A 2017 review posted by a former employee of Birmingham Radiological Group (Alabama) mentions management communicated little to the staff, indicating a closed compartmentalized culture. My own experience as a misdiagnosed patient (3 of their doctors (Julian Patrick Druhan MD, Donald Shane Kelly MD, Angus Baird) missed broken bone in the underside of my skull in 4 separate scans). When I confronted BRG with evidence of his doctors misdiagnosing me, I was mocked and led into a circular, dead end argument with word games.

Birmingham Radiological Group (Alabama) appointed Shannon Sykes (who holds no medical qualifications or certifications) through which to issue a rebuttal to my Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaint as a consumer. The group's title appears on the top of a bill for one of these medical scans in 2019. 3 member doctors of this group (Julian Patrick Druhan MD, Angus Baird MD and Donald Shane Kelly MD), radiologists, misdiagnosed medical image scans (X-Rays, CT Scans & MRI scans I had done between 2018-2019 at Saint Vincent's East Hospital (Ascension) & American Health Imaging). I went into the emergency room and to doctors believing I had broken my neck or skull. The doctors took these scans and typed up in official records I had no injury. I obtained the images and written records later and found I had broken the basilar area of my skull.


In this video I share my rejection of their explanation to my complaint. BRG compliance officer Shannon Sykes replied on their behalf in this exchange. She has no medical qualifications. According to internet sources, BRG makes around 10 million dollars revenue annually. In an organization of this size, it should be common practice that any such statement be passed through legal counsel and signed off on by a medical doctor, but why does such a person not represent them here?


Why do these doctors go by different names on the BRG website than appear on their state issued Alabama medical licenses or in medical records?

I never made any claim that I could interpret x-ray, CT scans, and MRIs without any training and can do so better than trained radiologists. I simply am asserting that as a patient, I believe my skull was broken, the BRG doctors said no injury was present in the images. I went and got my records including the images and exactly in the area where I have had the pain that has been so bad I have been to many Emergency Room visits there appears BROKEN BONE, contrary to the radiologists' pronouncements.


Please see my Youtube Channel, MY MEDICAL NIGHTMARE where I have compiled over 10 hours video documentation on my injury and treatment.

00:00If you're interested in the current state of affairs in the very corrupt medical industry in Birmingham, Alabama, yes, this
00:13needs immediate outside intervention.
00:16The authorities in the state of Alabama, in the cities, in the counties, they are not doing anything about this
00:25stuff.
00:27Corruption is the norm.
00:30I will direct you to this website.
00:33It's called Indeed.
00:36Now, what you can do here is, if you have worked at a company, any company, basically, any place of
00:48employment, you can leave a review about your experience there.
00:53And this also goes for medical practices, hospitals, doctors' offices, etc.
00:58I'll share a trick also about using the Indeed website.
01:03Once you type in the business or employer that you want to see the reviews on, they will display several.
01:16And then, after like six or seven reviews, you'll see that there may be hundreds or thousands of other reviews
01:26that you can't read because the body of the text has been blurred out.
01:35They want you to leave your review as an employee of the company to get access to read the other
01:43reviews.
01:43Well, there is a way around this, and I'll tell you how to do this.
01:47What you do is, what you do is, the headlines to the reviews, you can read those.
01:56And you right-click your mouse button over the headline, open that as a new page or a new tab
02:06in your web browser, and you can read that review.
02:10And yeah, it's a bit tedious, but using this technique, you can read every single review that's left on the
02:20Indeed website without having to enter in any type of information.
02:25Okay, we go to Indeed and start typing in some of the names of these medical practices and hospitals, etc.,
02:37and you will very quickly see it's not just me as a patient relating these negative experiences.
02:46The actual people who work for these schools also have some stories to tell, and they can do so here
02:55more or less anonymously.
03:00If you're thinking about going to a medical practice in Birmingham, Alabama, go to Indeed and read the experiences of
03:10people who have worked in these places first.
03:13And some of these reviews are jaw-dropping.
03:19All right, Birmingham Radiological Group.
03:22Yes, I had dealings with this group.
03:25Three of their doctors misread four separate scans that I had done.
03:32CT with contrast.
03:35This was misread by Donald Shane Kelly.
03:39I had an x-ray.
03:41And two.
03:43CT scans without contrast.
03:47These were looked at and misread by Dr. Julian Patrick Druhan, MD.
03:54These were taken at the Ascension of St. Vincent's East Hospital.
04:00Also for American Health Imaging, I had an MRI scan done.
04:09Examine and misread by Dr. Angus Baird, MD.
04:13All three of these doctors are members of Birmingham Radiological Group.
04:18Yes, I called Birmingham Radiological Group and spoke to their CEO, Doyle Stewart.
04:25The phone call was recorded.
04:27You can go listen to that call.
04:30I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint against Birmingham Radiological Group.
04:39And you can see how they responded.
04:42Doyle Stewart was not willing to help me by having his doctors account for their errors.
04:49All right.
04:50So this is something that everybody should be aware of.
04:53Doctors for this group, you might want to think twice about being a member of this place.
04:58Because now, we'll put the pictures up here again.
05:02And what's going to happen for the rest of my life is we're going to debate this thing out in
05:07public.
05:08Okay?
05:10The pictures speak for themselves.
05:13Any doctor worth their salt will easily be able to see the injuries in my pictures.
05:19I had broken the underside of my skull and I had almost died.
05:22So we're talking about major negligence.
05:27Authorities and folks that should be holding these doctors to account shirking their duties.
05:37All right?
05:38You can see in the Better Business Bureau complaint issued by Birmingham Radiological Group.
05:46They advanced a representative who had no medical credentials.
05:51All right?
05:53Shannon Sykes.
05:54And their response is mostly a feeble attempt at mocking a patient who almost died.
06:05Injuries neglected by doctors on their payroll.
06:09This is unacceptable.
06:12All right.
06:13So this complaint via an employee of Birmingham Radiological Group on E&D.
06:19The headline reads,
06:22No Communication Management.
06:26This person was a technology support specialist.
06:31Claims to be a former employee.
06:34This review is from April 10th, 2017.
06:39And I quote,
06:40A typical day at work at this place was dry and slow with no interaction within the department.
06:48I learned the very basics of the job in order to be able to troubleshoot basic issues.
06:54My manager was not a leader and preferred to work by himself on all issues within the company.
07:02The culture within the workplace was relaxed but promoted unhealthy stress due to the lack of communication and terrible management
07:12practices.
07:13The hardest part of the job was not being informed about the operations of the company and not knowing what
07:22was expected of me.
07:24Yeah, what you can see here, there is assertions of compartmentalization.
07:33And this is a breeding ground for corruption.
