Dear jackios,
My Stroke was on May 4, 2001! The only reason I actually SURVIVED, was that my Roommate, left for work at 7:00 a.m. and my Stroke occurred at 5:00 a.m., according to my Medical Records! I was found unconscious in a pool of blood next to my bed! I now have Epilepsy, Swallowing issues, Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome, etcetera!! I am participating in many Stroke Support Groups, will be starting an Aphasia Group, starting a part-time job, and Publishing my Book about Coming back from Stroke! The actual title of my book, is "Misunderstood and Resilient"! The book is written in memory of my Mother, who passed away 18 years ago yesterday 10/28/00! The book's title represents my ability to bounce back from being seen and treated as a"Psychiatric Patient "all of my life! I had a misdiagnosed Non-Verbal Learning Disability; which was always treated as "PSYCHOLOGICAL"; therefore I was on 19 medications, including the Birth Control Pill at the time of my Stroke! I was put on those 19 medications to "SHUT ME UP"!!!!! I was thrown out of 7 Physicians practices at one time, was blocked from Primary Care, Neuropsychological Care, Neurological Care, Sleep Physician, Epileptologist, Social Worker, and Neuropsychiatic Care! It frankly took me from 10/09/14 to 6/27/15, to receive ANY HEALTHCARE, PERIOD!!!!! I am honestly, writing my book, so NO-ONE ELSE, has to FEEL they are NOTHING and therefore DO NOT DESERVE APPROPRIATE, NECESSARY CARE, regardless of their DISABILITY!!!!! Physicians frankly take an Oath "FIRST DO NO HARM"! That ENTIRE TEAM of PHYSICIANS is STILL ALLOWED to PRACTICE MEDICINE, WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES from the BOARD of REGISTRATION in MASSACHUSETTS! What did I receive ,MY ENTIRE MEDICAL RECORDS PLASTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION or KNOWLEDGE, PERIOD!!!!! NOW YOU UNDERSTAND the REASON I am WRITING and PUBLISHING MY BOOK!!!!! My best friend was the only person, who figured out why no-one would take me as their PATIENT! I KNOW the DIFFERENCE, between actual "CARING PHYSICIANS versus PHYSICIANS who have ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME, ARE PREJUDICED, MEAN, JUDGMENTAL, and MOST IMPORTANT, NON-CARING PERIOD!!!!!
