00:00All right, heads up YouTube, the AFC American Family Care Urgent Care Clinic located in Cahaba Village near Mountain Brook.
00:11This is technically in Birmingham, Alabama.
00:15They have recently posted on July 10, 2023, a job opening for a physician in this location.
00:28Now, previously, this has been the practice of Dr. Christopher Blake Thomas, EMD.
00:41And I was a patient under Dr. Blake Thomas' care in 2019.
00:49To see everything that happened to me regarding my experience with this doctor and this medical practice,
00:56you can see my documentation at YouTube channel, My Medical Nightmare.
01:04Back in May 2022, I tried to contact this doctor whose name appeared on the top of medical records that
01:18I requested from American Family Care.
01:22And this was in regards to a misdiagnosed x-ray of my skull that I had done in 2019.
01:35Blake Thomas, MD's name, appears here as supervising the nurse that facilitated the x-ray in the AFC Clinic.
01:45This is Kimberly Kelley.
01:47And he should have also been checking over the work of radiologist Dr. Anna Maria Echnik, MDDABR,
01:58which the x-ray was outsourced to through Xperity.
02:03You call the phone number under this doctor's name on the radiologist report.
02:11It leads to Xperity.
02:12This doctor and subsequently the nurse told me I had no injuries appear in this x-ray.
02:22I'll put the actual images in this video so you can see the truth regarding this matter.
02:30I have around a 3-inch in diameter translucent oval here.
02:36This is visible in a standard x-ray.
02:39No contrast was used in this scan.
02:42Subsequently, I discovered in further MRI and CT that I had broken the underside of my skull.
02:50And the translucent oval that you can see in the AFC and Xperity x-ray, this shows up as infection
02:59surrounding the main wound.
03:01I tried to contact this doctor to get this x-ray scan looked at again because I paid $175 for
03:11this visit and I got a misdiagnosis here.
03:15This is not helpful if you're a medical patient seeking treatment with doctors and nurses, in this case licensed in
03:29the state of Alabama.
03:30I found that this doctor was located at the American Family Care Clinic in Cava Village off Highway 280 in
03:40Birmingham.
03:41I tried to call this doctor's office.
03:45It was then that I found out by talking to the receptionist.
03:50Every individual that worked in this location that I spoke with, they used a nickname, a false name, or a
04:03pseudonym.
04:03In trying to reach Dr. Blake Thomas, MD, I was put in touch with an individual who identified himself as
04:15the office manager of this clinic.
04:18And he went by the name Sadler.
04:21S-A-D-D-L-E-R.
04:23I later found out after my call with this office manager that I was, in fact, speaking with the state
04:35of Alabama licensed medical doctor, Christopher Blake Thomas, who I was trying to reach in the first place.
04:43So he gave a false name.
04:45And I found this out very simply.
04:48You can hear my recorded calls with this individual.
04:53And Dr. Blake Thomas gave a television interview with Birmingham, Alabama, TV station WVTM, Channel 13.
05:03Listen to the two voices, and they are identical.
05:07I believe that a medical doctor identifying himself under a pseudonym is against the law in Alabama.
05:16And possibly other jurisdictions as well.
05:20This is a type of fraud.
05:23I'm not very happy about my experience dealing with this individual.
05:29Yeah, in trying to get that x-ray and the misdiagnosis looked at again, the office manager, again, a false
05:39identity that this doctor was using.
05:41He told me that he could do nothing to help me fix this situation.
05:49No refund of my $175.
05:53He wouldn't go to the medical doctor or Xperity and have this situation looked at or reversed.
06:02He told me on the phone, you can hear this recorded, there's nothing he was going to be able to
06:06do to help me fix this situation.
06:09And this is real bad news because that injury that I had, I almost died for him in 2019.
06:15This is totally unacceptable as a medical patient.
06:19AFC as well, I contacted.
06:22They would not help me with this situation.
06:24I talked to Xperity.
06:26They would not help me fix this situation or correct this.
06:30And basically, I was ripped off as a customer and a medical patient.
06:35I went to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and filed complaints in this situation.
06:42They would do nothing to help me with their oversight.
06:47Totally useless.
06:48They're lazy.
06:49If you're a doctor out there and you're interested in taking this job, please bear in mind my story.
06:56Bear in mind that you may have to use a fake name when you talk to the public and patients.
07:02And this is unacceptable.
07:04No doctor worth their salt should work for this place.
07:06No person seeking medical treatment should go to a place with doctors who are using fake names.
07:12I mean, this is totally ridiculous.
07:162023.
07:162023.
07:17United States of America and this stuff's going on.
07:21People have got to stand up to this nonsense.
