station out of
02:21Birmingham reports costly delays. How much has Alabama Cannabis Commission spent while patients wait for
02:28products? It says here, the Alabama Cannabis Commission has spent $7.396 million tax dollars
02:37since 2022. The state of Alabama passed its medical marijuana law in 2021. And in three years,
02:46they're still trying to formulate the laws and rules of how they're going to sell this to the public.
02:53Others out there have questioned the transparency of the procedures, such as this article by the
03:00Alabama Political Reporter. And this stuff is just a waste of people's time. There's more important
03:06things going on out there, people. I replayed my call with the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and
03:13Licensure Commission. And this was just before they threw out 11 complaints that I filed against
03:19doctors who misdiagnosed a broken skull injury that I almost died from. And several years later,
03:29I'm still pursuing this. This is an unresolved, outstanding issue.
03:34No, no. You've complained on 11 different physicians.
03:38Yes, sir.
03:39Typically, well, I don't want you to listen to me for just a minute and I want you to tell me.
03:43Yes, sir.
03:45Your side of it. So you've complained on 11, I believe it's 11 different physicians. And it's
03:50basically about each and every one of them's lack of treatment or missing whatever is on the x-ray or
03:57MRI, whatever. Yes, sir. And you also talk about, you're talking about a break at the base of your
04:04skull, I believe. Yes, sir. And you talk about these worms in your skull and neck. Yes, sir.
04:10Have you had any medical professional that has looked at those x-rays or MRIs and said,
04:19yes, those are there. All of these other physicians have missed that. Or is this what you see when you look at the x-ray?
04:28What I found when I got those records and looked at them in April,
04:34what the pain that I felt and what shows up in those pictures, those concur. What the doctors
04:43were telling me and the pain that I felt, that didn't match up. And then what the doctors were
04:49telling me and what I was seeing in the pictures, that didn't match up either. I got those CT pictures
04:55back. And those pictures, they definitely show that my skull's broken. And that totally explained
05:01to me what pain I had. Have you, are you qualified to read an x-ray or a CT? Do you have a medical degree
05:11or do you have something, some type of training that would teach you to read either one of those
05:19things? No, sir. I can tell you, I've been doing this for 18 years and I can't read an x-ray or an MRI.
05:27I don't think you have to be medically qualified to see a broken bone in an x-ray picture. But no,
05:34sir, I don't have those qualifications. Okay. Do you have a medical professional that has looked
05:40at those pictures and said, yes, I see what you're speaking about and I do see a break? I do see.
05:48You see what I'm looking for? Yes, sir. I'm looking for something to hang your hat on that says each one
05:54of these 11 physicians messed up in your care in some way.
05:58This injury that I had, it did not heal. And it became worse and worse and worse and it became
06:04infected over time. Now, what started to show up in these official diagnosis and pronouncements from
06:14these medical people was they began to note the side effects of this main injury. And I believe
06:23that the, uh, the side effects, they noted infection. Uh, I had a nurse that noted, uh,
06:28this is in a record that I have, uh, noted, uh, possible parasites. Uh, so they began, uh, the,
06:37the emergency room in St. Vincent's, they noted, uh, in, uh, August, uh, 2019, when I went back for the
06:45second CT scan, they noted, um, infection, uh, mastoiditis and leukocytosis. So what happened was
06:54over time, uh, the side effects began to be noticed, but I believe the main injury, uh, a number of these
07:02doctors, they would not, uh, they would not diagnose because of the severity and, uh, in the relationship
07:09uh, the, the EMTALA and the insurance and the ability for me to pay. That's what I think. So I
07:15got those, I got those pictures in April. Okay. I found that. And then I went back and I looked at my
07:21other, uh, pictures and what, what I found, uh, to my satisfaction is I believe that this hospital,
07:29uh, and the doctors involved, they were involved in, uh, patient dumping, they patient dumped me.
07:36And I believe this was, this is a EMTALA violation. Uh, it's, uh, United States federal law, EMTALA.
07:44And I don't know if you're familiar with this, but, uh, you know, patient, you go into the emergency room,
07:50there's an obligation for them, uh, to treat you based on your injury. Now, what I believe happened in my case
07:56was I went in there, they asked me about my ability to pay. They asked me about insurance, which I didn't have.
08:04I didn't have a job. I had no source of income. And, uh, I believe that, uh, what happened to me was
08:11that they used the misdiagnosis, uh, you know, as the vehicle to circumvent, uh, telling me the truth
08:20about my...
