Open video message to AFC Urgent Care CEO Bruce Irwin. Attempts to reach him by phone several months ago were unsuccessful.

At the end of this video you will hear my recorded telephone call to AFC (American Family Care) Urgent Care Cahaba Village (3000 Cahaba Village Pl STE 110, Birmingham, AL 35243). I am told by a receptionist an AL. licensed MD Christopher Blake Thomas I was trying to contact was "in clinic" (with a patient) and could not talk to me. I am then transferred to office manager "Sadler" (a pseudonym). This was actually Dr. Blake Thomas using a false name. He proceeds to tell me he heard the receptionist say the MD was in clinic. This was a lie, I was speaking to him. I found many staff in AFC use pseudonyms (nicknames) and this video shows this practice is already being abused. All the real first and last names of medical clinic staff need to be posted up front in lobby and freely given to patients and customers upon request.

I recently discovered a medical clinic office manager I had spoken with in May, 2022 at AFC (American Family Care) Urgent Care Cahaba Village (3000 Cahaba Village Pl STE 110, Birmingham, AL 35243), using the nickname "Sadler" is actually State Of Alabama licensed medical doctor, Christopher Blake Thomas MD. In my recorded calls in this video you will hear he refused to give me his first and last name when asked.

I cite a television interview (https://www.wvtm13.com/article/mountain-brook-doctor-sees-big-surge-in-covid-patients-at-clinic/37165650) with WVTM NBC 13 & play my telephone recordings back to back, the voices are identical.

I called this clinic trying to speak with Dr. Blake Thomas MD, whose name appears on medical records from a misdiagnosed X-Ray I had in 2019 but was only allowed to speak to this "office manager". I was told no injuries appeared there but almost died a few months later when 6 inches diameter of infection set into my jaw and head (visible in subsequent MRI). I obtained my records from this visit & a several inch diameter anomaly is visible in the same area where broken skull bone and infection appears in other images. AFC would not help me get this error corrected, I paid $175 for the visit.

I find these practices to be unprofessional in a business sense and medically unethical.

I found AFC American Family Care Urgent Care staff uses Pseudonyms / nicknames / single names in their clinics. "Sadler" / "Saddler" who claimed to be the office manager of Cahaba Village clinic refused to give me his first and last name (red flag / scam alert). The websites of this clinic do not mention who their staff and doctors are. Birmingham, AL.

After 1 month of trying to call American Family Care (AFC) urgent care in Birmingham, Alabama, I am told by office manager "Sadler" of Cahaba Village (near Mountain Brook), Birmingham, Alabama that there is nothing they will do to correct a misdiagnosed 2019 X-Ray I had taken.
Transcript
00:00All right, so to see everything that happened to me regarding my injury, please see my YouTube channel, My Medical
00:08Nightmare.
00:09This is an open video message to Dr. Bruce Irwin, MD. He's the CEO of American Family Care Urgent Care.
00:22I was a patient in one of the AFC clinics around Birmingham, Alabama, and I had some issues.
00:33And I just wanted to let you know, sir, that your company is headed for catastrophe unless you change your
00:41operating practices.
00:43Specifically, I discovered that clinic staff are using false names, nicknames, pseudonyms, fake names when dealing with the public.
00:57Doctors, that is state of Alabama licensed medical practitioners, are also using fake names in your clinics.
01:09And furthermore, this practice is now also being abused.
01:15This is totally unacceptable if you're doing business in the United States of America, in the state of Alabama.
01:22And this is medically unethical.
01:25Back in May 2022, I tried to contact a doctor whose name appears on the top of my medical records
01:37that I got from a misdiagnosed x-ray.
01:42Now, Dr. Blake Thomas, MD, he was supposed to be supervising the nurse that facilitated this x-ray for me.
01:57In my x-ray, it was further analyzed by radiologist, Dr. Anna Maria Echnik, outsourced through Xperity.
02:10I was told I had no injuries appear in this x-ray.
02:14I'll put the images up here, and you can see that this was not the case.
02:19I have a translucent oval, about three inches in diameter, that appears here.
02:26And in other MRI and CT that I've had, ancillary to this, there is evidence of broken bone in the
02:36underside of my skull and infection.
02:39This doctor's name appears on his state-issued Alabama medical license as Christopher Blake Thomas.
02:52Expiration date, 12-31-2022.
02:55And yeah, after you listen to this call, if you are charged with extending this doctor's medical license or granting
03:05him a new license,
03:06please bear in mind what I'm about to present in this video.
03:11I found out that this doctor was physically based, not at the AFC Urgent Care Clinic, where I had my
03:22x-ray done.
03:24But his practice at the time was located on the other side of Birmingham, Alabama, USA,
03:31at 3000 Cahaba Village, PlaySuite 110, Birmingham, Alabama, 35243.
03:40This is also technically the city of Mountain Brook, Alabama.
03:46Following my introduction, I will play both calls that I had with a gentleman who identified himself simply by the
03:56single name of Sadler.
03:58And that's spelled S-A-D-L-E-R.
04:01And he identified himself as the office manager of the American Family Care, AFC Urgent Care.
04:10And when I asked this office manager for his first and last name, he refused to give it to me.
04:18Also, you'll hear in my other calls with AFC,
04:22almost all of the staff that deals with the public in American Family Care around Birmingham, Alabama,
04:28they are using pseudonyms, fake names, and nicknames.
04:33They go by single names.
04:35They don't use the first and last name.
04:38And this is unprofessional in business.
04:43This is medically unethical.
04:47Alright, so I have a major update in this situation.
04:50I did some research, and I found out the true identity of the office manager, Sadler, of the Cahaba Village
05:03AFC Urgent Care.
05:06The person that I was talking to the entire time, this was Dr. Christopher Blake Thomas, MD.
05:14Alright, so here I'll show proof that the office manager and state of Alabama licensed physician, Dr. Christopher Blake Thomas,
05:27are one and the same individual.
05:30And you can verify this for yourself by going to the website of Birmingham, Alabama, television station, WVTM, channel 13.
05:48And I'll include the link in here.
05:50They did an interview with Dr. Blake Thomas, July 29, 2021.
06:00And there's video and audio of this doctor.
06:03And listen and watch this, and then go listen to my recorded phone calls.
06:09And it's the exact same voice.
06:12And this report was done by anchor Sarah Killian.
06:17And that's why he's encouraging patients with these symptoms, whether they're vaccinated or not, to get tested.
06:23It's not the time to be chalking this up to your typical, I get a sinus infection this time of
06:27year, or an allergy flare-up.
06:29If you have any of those symptoms, you really should get tested, because you don't want to find out after
06:32the fact that you were positive.
06:35Now, Dr. Thomas...
06:37Yes, sir. Who am I speaking with?
06:41My name is Sadler. I'm the office manager here.
06:44Okay.
06:46Yes, sir. I was waiting to talk to Dr. Blake Thomas, MD.
06:51Okay.
06:52I believe the lady up front was talking with you, and I heard her say...
06:56It's not the time to be chalking this up to your typical, I get a sinus infection this time of
07:01year, or an allergy flare-up.
07:02If you have any of those symptoms, you really should get tested, because you don't want to find out after
07:05the fact that you were positive.
07:08It's totally unacceptable that this doctor is allowed to operate in this location, not reveal his true name to people
07:19that he is speaking with, patients that had been under his care, such as myself.
07:23And, yeah, another thing this doctor is doing, he's posing under different assumed identities, false identities.
07:34He is a doctor.
07:35He's not an office manager.
07:38People out here on the street, we don't have time to play these games with these millionaire doctors, all right?
07:45Up there on Highway 280, Mountain Brook, you think you got standards and you're protected by the illusion of wealth.
07:55As you'll see in many of my videos, what I've discovered trying to pursue recourse in a major case of
08:04medical misdiagnosis is that doctors and nurses out there, they're so used to telling people anything and getting away with
08:15it and getting by with it that they just keep on because they think they're not going to get caught.
08:21So, in this clip, I call this American Family Care Urgent Care, attempting to speak to this doctor, and I
08:33am told by the receptionist that he is in clinic, which means that he was with a patient, and it
08:41turns out this was a lie.
08:42I'm then transferred to this office manager, who is in reality the doctor that I was trying to contact, hiding
08:53behind a false identity.
08:56And he also says that he heard the receptionist say that the doctor was in clinic, and that is true,
09:05and this is also a lie.
09:06So, what you got here is evidence of a state of Alabama licensed medical doctor lying to people on the
09:17telephone, and staff working for this clinic also participating in a falsehood.
09:28And any patient who is interested in seeking medical treatment at this Cahaba Village AMC Urgent Care, you need to
09:39listen very carefully to everything that I say in this video.
09:43And please go see my other videos on my experience dealing with this place.
09:49They can be viewed at my YouTube channel, My Medical Nightmare.
09:53Yeah, if you go listen to my calls in my videos with the Cahaba Village American Family Care, AFC Urgent
10:02Care, Birmingham, Alabama, this is near Mountain Brook, Dr. Christopher Blake Thomas.
10:10I called this place every day this week, alright, so that's five days in a row.
10:15And yeah, you can go up to My Medical Nightmare and listen to these.
10:20And you can hear the progression from the first call to the most recent call.
10:27And yeah, on Monday when I called them, yeah, the receptionist, pretty cheery, very positive, receptive.
10:36Yeah, it's going right across to Whole Foods.
10:39Okay, yeah.
10:40Yeah, let me...
10:41I'm not sure if it's possible that the person up here got busy didn't tell him.
10:45If you'll give me a moment, I'll go back there and talk to him.
10:48I don't know if he's back with a patient or not.
10:51And then as you go through the week, yeah, you can hear the tone change.
10:58He's currently with patients.
10:59Can he return your call?
11:01But I can...
11:02What was the reason?
11:03What do you need?
11:04Alright, let me go.
11:05Let me go and see if I can get to him.
11:07Yeah, I understand you.
11:08I feel you.
11:08Um, I doubt that's the reason, sir, but let me go ahead and speak to him.
11:14And then finally on Friday when I called this place I was hung up on.
11:19Um, may I ask his calling?
11:25I was told they could do nothing to help me with this misdiagnosed x-ray from 2019.
11:31And it should have taken this doctor, you know, a couple of minutes to confirm this anomaly in this x
11:38-ray.
