🛑 I tried to be vulnerable. I posted my pain. My surgeries. My reality. And the internet mocked me. This world is so quick to laugh at what it doesn’t understand. But I’m not staying silent. 🧠 Chronic illness is real. 💔 Gaslighting is abuse. And we’re DONE being ignored.

This is medical neglect. @CNN @nytimes @NBCNews @FoxNews @washingtonpost @scdhec @HHSGov @TheJusticeDept.

🚨 I sent a formal complaint to @MUSChealth @MUSCneurosurg @MUSCnews @MUSC_CEO @MUSC_CHAIR. Visible skull swelling. 10/10 pain. Numb hands. Oral thrush. No imaging. No care plan. No response.

📍Mouth coated in thrush.📍10/10 pain.📍Numb hands.📍Abnormal labs: smudge cells, high WBCs.📍No new imaging. No plan. They told me to “manage pain better.” Then ignored me. #HospitalNeglect #PatientJustice #TetheredCord.

trusted MUSC with my brain and spine. I ended up in worse condition—twice. Now I’m speaking out. Here’s what happened. 🧵.#MedicalNegligence #MUSCFail #SpinalSurgery.

🚨 I sent a formal statement of medical neglect at MUSC to 70+ emails: hospital leadership, CMS, DOJ, DHEC, and national media. Visible skull swelling. 10/10 pain. Abnormal labs. No imaging. No plan. Still ignored. #MedicalNegligence #MUSCFail #PatientRights #HospitalNeglect

Tagging for visibility:.@CNN @NBCNews @60Minutes @ProPublica @kevinmd @nytimes.@Live5News @postandcourier @ABCNews4.Let’s talk about what happens when major hospitals silence patients. 🧵 Full story above. #MedicalNegligence #MUSC.

If you’ve experienced medical neglect, don’t stay silent. We must hold institutions accountable — especially when they ignore suffering patients. @MUSChealth — I am demanding a real investigation, and I’m not alone. Please share. #TetheredLives #PatientAdvocacy #DisabilityJustice.

These are the diagnostics MUSC has refused to order — despite all red flags:.🧠 PET scan.🧬 CSF cytology.💉 Muscle biopsy.🧪 Autoimmune/oncology panels.🩻 Repeat upright MRI.Even as symptoms spread head-to-toe. #DiagnosticNegligence #MedicalFailure.

I’m not just a patient. I’m a father of 3. I’m a business owner. I’m an advocate for those with tethered cord syndrome. And I’m being medically abandoned. How many others has this happened to at @MUSChealth?.#TetheredLives #MUSCNegligence #PatientsBeforeProfits.

Dr. Patel literally told me last stay:. “I don’t know why you were referred to me.”.Hours later, his PA told me I was being discharged with the same failed meds. Now I’m back in the hospital… being given those same meds again. #MedicalInjustice.

Instead of investigating WHY my health is declining, I’m told to “manage pain.”.NO effort to find the cause. Just blame the patient. This culture — led by Dr. Sunil Patel’s team — has left me worse after BOTH surgeries. And now they act like it’s not their issue. #Accountability.

I’ve contacted:.📞 MUSC Complaint Dept (twice – zero follow-up).📞 MUSC President’s Office (“We don’t log calls”).📞 Oncology (they said I’d be seen inpatient – never happened).📞 My insurance (UMR) – THEY called the hospital. No response. #SystemicFailure.

When I asked about hematology or oncology (due to abnormal smears, anemia, and paraneoplastic signs), the attending said:. “We have no record of that.”.But I had already sent 24 MyChart messages + emails. I even called MUSC Advocacy and got no response. #Neglect.

On June 12, I was transferred to MUSC after a Novant CT scan showed:.✅ Worsening skull swelling.✅ Gas/fluid into my thecal sac.✅ Hematologic abnormalities.MUSC refused to review it. Instead, they gave me the SAME oral meds that already failed. #HealthcareFailure.

🔥 10/10 pain.💥 Blood pressure over 180.🦴 Bone pain in pelvis, skull, and thighs.🧠 Cognitive decline.🗣 Throat spasms and seizures.🦵 Numbness, tingling in arms and legs.Still: NO imaging. NO IV meds. NO answers. This is neglect. #PatientRights.

📍April 8: Spinal cord detethering.📍May 21: Occiput-to-C2 fusion.After both surgeries, my health declined. My skull swells. My bones burn. I have fluid/gas leaks into my thecal sac. Yet @MUSChealth dismissed this as “pain management” — no testing. #MedicalGaslighting.

🚨 I’m sharing this to prevent others from suffering. I’ve been admitted TWICE to @MUSChealth after two spinal surgeries. Both times I experienced pain, dismissal, and inaction. This is a thread about medical neglect, systemic failure, and what broken care really looks like. 🧵.

One of the best episodes of any show ever. Paul Giamatti delivered one of the most beautiful performances ever in an episode that will pull your heart out.
