00:00Alright, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me.
00:10Alright, according to television station WKRN, channel 2 out of Nashville, Tennessee, pure
00:19and utter chaos from the second you walk into the door.
00:23That's how one nurse described what it's like inside a Nashville Ascension Hospital following
00:31a cyber attack.
00:33Wednesday, May 15, March, one week since the hospital system was hit, impacting locations
00:39across Tennessee as operations continue to be disrupted.
00:45Nurses are now having to use manual and paper-based systems.
00:49Ascension is a U.S. health provider operating in 19 states with 140 hospitals, 160,000 associates
00:59and 36,000 affiliated providers.
01:03Everything from charting and ordering tests to the way labs are sent and scans read has
01:10been impacted, according to health care workers.
01:13Nurse Erica says, we are a week in now at this and there is no end in sight.
01:19They are saying it's very tense at work.
01:22The atmosphere nurses are worried about patient safety and also about their own nursing license
01:29because all the safety checks that we have in place have basically been eliminated.
01:36Some nurses told News 2 they have to override medications from their automatic dispensing cabinet.
01:44It seemed like there wasn't a plan for when the system went down.
01:48One patient family member told News Channel 2, there's a lot I can say about this cyber attack.
01:55I was a patient repeatedly at Ascension facilities and doctors and nurses.
02:01I was patient dumped and misdiagnosed.
02:05Please go watch the 60 to 60 hours video documentation on what happened to me on my YouTube channel
02:13to understand some of the bad business practices of Ascension.
02:19I believe Ascension creates enemies daily through its corrupt business practices.
02:25Its medical staff generate unnecessary risk because they do bad business where profits and money come first,
02:36not the lives and care of the patients they deal with.
02:40In my own case, narcissistic millionaires and doctors turned trying to find out the truth of my injury
02:48into a pissing contest.
02:51Cyber attacks and investigation by the United States government, which is ongoing against Ascension,
02:58is no surprise.
03:00Ascension has many enemies.
03:03I had a close family member who worked at an Ascension hospital as a nurse for 20 years.
03:10A few weeks after I brought the details of my case,
03:14the first time to the attention of Ascension in St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham,
03:21that family member lost their job.
03:24There's reports in the news media repeatedly where Ascension buys hospitals and other medical providers
03:33and bleeds them dry.
03:35They run the business into the ground.
03:37Services degrade and eventually they close those hospitals and practices.
03:44I tried to bring the details of my own situation to Ascension CEO Joseph Impicciccay in 2021.
03:55And my phone call was never returned.
03:58You've reached the Ascension System Office General Mailbox.
04:01After the tone, leave a detailed message and someone will respond to your call.
04:09I'm trying to reach CEO Joseph Impicciccay, and he can contact me at that number.
04:15And I have a message that I would like to give to Ascension.
04:19Between 2018 and 2019, I was an emergency department patient at Ascension St. Vincent's East Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
04:28I believe I had broken my neck.
04:30I had an x-ray, two CT scans, and later an MRI looked at by Ascension St. Vincent's doctors.
04:38Each time they had told me I had no injuries in this area, I knew their diagnosis was an error
04:44as my condition worsened.
04:47The area became infected and infested with parasites.
04:50By summer of 2019, I almost died.
04:53I obtained my medical records from your hospital along with the x-ray, CT, MRI imagery, and discovered the truth
04:59of my injury.
05:00I had broken bone in the underside of my skull in the area of the condylar canal and occipital condyle.
05:06How the doctors could admit such a large and serious injury over multiple hospital visits is inexcusable.
05:12I believe some element of organized corruption may exist in this hospital.
05:17I have compiled over 10 hours of video documentation on what happened to me on my YouTube channel.
05:24And the name of the channel is My Medical Nightmare.
05:28I believe I may have been a victim of patient dumping in the course of my seeking treatment, which is
05:35a violation of EMTALA, E-M-T-A-L-A.
05:38When I told medical staff associated with Ascension about my discovery, that I had been misdiagnosed repeatedly,
05:45I was personally attacked and my psychological state was challenged.
05:50And this is reflected in medical records I obtained later.
05:54I could not obtain proper treatment or diagnosis for this injury because doctors and nurses that I would subsequently have
06:04encounters with
06:05would only entertain what the erroneous Ascension ER findings were.
06:09My mother, who was a nurse for 20 years, had the misfortune of working in an Ascension hospital
06:16when I questioned my MRR findings involving St. Vincent's Ambulatory Healthcare Network, LLC,
06:22and Dr. Michael Brandt Ruff, MD, radiologist, in March 2019.
06:28My mother, who was a nurse for 20 years and worked in the Ascension hospital,
06:32she was terminated from her job there around the same time.
06:36And so this phone call, I challenge the misdiagnosis of Ascension St. Vincent's East Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama,
06:44and I challenge the policy of this hospital.
06:48And Mr. Impecicke, I think you need to look into this, please.
06:52Please listen to my message, look into what I'm saying, and you're free to contact me.
