Trussville has invited local medical practices Ascension (UAB /Saint Vincents) & Grandview to set up freestanding Emergency Departments in their community, the Ascension ER opened in February, 2024 at 6670 Green Dr, Trussville, AL 35173. I have had dealings with both providers as an ER patient in recent years and must STRONGLY advise (I had a misdiagnosed broken skull injury I almost died from) any person that is interested in doing business with these facilities or those who have a health matter they are tempted to have treated in these practices to go elsewhere (SEE MY OTHER 70 PLUS HOURS Of VIDEOS FOR DETAILS). Problems I had after a $300 neurologist (a multimillionaire) visit ended with me speaking to a rep for the MD who went to college 10 years to do his job giving me a false name and refusing to identify with a first and last name to protect themselves from liabilty. At the Ascension Saint Vincents ER I was misdiagnosed repeatedly and Patient Dumped.

The city of Trussville is going to run into problems with these BIG CITY medical scammers (ie: ripped off patients and wrongful death cases) that they are not going to be able to handle, The city is simply too small and does not possess the resources to regulate them.

I encountered issues of medical fraud and corruption in my dealings with medical staff and facilities around the Birmingham, Alabama area in recent years. I almost did not survive multiple misdiagnoses I encountered going into their ER and attempts to have Ascension account and correct it errors were met with denials and excuses as to their responsibility. I highlight many of these, even recording phone exchanges in other videos on my Youtube Channel. I replay My October. 13th, 2021 phone call to Ascension CEO Joseph Impicciche who's hospital oversight network includes Ascension Saint Vincent’s East Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.

Between 2018-2019 I was an emergency department patient at Ascension St. Vincent’s East Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. I believe I had broken my neck. I had an X-Ray, 2 CT scans and later an MRI looked at by Ascension Vincent's doctors, each time they told me I had no injuries in this area. I knew their diagnosis was in error as my condition worsened. The area became infected and infested with parasites by summer 2019. I almost died. I obtained my medical records from their hospital along with the X-Ray / CT / MRI imagery and discovered the truth of my injury. I had broken bone in the underside of my skull in the area of the condylar canal and occipital condyle (possibly my foramen magnum was also fractured). How the doctors could have missed such a large and serious injury over multiple hospital visits is inexcusable. I believe some element of organized corruption may exist in this hospital. I have compiled over 10 hours video documentation on what happened to me on my youtube channel

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.
00:10All right, the city of Trustville, Alabama, USA, sells out its townsfolk by inviting
00:16corrupt hospitals into its community.
00:20And there's two of these so-called freestanding emergency departments that are springing up
00:28within the Trustville city limits.
00:31The Grandview Hospital opened this past summer at 5542 Vandler Burge Lane, Trustville, Alabama, 35173.
00:41The Ascension St. Vincent's East freestanding emergency department opened at 6670 Green Drive,
00:52Trustville, Alabama in February 2024.
00:57This video is mainly going to focus on Ascension, but I cannot recommend that you go to Grandview
01:04to seek medical treatment because in my experience, when I had problems, when you call their hospital,
01:11they have staff that deal with the public that will not give first and last names.
01:17They use pseudonyms, fake names, and nicknames.
01:22If you're dealing with serious injuries that may cost into the tens, hundreds, thousands of dollars,
01:30millions of dollars to treat, you can't afford to deal with so-called professionals that won't
01:35give you a real name.
01:37Unfortunately, in the state of Alabama, many medical practices, doctors' offices, and hospitals
01:44do abide by this practice, and the state of Alabama Medical Board will not help you when
01:52you go to them about these matters.
01:55I've been there and done that.
01:56You can go to my video channel, and I've got recorded phone calls with all of these people.
02:01Just take a listen, and you'll see the truth and the reality.
02:04My own opinion, having experience with Ascension St. Vincent's and some of their facilities and
02:12doctors around the Birmingham, Alabama area, this is a huge mistake on the part of the city
02:19of Trustful.
02:20You want to know what I'm talking about?
02:22Please listen to the end of this call.
02:25You'll hear a message I left to Ascension Chief Executive Officer Joseph Impechike.
02:32Ascension is, of course, one of the United States' leading non-profit and Catholic health
02:41systems.
02:42They have over 134,000 associates, 35,000 affiliated providers, and 139 hospitals under its management
02:55in 18 states.
02:56In the Birmingham, Alabama area, this includes St. Vincent's and associated hospitals such
03:04as St. Vincent's East.
03:05What it comes down to for the city of Trustful is there are simply not resources in place
03:13in your city to adequately gauge and enforce regulations against the corrupt business practices
03:22of this hospital.
03:24Another issue with Ascension, people are simply paid off to look the other direction when problems
03:32arise.
03:33Please see the letter of United States Senator Tammy Baldwin of the state of Wisconsin, who
03:42has looked into Ascension and their impact in various communities.
03:48What people live in in Trustful have got to look forward to in the future as it relates
03:53to Ascension St. Vincent's.
03:56Problems are going to arise and you're going to notice that they just get ignored, swept
04:03under the rug.
04:05Search the review sites as far as patient experiences with Ascension and employee experiences working
04:13for Ascension.
04:14You'll see what I'm talking about.
04:16I'll show you here a review by a registered nurse currently employed from Indiana who works
04:24for an Ascension hospital.
04:26She describes Ascension as a sinking ship.
04:30She observed Ascension take over St. Vincent's Hospital.
04:34And all of a sudden, medical providers and professionals in her community start quitting and leaving their
04:43jobs.
04:44It's because of how Ascension does business.
04:47They do business in the wrong way.
04:49What happens eventually is the hospital that Ascension moves in and takes over, it's forced
04:56to shut down because the staff, nurses, and doctors, they're simply not being compensated
05:04properly and they have very little resources to work with.
05:08Service to patients with health problems also suffers and what they do is they eventually
05:14pull the plug and close the hospital.
05:17People are going in to the emergency departments and the Ascension hospitals seeking health treatment.
05:24They're being told they have no injuries despite the fact that they may do.
05:29They're being damaged by these medical opinions.
05:33Some of them don't make it and they die.
05:35I found out I was misdiagnosed in this way, got my records, I'll put them up here so we
05:41can look at them again.
05:42Went back to Ascension, went to these doctors, they won't speak to me.
05:46They said they bear no responsibility for their errors, alright, unresolved issues in
05:52my own case.
05:53I believe that there are many patients like myself who are not so fortunate to discover
05:59the truth of their injuries and challenge Ascension on the facts.
06:05I survived and I'm not happy about what happened to me.
06:09I called Ascension CEO Joseph Impecchike in 2021, never got a call back from the CEO and I'll
06:19play that call once again at the end of this video.
06:23You can hear some details about what happened to me.
06:27You've reached the Ascension System Office General Mailbox.
06:30After the tone, leave a detailed message and someone will respond to your call.
06:38I'm trying to reach CEO Joseph Impecchike and he can contact me at that number and I have
06:44a message that I would like to give to Ascension.
06:48Between 2018 and 2019 I was an emergency department patient at Ascension St. Vincent's East Hospital
06:55in Birmingham, Alabama.
06:57I believe I had broken my neck.
06:59I had an x-ray, two CT scans and later an MRI looked at by Ascension St. Vincent's doctors.
07:07Each time they had told me I had no injuries in this area, I knew their diagnosis was an error
07:13as my condition worsened.
07:15The area became infected and infested with parasites by summer 2019.
07:20I almost died.
07:22I obtained my medical records from your hospital along with the x-ray, CT, MRI imagery and discovered
07:28the truth of my injury.
07:29I had broken bone in the underside of my skull in the area of the condylar canal and occipital
07:35condyle.
07:35How the doctors could admit such a large and serious injury over multiple hospital visits
07:40is inexcusable.
07:41I believe some element of organized corruption may exist in this hospital.
07:46I have compiled over 10 hours of video documentation on what happened to me on my YouTube channel.
07:53The name of the channel is My Medical Nightmare.
07:57I believe I may have been a victim of patient dumping in the course of my seeking treatment
08:03which is a violation of EMTALA, E-M-T-A-L-A.
08:06When I told medical staff associated with Ascension about my discovery that I had been misdiagnosed
08:13repeatedly, I was personally attacked and my psychological state was challenged.
08:19This is reflected in medical records I obtained later.
08:22I could not obtain proper treatment or diagnosis for this injury because doctors and nurses that
08:31I would subsequently have encounters with would only entertain what the erroneous Ascension
08:36ER findings were.
08:38My mother, who was a nurse for 20 years, had the misfortune of working in an Ascension
08:44hospital when I questioned my MRR findings involving St. Vincent's Ambulatory Healthcare
08:50Network, LLC, and Dr. Michael Brandt Ruff, MD, radiologist, in March 2019.
08:57My mother, who was a nurse for 20 years and worked in the Ascension hospital, she was terminated
09:02from her job there around the same time.
09:05And so this phone call, I challenge the misdiagnosis of Ascension St. Vincent's East Hospital,
09:12Birmingham, Alabama, and I challenge the policy of this hospital.
09:17And Mr. Impechike, I think you need to look into this, please.
09:21Please listen to my message, look into what I'm saying, and you're free to contact me.
