00:00All right, so four years following a visit I had as a patient, all right, it appears
00:06that Dr. Kyle Hudgens, MD, has retired from Grandview Neurology.
00:13They're affiliated with the Grandview Medical Center located off Highway 280.
00:20His name and profile no longer appears on the Grandview Neurology website, and I'll
00:26play this pre-recorded message that you can hear when you call their office.
00:32His name is also no longer mentioned.
00:35Thank you for calling Grandview Medical Group Neurology.
00:39The office of Dr. James Strong, Drew Uric, Stephen Suggs, and Natalia B.
00:47You have reached Grandview Neurology's front desk.
00:49We are currently in clinic.
00:51When I call Grandview Neurology now, I no longer can get anybody to pick up the telephone.
00:56I believe I was blacklisted.
00:59The reason, tough to say, but the day that I had scheduled an appointment with Dr. Hudgens,
01:06I paid close to $300 cash for my visit.
01:10And this neurological surgeon, who has worked since 1987, decided he was not going to do
01:18his job that day when he found out that I had no insurance and I was a self-pay patient.
01:24He was accepting referrals from possibly the worst medical practice in the Birmingham, Alabama
01:32area, AFC American Family Care Urgent Care.
01:36When a human being does answer the telephone in this office, you can see in some of my other
01:42videos with the recorded phone calls, the receptionist does not give their first and last name upon request,
01:51and they're using pseudonyms and nicknames here.
01:55These doctors make some of the highest salaries of any professional in this hospital.
02:02This is something that people need to be aware of.
02:04However, I'm still receiving bills from my visit with Kyle Hudgens.
02:09I got this bill earlier in 2024.
02:14This doctor was given access to MRI, CTs, and x-rays, which showed I'd broken the underside of my skull.
02:24And I'll give the details of my visit following this introduction.
02:30This is what I wrote in my Better Business Bureau complaint in 2021.
02:37Grandview Neurology and Dr. Kyle Hudgens owe me a correct analysis of my injury that I almost died from when I visited their location.
02:51And I will not pay another penny to this group until I receive adequate service.
02:59This is, I was a patient, a customer of Kyle Hudgens, MD, and he works for Grandview Neurology.
03:08And this is located off of Highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama.
03:14Alright, so I was referred to Grandview Neurology from a visit I had at America Family Care.
03:24That's AFC Parkway East, Roebuck, Birmingham, Alabama.
03:31And this was on May 30, 2019.
03:35So I had a standard x-ray done during this visit, and it was reviewed as having no injury present.
03:48Alright, so I got the original x-ray images, and I'll put them up here.
03:53And despite this diagnosis and pronouncement, yeah, and I was misdiagnosed because, yeah, something shows up in these pictures.
04:05This was by Anna Maria Echenique, MD, DA, BR, for American Family Care.
04:13And in the x-ray images, you can see there is a translucent oval.
04:21And it shows up directly below and covering this area where I had pain that sent me around to many doctors
04:32and emergency room visits between 2018, 2019, going into 2020, 2021, this wound is still not healed completely.
04:47Alright, so despite American Family Care saying I had no injury present, they referred me to a neurologist.
04:57So funny how that works, right?
04:59So this visit, it was at Grandview Neurology directly next to Grandview Medical Center off Highway 280 Birmingham, 3686 Grandview Parkway, Suite 600.
05:14Alright, so here's my bill from Kyle Hudgens, Affinity Physician Services, LLC.
05:25So there's another name this business operates under.
05:31I very slowly recovered from this wound in 2018.
05:36And as I've gained strength, I've been able to go back and chase after these loose ends.
05:42Well, I went around to many doctors, medical professionals around the Birmingham, Alabama area.
05:51I paid a lot of money and I received substandard service.
05:58And I believe I was a victim of patient dumping throughout this thing.
06:03I have no insurance and I have no source of income, I have no job.
06:08So I was a cash pay patient and I believe this singled me out for this kind of treatment
06:20in the post-Obamacare world of American healthcare.
06:26I paid $256 to be seen by Grandview Neurology Affinity Physician Services, LLC Neurologist, Kyle Hudgens, MD.
06:37The doctor engaged in too much irrelevant small talk.
06:41When I moved the conversation to Miami, he acted offended.
06:44I showed him, I printed, and I gave him copies of the discs, CD-ROMs, with my medical records and images.
06:58That's x-ray, CT scans, and MRIs.
07:03Showing the pebble-sized piece of bone that broke off the underside of my skull.
07:09And I was told no injuries or abnormalities were present.
07:12I showed him a CT picture from a few days earlier showing a CSF leak, infection, hole in the bottom of my skull,
07:24clearly visible head trauma, 3 inches plus, in diameter, in an MRI, CT, and I showed him some x-rays as well.
07:34In the image, he asked, so yeah, Kyle Hudgens, he asked me, when I showed him these pictures,
07:43well, what did they say it was?
07:46Alright, and, so then I was told I had simply strained a neck muscle.
07:53And that was his diagnosis pronouncement that he wrote in his records.
07:58And he advanced the psychological etiology as well.
08:03For a purely physical problem I was carrying, and he wrote in my records I was exhibiting aberrant behavior.
08:10And I had a chronic infection in my neck below this injury.
08:14And basically I was dying at this point.
08:17My health was sliding into serious decline.
08:21He did not write me any prescription for medicine.
08:27And he gave me no referral on to another doctor.
08:33And his opinion was incorrect as well.
08:38It was a misdiagnosis.
08:40And his erroneous pronouncement adversely impacted future medical professionals' opinions of my injury.
08:47Last week I did some videos on my exchange with Birmingham Radiological Group.
08:56And they had three radiologists who misdiagnosed my x-ray CT scans and an MRI scan that I had done
09:08at St. Vincent's East Hospital Ascension and American Health Imaging.
09:15And these radiologists were Angus Baird, M.D. in American Health Imaging.
09:21Julian Patrick Druhan did the x-ray and two CT scans for St. Vincent's East Ascension.
09:30And Donald Shane Kelly who did the CT scan I had, with contrast, also at St. Vincent's East Hospital.
09:41So yeah, when you go around and you have these different medical scans,
09:47and you take the medical data and you move it on to the next doctor or hospital,
09:56yeah, and what's produced in these various medical encounters, this does not exist in a vacuum.
10:02But in my case, I got all my records and I took this around with me to these new doctors that I would visit.
10:11All right.
10:12And yeah, in this video series, I will illustrate how the erroneous pronouncements and the misdiagnosis
10:20of the three radiologists who are members of Birmingham Radiological Group that I mentioned,
10:27that information, it later adversely impacted the medical opinions of otherwise unrelated doctors.
10:39So yeah, I took the St. Vincent's East Ascension imagery to Grandview Neurology in Kyle Hudgens.
10:52He took the pictures and yeah, he looked at them and I gave him a disc and he left the room where the medical encounter took place.
11:04And he went and looked at these pictures, I believe, on a computer for about 10 minutes.
11:11And then he came back into the room.
11:13So please note here, Kyle Hudgens, when I showed him these pictures, he didn't say,
11:19I can't look at those pictures.
11:22I don't know what I'm looking at, etc.
11:25He took the pictures and he proceeded to review them.
11:29All right.
11:29And this is a very significant.
11:31Yeah, I asked him, what did the pictures look like?
11:33And he was kind of cagey, kind of quiet about what his thoughts were.
11:43And then he comes back and he asked me, well, what did the doctors,
11:49what did the radiologists involved in those scans say the diagnosis was?
