Highlighting a major trend you can see repeated in my experience with medical doctors: these multi-millionaires are making more and more money, while trying to do less and less actual work. I was informed on Friday afternoon Grandview Neurology (Birmingham, AL.) now Closes 2 Hours Earlier On Fridays.

Re: A bill I received in August, 2023 from ARC Management Group based out of Kennesaw, GA for a Grandview Neurology / Kyle Hudgens MD medical visit I wasted my time & money getting involved with in 2019. 4 years later, I have tried to contact them about my visit several times and calls are never returned. I am still waiting on proper service for my injury which I DID NOT receive in that visit. Hudgens should have been a MD of adequate skill to assess my condition but simply stated he could not explain my pain. He foolishly recommended I do range of motion exercises (I may have fractured the foramen magnum of my skull - SEE IMAGES). This MD also withheld medical records in a formal request (HIPAA) - I REQUESTED EVERYTHING - BUT what is listed as "Form 6/12" was not given to me.

Neurologist Kyle Hudgens of Grand View Neurology (Affinity Physician Services) (located off highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama). 6/12/19 visit following a referral in May from American Family Care (despite the radiologist there noting no abnormality, a cloudy oval several inches in diameter appeared in standard x-ray images near the basilar area of my skull / my left side). I paid $256 for this Grandview Neurology (Affinity Physician Services LLC) Kyle Hudgens M.D. visit.

The doctor engaged in too much irrelevant small talk. When I moved the conversation to my injury he acted offended. I showed him (printed and I gave him a copy of the discs (ie: my medical records)) X-Rays, CT scans and MRI showing the pebble size piece of bone that broke off the underside of my skull and was told no injuries or abnormalities were present. I showed him a CT picture from a just few days earlier showing a CSF Leak, infection and hole in the bottom of my skull (clearly visible head trauma 3 inches+ in diameter) in an MRI, CT and X-Ray image then I was told I had simply strained a neck muscle.

He advanced a psychological etiology for a purely physical problem I was carrying / wrote in my records I was exhibiting aberrant behavior (I had a chronic infection in my neck below this injury and was dying at this point). Was given, no medicine, no referral and a misdiagnosis.I illustrate a nagging problem I suffered throughout this ordeal, how I would take my records and images misdiagnosed by one group of doctors / hospitals onto unrelated doctors (for another opinion) and how the previous errors contaminated my hopes at obtaining correct identification and treatment of my injury. The images were useful, in that they correctly showed the issue (serious head trauma) but subsequent doctors would look at the images and asked "well what did THEY say it was?".

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.
00:09I have a small update regarding my situation as it applies to Grandview Neurology and neurologist
00:20Dr. Kyle Hudgens, MD.
00:22Their office is located off Highway 280 in Birmingham, Alabama.
00:27As of this date, when you look up Grandview Neurology on the Google search engine, it lists
00:33their operating hours, and on Friday, it shows they close at 2 p.m.
00:39In this call with Grandview Neurology, I am informed that the Friday closing time here has changed
00:48to 12 p.m.
00:50So yeah, this is evident of an increasingly disturbing trend, because you can listen to
00:56what happened to me in my visit, and what's going on in these places is the doctors are
01:03doing less and less work and making more and more money.
01:08So they're going home two hours earlier on Friday.
01:11I was on a waiting list that was four months long to see a neurologist with UAB Hospital,
01:18also in Birmingham, Alabama.
01:20Probably a lot of people out there who need the services of these doctors more than they
01:27need to go home early on Friday afternoon.
01:36Good afternoon, Grandview Neurology Service is answering service.
01:39This is Isaac, I'm out.
01:40This is the after-hour service, sir.
01:41We take cancellations for the office after hours.
01:44Everything else, I would have to ask a call back Monday, sir.
01:46Okay, you don't close in for two hours, right?
01:50No, sir.
01:51They close at 12 o'clock noon on Fridays.
01:53Oh, wow.
01:54I thought it was 2 o'clock.
01:55Wow.
01:55Okay, yeah, I have an issue with billing.
01:59Understood, sir.
02:00Unfortunately, though, if you need to speak to someone in billing, you would have to call
02:04them back Monday morning.
02:05They should be in by 6.30.
02:07Then just give the same number a call.
02:09They would be able to assist you, sir.
02:11All right, and I have an issue with service also.
02:14Is that the same?
02:16Okay.
02:16All right, thanks.
02:17Your information online, you should update.
02:21It reads that you close at 2 o'clock on Friday.
02:25Their normal hours are Monday through Thursday, 6.30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
02:29And on Fridays, they're only open from 6.30 a.m. to 12 noon.
02:33Okay.
02:34I understand your frustration, sir.
02:36However, I personally am just a secretary.
02:40All I do is take the cancellations.
02:41I don't have any access to that information.
02:43Otherwise, I'd be more than happy to choose myself or make an attempt.
02:46I would like to inform you of something, sir.
02:49The people that you work for at Grandview, the millionaire doctors, they are crooks and
02:54they are corrupt.
02:55And I'll call back on money and deal with my situation.
02:58Have a nice weekend.
02:59I was a patient, a customer of Kyle Hudgens, M.D., and he works for Grandview Neurology.
03:08And this is located off of Highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama.
03:15All right, so I was referred to Grandview Neurology from a visit I had at America Family Care.
03:25That's AFC Parkway East Roebuck, Birmingham, Alabama.
03:31And this was on May 30th, 2019.
03:37So I had a standard x-ray done during this visit, and it was reviewed as having no injury present.
03:48All right, so I got the original x-ray images, and I'll put them up here.
03:54And despite this diagnosis and pronouncement, yeah, and I was misdiagnosed because something
04:04that shows up in these pictures, this was by Anna Maria Echenique, M.D.D.A.B.R., for American
04:12Family Care.
04:14And in the x-ray images, you can see there is a translucent oval, and it shows up directly
04:24below and covering this area where I had pain that sent me around to many doctors and
04:35emergency room visits between 2018, 2019, going into 2020.
04:42In 2021, this wound is still not healed completely.
04:48All right, so despite American Family Care saying I had no injury present, they referred
04:57me to a neurologist.
04:58So funny how that works, right?
04:59Okay, so this visit, it was at Grandview Neurology directly next to Grandview Medical Center
05:07off Highway 280 Birmingham, 3686 Grandview Parkway, Suite 600.
05:15All right, so here's my bill from Kyle Hudgens, Affinity Physician Services, LLC.
05:25So there's another name this business operates under.
05:31Yeah, and if you want to see all the details about what happened to me regarding this injury,
05:37I've got over 10 hours video documentation with all my records, etc. scanned in, and it's
05:46on my YouTube channel, My Medical Nightmare.
05:48And please search the appropriate names here, and you'll come up with some information on
05:57this.
05:58I very slowly recovered from this wound in 2018, and as I've gained strength, I've been able
06:05to go back and chase after these loose ends.
06:11Well, I went around to many doctors, medical professionals around the Birmingham, Alabama
06:17area, paid a lot of money, and I received substandard service.
06:24And I believe I was a victim of patient dumping throughout this thing.
06:30I have no insurance, and I have no source of income, I have no job.
06:35So I was a cash pay patient, and I believe this singled me out for this kind of treatment.
06:47In the post-Obamacare world of American healthcare, I paid $256 to be seen by Grandview Neurology,
06:59Affinity Physician Services, LLC Neurologist, Kyle Hudgens, MD.
07:04The doctor engaged in too much irrelevant small talk.
07:07When I moved the conversation to my end, he acted offended.
07:12I showed him, printed, and I gave him copies of the discs, CD-ROMs, with my medical records
07:24and images, and that's x-ray, CT scans, and MRIs, showing the pebble-sized piece of bone
07:32that broke off the underside of my skull, and I was told no injuries or abnormalities were
07:39present.
07:39I showed him a CT picture from a few days earlier, showing a CSF leak, infection, hole
07:50in the bottom of my skull, clearly visible head trauma, 3 inches plus, in diameter, in
07:55an MRI, CT, and I showed him some x-rays as well.
08:01In the image, he asked, so yeah, Kyle Hudgens, he asked me, when I showed him these pictures,
08:10well, what did they say it was, alright, and so then I was told I had simply strained a
08:19neck muscle, and that was his diagnosis pronouncement that he wrote in his records, and he advanced
08:26a psychological etiology as well, for a purely physical problem I was carrying, and he wrote
08:33in my records I was exhibiting aberrant behavior, and I had a chronic infection in my neck below
08:39this injury, and basically I was dying at this point.
08:44My health was sliding into a serious decline.
08:50He did not write me any prescription for medicine, and he gave me no referral onto another doctor,
08:59and his opinion was incorrect as well.
09:05It was a misdiagnosis.
09:06His erroneous pronouncement adversely impacted future medical professionals' opinions of my
09:14injury.
09:15Last week, I did some videos on my exchange with Birmingham Radiological Group, and they
09:24had three radiologists who misdiagnosed my x-ray CT scans and an MRI scan that I had done
09:35at St. Vincent's East Hospital Ascension in American Health Imaging, and these radiologists
09:44were Angus Baird, MD, in American Health Imaging.
09:48Julian Patrick Druhan did the x-ray and two CT scans for St. Vincent's East Ascension, and
09:57Donald Shane Kelly, who did the CT scan, I had, with contrast, also at St. Vincent's East Hospital.
10:09So yeah, when you go around and you have these different medical scans, and you take the medical
10:16data and you move it on to the next doctor or hospital, yeah, and what's produced in these
10:25various medical encounters, this does not exist in a vacuum.
10:30But in my case, I got all my records, and I took this around with me to these new doctors
10:36that I would visit, all right?
10:39And yeah, in this video series, I will illustrate how the erroneous pronouncements and the misdiagnosis
10:48of the three radiologists, who are members of Birmingham Radiological Group, that I mentioned,
10:54that information, it later adversely impacted the medical opinions of otherwise unrelated doctors.
11:06So yeah, I took the St. Vincent's East Ascension imagery to Grandview Neurology in Kyle Hudgens.
11:19He took the pictures, and yeah, he looked at them, and I gave him a disc, and he left the
11:28room where the medical encounter took place.
11:32And he went and looked at these pictures, I believe, on a computer for about 10 minutes.
11:38And then he came back into the room.
11:40So please note here, Kyle Hudgens, when I showed him these pictures, he didn't say,
11:47I can't look at those pictures, I don't know what I'm looking at, etc.
11:51He took the pictures, and he proceeded to review them, all right?
11:56And this is very significant.
11:57Yeah, I asked him what did the pictures look like, and he was kind of cagey, kind of quiet
12:06about what his thoughts were.
12:09And then he comes back and he asked me, well, what did the doctors, what did the radiologists
12:17involved in those scans say the diagnosis was?
