00:00For all the details on what happened to me regarding my injury, we're pushing 100 hours
00:04plus of video now. YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare. All right, so all the imagery that
00:12you see in my videos, MRI, CT, and x-rays that show that I had a very serious head trauma
00:20-based
00:21skull injury, I've had to take all these back around to other doctors and get second opinions
00:29In almost every case, other doctors were able to spot the injuries of the ones that were
00:37involved with Vulcan Imaging Associates, Birmingham Radiological Group, St. Vincent's Hospital
00:43in Birmingham, Alabama, UAB, and Ascension curiously missed. An injury I found out later may cost
00:52over $1 million to treat. I've had to be real careful on how I went about handling these
00:59pictures. I was in real bad physical shape. I'd try to go to new doctors. They'd call
01:05up these aforementioned negligent parties. I found that I was getting blacklisted. My future
01:12dealings with the new doctors and providers went cold quickly. Some information was exchanged.
01:20They were convinced they had to support the original analysis. All right, so this is the August 15th,
01:282019 MRI sequence that I had done at what is today known as UAB Medicine, St. Vincent's Trustville,
01:407201 Happy Hollow Road. There are a lot of problems that exist in this building. I talk about this in
01:48my
01:49other videos. All right, so this is an MRI axial view, AX cosmic anatomical area, cervical spine at a
01:58high level near the cranial vertebral junction, upper cervical vertebrae, including surrounding soft
02:05tissues of the neck. This is basically where your skull and head connect to the bones in your neck.
02:12So one subsequent finding I got on this, Dr. Ruff sat in a college classroom for close to 10 years
02:19to
02:19become a neuroradiological specialist, said there was no injury here. I got another opinion, artifact
02:26presence. A yellow circle highlights a large area on the patient's left side, right side of the image
02:34characterized by a significant signal distortion and black voids. This appearance is highly consistent
02:41with a susceptibility artifact. While the artifact partially shadows the left side of the spinal
02:47canal, the visible portion of the cord, its margins are obscured by the distortion. The image quality is
02:54significantly compromised in the left paravertebral region due to the aforementioned artifact.
02:59This makes it difficult to clearly visualize the nerve roots or soft tissue structures in that
03:06specific area. So the artifact or anomaly that's referred to, if you look at this exact location
03:13in the CT imagery I had done on 4-22-19 at St. Vincent's East Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama. In these
03:24pictures you can see a cracked bone, broken bone. I was a patient customer of a Vulcan Imaging Associates
03:32doctor, and I'll go into my own situation with what happened to me. I had an MRI of my head
03:39handled by Vulcan Imaging Associates and St. Vincent's in Trustville, now UAB, in 2019. In my own scan, I was
03:50told
03:50I had no injuries. I knew better because I was close to death. Almost died from this. Went and got
03:56those pictures.
03:56I'll put the pictures up here in this video. As you can see in this MRI, I've got about 6
04:02inches diameter
04:04infection inside my head. Vulcan Imaging Associates, Neuroradiological Specialist doctor, Michael Brandt Ruff,
04:13MD, went to school for 10 years to do his job. He wrote in my records and report, which you
04:20can see in
04:21this video also, I scanned these in. He said I had no injury present. And so this created a very
04:28uncomfortable situation that has yet to be resolved and is outstanding as of this recording, April 4th,
04:382025. Took these issues to basically all concerned. And they all refused to correct their error, admit
04:47their mistake, do a reread. Oh yeah. And they sent me a bill for this MRI and it was somewhere
04:55north of
04:56$600. Interestingly, Vulcan was working with St. Vincent's Ascension, who did the scan for me. On
05:04November 1st, 2024, Ascension sold this location and five other hospitals to University of Alabama at
05:12Birmingham. And this whole system has been rebranded UAB St. Vincent's. Why did Ascension sell and leave
05:20the area? My story is definitely something that the public needs to be aware of because the practices
05:26that were allowed to occur in the St. Vincent's hospitals and medical facilities were probably
05:33enough to shut this place down. Just a personal perspective, my injury and all the complications,
05:39my own issue is worth several million dollars.
