They only committed medical malpractice on me 3 times in a 10 month time period, which I guess by TMH standards is good?
Here are the details of what they dragged me through:
1. I went to urgent care with a crazy headache, it was so severe and when it persisted we went to the self proclaimed professionals. They took brain scans, no spinal tap, and diagnosed me with meningitis. (I now know it was a brain hemorrhage.)
2. As the pain changed, they changed their diagnosis to migraines.

Thankfully, I decided to go out of state for university, a decision I made without knowing it was LIFE OR DEATH. I chose life when I chose a school within helicopter distance of an actually decent hospital. At school, I had an even more severe headache, then lifeflighted to a good hospital and was given my diagnosis. A month later, I had ANOTHER hemorrhage, lifeflighted to the good hospital again and received an emergency surgery that cured me. Unfortunately, the severity of the final hemorrhage caused me to have to drop out of school and recover at my family home near the bad hospital (The Medical malpractice Hospital).
3. I then resumed care under TMH. Good: neuro rehab and Dr. Oliver.
Bad: This careless care... The medical drama I had at the good hospital resulted in me now being seizure risk so I needed a neurologist to manage that. The neurologist I saw at TMH has you write down all the meds you re on, but don t be fooled it s all for show. He put me on an anti seizure medication, but when I got blood work to monitor the levels, there was no trace of the medicine (poison) in my blood. My neurologist called me and doubled my dosage of this poison. Thankfully I had a run in with a good medical professional (a CVS pharmacist) who told me that my other medication counteracts my antisiezure medication. WHICH IS WHY IT DIDN T SHOW UP IN MY BLOOD-WORK. I know it s a revelationary concept, but I like doctors who tell me these things.

Recap: if it s simple enough that you can diagnose yourself they will be just fine, but if you have something serious PLEASE send off any tests done to a trustworthy hospital.
