Update: Birmingham, Alabama: I recently discovered a medical doctor who I was a patient of in 2019 (Dr. Christopher Blake Thomas MD of AFC Urgent Care - American Family Care), who I believe gave me a false name in a recorded telephone call (while posing as another individual, a clinic office manager who went by the name "sadler"), has now obtained employment at a separate medical practice (Complete Health (formerly Northside Medical Associates), Trussville, AL.) I was a patient of in 2019, who would not help me get a misdiagnosed MRI corrected (broken skull head trauma) and edited my medical records.

You can see around 60 (SIXTY) hours video documentation on everything that happened to me on my Youtube Channel: My Medical Nightmare.

Key points:

Dr. Blake Thomas:
- Dr. named as a supervisor at AFC Urgent Care American Family Care roebuck parkway, Birmingham to nurse Kimberly Kelly in 2019 visit.
- xray outsourced to Experity MD Ana Maria Echinique.
- I Was told no injury appeared - BUT a 3 inch diameter translucent anomaly is visable in xray images.
- The same wound area in other scans shows I had broken bone in my skull in this area. $175 visit.
I was given 2 dead end referrals to Perry L. Savage Sr. (50 years experience) Ortho Alabama Spine & Sports and Neurologist Kyle Hudgens of Grand View. both looked at my images showing evidence of head trauma and broken skull and they told me no injuries present. $300x2 for visit.
- I tried to contact AFC and Experity to get errors corrected they gave me a run a round for weeks playing phone tag games, they finally said they would not correct their errors.
- I tried to contact Dr. Blake Thomas directly he was working at the Mountain Brook Hwy. 280 Cahaba Village AFC location, I was connected to an office manager named Sadler, I asked for his first and last name in recorded call, he outright refused to give to me. I later confirmed Sadler was actually The Doctor I was trying to contact: Blake Thomas posing as another individual.
- Forwarded above concerns and others to Alabama Board Of Medical Examiners, they took no action to help me and continue to renew these "professional's" licenses.
- Called AFC CEO Bruce Irwin & Randy Johansen, my calls were never returned.

Complete Health / Formerly Northside Medical Associates:
- Nurse visit to James Frankie Crumb in 2019.
- Referred to Ascension / St. Vincents MRI in same building at Happy Hollow Road Trussville, AL. location.
- Nurse Crumb stuck an instrument in my ear saw infection, recorded in records.
- My Mri was misdiagnosed by Dr. Michael Brant Ruff MD of Vulcan Imaging Associates, noted no injury.
- 6 inches diameter infection visible in head mri in same pictures this MD went to college close to 10 years to see.

00:08under the care of as a patient and who I have recorded in a telephone conversation giving
00:15me a false name and identity claiming he was another staff in the clinic has been employed
00:22by a medical practice who I went to separately and it misdiagnosed me supported misdiagnosis
00:32will not help me get a correct diagnosis and who edited my medical records both the doctor

01:24via experity to a reading radiologist Dr. Anna Maria Echnik MDD-ABR Dr. Echnik wrote in her report
01:36that no injury was present I went in complaining of a possible broken neck or broken skull which led to
01:44the x-ray the diagnosis didn't sit right with me got the pictures I will put them in this video
01:50you can
01:51see roughly 60 a 60 hours of documentation on what happened to me including all the MRI all the CT
02:03all the x-rays the uploaded written doctor's reports I have recorded telephone calls with all these
02:10people thoroughly documented if you want to see them YouTube channel my medical nightmare so in the AFC
02:18x-ray got the pictures back three inch diameter translucent cloudy anomaly appears in the area below my
02:28skull on the left hand side where in CT images you can see a visible crack in bone fracture and
02:38damage
02:39couple months after this I had an MRI done six inches diameter of infection is visible in my head around
02:47the same area I kept going to doctors and nurses and they would not acknowledge my injury I almost died
02:54from this injury in 2019 I was given two dead-end referrals from that American Family Care visit one to
03:05Dr.
03:05Perry L Savage Sr the location is 1801 gas and highway Birmingham Alabama 35235 also given a referral to
03:18neurologist Kyle Hudgens MD 3686 Grandview Parkway suite 600 Birmingham Alabama 35243
03:28three hundred dollar visit at both doctors total waste of my time both of these specialist doctors
03:37looked at the MRI and CT that I produced for them we were looking at the same pictures in the
03:44same room
03:45and I knew that I had broken bone in my skull or cervical area of my neck they sat there
03:51looked at these
03:52pictures that show several inches diameter of infection and head trauma and bone damage and told me there were no
03:59injuries in those pictures this is unacceptable I tried to contact Dr. Blake Thomas MD directly and found he was
04:08I was working at American Family Care AFC Urgent Care Cahaba Village 3000 Cahaba Village
04:15Place Suite 110 Birmingham Alabama 35243 I tried to call American Family Care directly and Experity
04:26I called the CEO of Experity Dr. David Stern my phone calls were never returned AFC gave me obligations to
04:36return
04:36calls they were also never returned when I got people from AFC on the telephone they finally told me they
04:44would not help me get the diagnosis and errors fixed same with Experity Dr. Blake Thomas told me the same
04:53thing
04:53when I originally called his office I never spoke to Blake Thomas after several days of phone tag I was
05:03connected to an office manager who identified himself as Sadler that's S-A-D-L-E-R I asked him
05:10for a real name
05:11you can hear all this in recorded telephone calls in my videos he refused to give me a first and
05:18last name
05:19office manager in a medical practice doctor's office they officially refused to connect me to Dr. Blake Thomas
05:28also I later listened to a WVTM channel 13 television interview with Blake Thomas during the COVID epidemic
05:39and his voice matched perfectly the voice of this office manager that I spoke to Sadler
05:47so I believe I was talking to that doctor who has given me a fake name
05:51I called around to other AFC locations the staff there only know the office manager of the Cahaba Village
06:00Mountain Brook AFC as Sadler around a year after this I learned Blake Thomas was no longer employed
06:09at the Cahaba Village AFC I forwarded these concerns to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners
06:17also I filed complaints with the Alabama Board of Nursing these authorities and governing bodies would
06:25not take any action regarding my concerns they continue to renew the licenses of these individuals
06:31I attempted to call Dr. Donald Bruce Irwin CEO of American Family Care that phone call was never
06:40returned I tried to contact the new CEO Randy Johansson that phone call was never returned
06:47all right so now we'll talk about complete health the clinic that I went to
06:53Dr. Donald Bruce Irwin CEO was known in 2019 as Northside Medical Associates location 7201 Happy
07:03Hollow Road Trustville Alabama 35173 headquarters was in Pell City 74 Plaza Drive Pell City Alabama 35125
07:14I visited the trustful location and nurse James Frankie Crum in 2019
07:23In 2020 Northside Medical Associates and Birmingham Internal Medicine Associates merged with complete health
07:34Dr. Ronald Helms MD also known as Rock Helms
07:39former CEO of Northside Medical Associates located in Pell City was made the medical director of
07:46complete health Birmingham market so 2019 visit with nurse James Frankie Crum complained of possible
07:54broken neck or broken skull I had major complications at this time very close to dying
08:01nurse Crum stuck an instrument in my ear and confirmed swelling and infection I was referred to an MRI
08:12at the St. Vincent's Ascension MRI facility located in the same building as the Northside Medical
08:21Associates location at 7201 Happy Hollow Road Trustville Alabama $500 MRI got the results back MRI was looked at
08:31by Dr. Michael Brent Ruff MD member of Vulcan imaging associates diagnostic radiologist with a special in
08:41neuro radiology went to college for close to 10 years to do his job he does a lot of work
08:47for
08:48Ascension and St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham Alabama he wrote in his report that I had no injuries
08:55present got the pictures back as you can see in these videos and in the same area where in the
09:03CT scan you
09:04can see broken bone several months have passed and I now have six inches diameter infection in my head
09:11very close to dying at this point kept going to these doctors nurses medical practices and they kept telling me
09:20I had no injury so I reported in a subsequent visit with Nurse Crum of Northside Medical Associates Complete
09:29Health I told him that the radiologist missed my injury the only reason I had the MRI scan done
09:37Nurse Crum told me that he would talk to St. Vincent's and Ascension and try to get this worked out
09:45and fixed
09:46because they wanted $500 for the MRI I was a self-paid patient no insurance and I did not and
09:54still do not
09:55have $500 to give to some guy went to college for 10 years it makes $140 an hour and can't
10:04do his job
10:04properly several weeks of phone tag ensued their solution Ascension and Northside Medical Complete Health was
10:13to get me financial assistance to get further medical treatment that original MRI corrected I needed a
10:21diagnosis for an injury I was dying from after many weeks of phone tag I was told I would not
10:30be granted
10:30one type of financial assistance that is access to care I was given paperwork for another type of
10:39financial assistance that I later found out would not help me get my injury treated or even diagnosed
10:47I attempted to contact the radiologist doctors directly and individually called Vulcan Imaging Associates
10:56of which Dr. Michael Brandt Ruff is a member you can hear those recorded telephone calls on my YouTube
11:04channel representative Kim Mooney who does not possess medical credentials told me that Vulcan Imaging
11:11stood behind Dr. Ruff's report 100% they would not correct that doctor's error also tried to contact
11:20Ascension and St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham they would not help me get the errors of that doctor
11:26corrected I believe he's still employed by both of these organizations
11:32file complaints with the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and the Nursing Board of Alabama they would
11:40not reprimand the medical professionals that I went to as patients and misdiagnosed me they continue to
11:47renew their licenses I had a follow-up at Complete Health Northside Medical Associates in 2020 with nurse
11:55Celeste Richardson she would not acknowledge my broken skull injury I had a real hard time
12:03communicating with this nurse during my visit I believe I was not treated as a human being
12:10I took in printed out still images from the MRI which showed six inches diameter infection in my head
12:17she simply asked me where I got the pictures from she would not acknowledge the pictures and argued
12:23with me during most of my visit about the status of my health I was in real bad shape very
12:29close to
12:30dying was told she'd give a prescription for ivermectin but only if I took a blood test I requested a
12:36special
12:37analysis of the blood for possible parasites of fungus etc and she simply told me that would be expensive
12:46so I was not given that analysis in the MRI pictures and in the CT with contrast that I had
12:55done
12:55at St. Vincent's East in Birmingham I believe you can see evidence of parasites and several inch long insects in
13:04my head
13:05which had grown I complained to the manager in the Northside Medical Associates complete health trustful location
13:15I was told that I would get a phone call back never got a phone call back I requested all
13:21of my medical records
13:22from Northside Medical Associates complete health Celeste Richardson and James Frankie Crum
13:30I was told they would not give me my medical records on that day when I did get them a
13:36few days later
13:37they appeared heavily edited with relevant content to my medical condition either omitted and another
13:46thing they did was they put in boilerplate disclaimer language cover sheet was signed off on by the Pell
13:56City office I tried to call CEO Dr. Ronald Helms in 2020 my phone calls were not returned
14:06I was going to inform him about what happened to me shortly after this Northside Medical Associates was merged
14:14with Complete Health owned by Faro's Capital all right so in closing Dr. Blake Thomas MD a doctor who I
14:24was a patient of
14:25FIRSToms in the first five and failed to have failed to prove my adequate treatment
14:28as well as pretending to be another individual and giving me a false name has been given employment by
14:37complete health another medical practice i had dealings with separately that also did not provide adequate
14:44medical treatment and edited my medical records a very unfortunate partnership and set of circumstances here
14:53If you're in the Birmingham, Alabama area and you're seeking medical treatment, please avoid both Complete Health and this doctor,
15:04Christopher Blake Thomas, MD.
