00:00For all the details on what happened to me regarding my injury, we're pushing 100 hours plus of video now.
00:07YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare.
00:09Alright, so my issues with Dr. Perry L. Savage Sr. in Ortho, Alabama, Spine and Sports.
00:17September 14th, 2019, visit location 1801 Gadsden, Highway Birmingham, Alabama, 35235.
00:26Just a few feet from the Trustful City Limits line.
00:32$300 cash visit.
00:35Appointment at 3 p.m.
00:37I sat in the waiting room two hours until I saw him.
00:41Walked out of the place near 6 p.m.
00:44Their waiting area does not offer patient-customer privacy or security.
00:50A crude half-wall Chinese screen curtain separates patients from the sign-in area where four or more patients at
01:01one time give their personal details.
01:03Customers can be heard giving personal health information, which is a concern of HIPAA, H-I-P-A-A.
01:10In the general waiting area adjacent to this, in the visit with Savage, I presented images of my own head
01:19and neck,
01:20clearly showing the issues, which included several-inch diameter head trauma.
01:26Curiously not acknowledged by this 50-year surgeon and professional who graduated from the University of Alabama School of Medicine
01:35in 1968,
01:37probably has seen almost every type of injury that is humanly possible.
01:44So one thing Savage told me was that the medical imagery that I showed him to assess my injury was
01:52not good enough.
01:54He wrote this in my chart.
01:56You can see it here.
01:57He says I just showed him a few slides of CT copied on paper.
02:02This is not accurate.
02:04I had a DVD-ROM disc that Dr. Savage put into his computer in the examination room.
02:12We both looked through imagery.
02:15I pointed to the same area in these pictures where anomalies have been noted.
02:21And again, he told me with a straight face that those were not injuries.
02:26My pictures looked normal.
02:28And I'll show some new findings as of April 2026.
02:34Interestingly, the same CT scans that I shared with him that he said weren't good enough have been newly assessed
02:42to be a high-resolution bone algorithm slice appropriate for evaluating osseous bone integrity.
02:51I had a chance to put this imagery in front of some new experts and compare this new information to
03:00the few lines of text Savage wrote in my chart.
03:06All right.
03:06So the area we're looking at, an axial view of the craniovertebral junction, specifically focusing on the base of the
03:15skull in the first cervical vertebrae, C1, the atlas.
03:18Primary findings.
03:20Within the highlighted red region, patient's left side image right, there's a significant disruption in the cortical continuity of the
03:29C1 lateral mass and posterior arch.
03:34This appearance may suggest a common unit fracture where the bone breaks into several fragments.
03:41The bone in this area appears irregular and displaced when compared to the contralateral side that's the patient's right.
03:50These findings could reflect an acute traumatic injury to the atlas, such as a Jefferson-type burst fracture or a
04:00complex lateral mass fracture.
04:02In continuing examination details comparison, when comparing the highlighted region to the opposite side of the image, the normal ring
04:12-like structure of the C1 vertebrae is lost.
04:15The contralateral patient's right side shows a more continuous and expected cortical outline.
04:23Anatomical deviation.
04:24The fragments in the red box appear to be shifted, which could indicate instability at the craniovertebral junction.
04:33The findings are highly consistent with an acute fracture of the C1 vertebrae, atlas, on the patient's left side.
04:43Because injuries to the upper cervical spine carry a high risk of instability and potential neurological complications,
04:52this requires immediate evaluation by a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine specialist and usually necessitates stabilization, such as a cervical collar,
05:06until fully cleared.
05:08I mentioned in the other video where, after challenging the Birmingham Radiological Group, Ascension, and UAB doctors,
05:16I was retaliated against in the future healthcare providers that I went to, when they looked into my case,
05:25some protest was made from one of the earlier providers, and all of a sudden I found doors were being
05:33closed to me
05:35in my quest for diagnosis and treatment of this injury, which I was repeatedly told did not exist.
05:42To OrthoAlabama and Dr. Perry Savage, they apparently had a working relationship or partnership
05:51with the Birmingham Radiological Group doctors, UAB, St. Vincent's, and Ascension.
05:58In the chart note where Savage claims he cannot explain my pain, but refers me on to their partners,
06:06University of Alabama, Birmingham, UAB.
06:08I did another video where OrthoAlabama and their doctor Malampati were the subject of a civil lawsuit
06:18in which Birmingham Radiological Group, Dr. Julian Patrick Druhan, was blamed for contributing to a patient's death.
06:29Days before, that individual had some medical imagery done
06:34and was accused of not spotting deep vein thrombosis, which may have been a causative factor in that patient's death.
06:43Physician Assistant Ben Jeter, PAC, sat in during this exam.
06:49He entered the room and never introduced himself.
06:52Dr. Savage also never introduced him to me as well, and this is not professional.
06:59When Savage was not looking at my CT, X-ray, and MRI images, Jeter thumbed through my files.
07:07Mr. Jeter silently observed,
07:11When I left, this man told me someone in their office would call me about a UAB neurosurgery referral in
07:20a few days' time.
07:22Why was I referred to a neurologist if the doctor claimed I had no injury?
07:28This phone call never took place.
07:31After one week, I had to call OrthoAlabama myself and found the appointment had indeed been made.
07:40Again, I was not informed.
07:42And what's more, I was put on a three-month waiting list for the referral to UAB.
07:48Dr. Mina Lubos, I was called by UAB and told I would have to wait an additional month
07:56because they were moving to Gardendale.
07:59At this point, I told UAB to forget it, and I canceled.
08:03I tried to contact OrthoAlabama and Dr. Savage later.
08:08When I found out the true extent of my injuries,
08:12I told an office representative I did not believe I received fair service for my money.
08:20I invited Dr. Savage to call me and discuss this.
08:24A telephone call was recorded.
08:25You can hear it in my videos.
08:28The OrthoAlabama receptionists play the usual out-of-office games,
08:34despite the fact I got a call from the office manager just a few minutes before.
08:39That call that I was promised then and there was not returned either.
08:43I was referred to Dr. Savage in OrthoAlabama from a previous visit at AFC American Family Care,
08:52$175 cash, located off of Parkway East near Roebuck.
08:59American Family Care would not back me up on getting this write-off of a medical exam corrected.
09:06I later learned AFC is corrupt and not a reputable practice,
09:10and anyone who takes business from them is immediately suspect.
