Medical Error InterviewsLaura Johnson: Grievous medical incompetence kills her father...and how many more?When Laura Johnson’s father Bill, a healthy and active senior, went for a simple medical procedure, Laura’s gut instincts told her to miss work and go with him to keep him safe.
But Bill told her he had a friend accompanying him and assured Laura he would be fine because “how bad could they mess this up”.
Tragically, Laura’s instincts were right. Her father was not safe in that hospital under their care. And the doctor responsible for Bill’s care, is the daughter of a doctor who is imprisoned for medical fraud. The me...2021-06-1429 min
Medical Error InterviewsAshanti Daniel, RN: Are nurses immune to doctors’ gaslighting? Not if you’re a black womanAshanti Daniel is one of those people who knew their career destiny as a child - and then made it come to fruition. As a nurse, Ashanti had the inside view of how the health care system operates - so when she got very sick and was hospitalized multiple times, she thought that being a health care worker would afford her legitimacy in the eyes of her medical peers.
But Ashanti quickly discovered that being a black woman with ‘normal’ results from routine medical tests, trumped years of working as a health care professional.
While medical...2021-05-1752 min

An inquest into medical negligenceIn the early hours of the 28th of July 2016, Colette McCulloch was hit and killed by a bus. Eighteen hours earlier Colette had walked out of the specialist care facility for autistic adults where she was being treated.
Throughout Colette’s short life, her parents Andy and Amanda, sought out medical professionals to try to explain and ease their younger daughter’s extraordinary mind. Since Colette’s death Andy and Amanda have been fighting various medical and legal authorities to uncover the failings in her care and treatment.

Michelle was a healthy and happy career woman when she gave birth - but the doctor, who had given Michelle an episiotomy, failed to sew her back up after the baby was delivered. This failure would have devastating consequences on every aspect of Michelle’s life.
In an effort to ‘fix’ their mistake, doctors performed a surgery to implant plastic mesh into Michelle’s a...2021-04-1940 min

Medical Error InterviewsMarc - FQID: Antibiotic fluoroquinolones can cause toxicity and severely injury people: FluoroQuinolone Induced DisabilityLike the vast majority of people, you have probably taken an antibiotic at some point in your life. And it probably helped you. However, a class of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones can cause permanent and severe damage -- this is known as fluoroquinolone toxicity, or, in the US, fluoroquinolone induced disability - FQID. This is a global health care problem that few know about -- or are warned about by their doctor. Why is that?

Marcus describes how he got sick with flu like symptoms...but they never went away. Marcus was thrown into a world he did not even know existed, a world where very sick people are disbelieved and often belittled by physicians.

Medical Error InterviewsAlice Urbino: scam ‘lightning process’ causes internalized gaslighting - beware of charlatansWhen Alice Urbino was a young teenager she got the flu and never got better. Her mother - desperate for her daughter to recover - paid for what she thought was a legitimate treatment -- even though young Alice could plainly see the ‘lightning process’ was based on pseudoscience.
Nevertheless, Alice was pressured to partake in a cult like atmosphere with absurd rituals that amounted to brain washing. Alice was made to believe that she chose to be sick, and that even expressing feelings of nausea or fatigue were signs that she wasn’t trying hard enough and th...2021-03-0847 min
Medical Error InterviewsRyan Clark: Keep your hair, ruin your life -- how the hair growth medication Propecia broke his body: Post Finasteride SyndromeRyan Clark had it all. Successful career. Great relationships. Healthy body.
When Ryan noticed a bit of hair loss, like many men, he took a common medication known as Propecia to promote hair growth.
Unbeknownst to Ryan, Propecia can cause post-finasteride syndrome - causing sexual, neurological, physical and cognitive adverse reactions - it is a condition with no known cure and few, if any, effective treatments.
In the ensuing years, Ryan’s body started to break down and unfamiliar and confusing symptoms manifested: anxiety, trouble sleeping, erectile dysfunction and memory problems.

Medical Error InterviewsDr Simon Breidert: How Post Finasteride Syndrome changed his view of his specialty: psychosomatic medicineWhen Dr Simon Breidert tried to discontinue use of the hair growth medication Finasteride, he experienced a myriad of very disturbing and disabling symptoms in multiple body systems.
But the medical system doesn’t recognize Post Finasteride Syndrome and has labeled any one who says they experience those symptoms as hysterical. Dr Breidert was now confronted by his own profession’s deeply embedded medical bias. Simon was experiencing horrible physical symptoms, but the health care system had already decided his diagnosis is psychosomatic. Talk about major cognitive dissonance. Simon had to reconcile years of medical education that psyc...2021-02-0153 min
Medical Error InterviewsShirley Barker, RN: Witnessing a police sheriff’s death by physician -- and telling the truthIt is an open secret that hospitals’ standard of practice is to deny, diminish or cover up their medical errors. When they occur, there is often immense pressure from hospital administrators on employees to conform to a narrative that protects the hospital. The employee may feel that their job and career are in jeopardy, and they may feel peer pressure to ‘not rock the boat’ and protect their health care colleagues.
Nurse Shirley Barker found herself in exactly that pressure cooker when a police sheriff who was shot multiple times in a high profile shoot out ended up und...2021-01-2540 min

Medical Error InterviewsDana Parish: Co-author of Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune PandemicMedicine is so messed up. It has been fatally bitten by its own dogma.
When singer-songwriter Dana Parish suddenly got very sick, she quickly had a correct diagnosis of Lyme disease and was given the standard antibiotic treatment. But Dana never fully recovered and eventually ended up in heart failure.
Dana saw many top doctors in New York and they all missed the ongoing underlying infection that would lead to Dana’s heart failure. None of these physicians could wrap their heads around the idea that Dana had been under treated for Lyme disease and it...2021-01-181h 02
Medical Error InterviewsDenise Crawley: To err is human: A nurse shares her medical errors and how the system respondedWhen nurse Denise Crawley connected with me about sharing her experiences with her own medical errors in the workplace, I thought it was a great opportunity to hear from a health care worker from their side and perspective of medical errors.
As Denise states, there is a big problem with how the health care system responds to medical error, especially how systemic contributors to medical error are rarely addressed, and how the response tends to focus on individual blame. This in turn fosters a medical culture of cover up, denial and fear.

This of course will come as no surprise to any female that has a disease the medical system does not readily recognize. If that disease doesn’t have a biomarker yet, doctors will often attribute women’s physical symptoms as psychological in origin. This is known as medical gaslighting and its origins can be traced back to the cocaine fueled thinking of Sigmund Freud and beyond.

Yet the Swedish medical system thinks Holger has a psychiatric disorder and has threatened to have him forcibly committed to an institution against his wishes.
If the medical system succeeds, it will probably kill Holger.

Medical Error InterviewsSarah Colero: “Owe my life to medical cannabis” -- life with brain surgeries, migraines and opioidsMedical knowledge is embryonic. They are still discovering new body parts. Sometimes medicine doesn’t break new ground, but has to be dragged into the light.
A case in point is cannabis. The therapeutic value of cannabis has been known for millennia, yet modern medicine vilified the medication, pathologized cannabis users, while the legal system criminalized cannabis patients.
Now we see the global movement making great headway toward decriminalizing and medicalizing cannabis. And as it is with most changes to the medical system, it did not come from within, but from pressure from outsiders, namely pat...2020-12-2148 min

Medical Error InterviewsJessica Pin: My labia minora removed without my consent - the pathologization of female sexualityOne of the good things about interviewing people about their medical error experiences is the feel good stories about making the health system safer, and making meaning out of trauma, a phenomenon known as post traumatic growth.
In this interview with Jessica Pin, she shares the insights she’s learned about the gross deficiencies in the medical system where it intentionally maintains blind spots about female anatomy and female sexuality. A medical system where surgeons are performing procedures on female genitalia with shocking little understanding of the female body.

Medical Error InterviewsJeanne McArdle: My thyroid grew back - “impossible” says the doctor - and other tales of medical gaslightingWhen you’ve been sick since a child - as Jeanne McArdle has been - you gain a preternatural insight into the world of medicine and medical care. And if you have a disease unknown or misunderstood by medicine, you get the advantage of being an ‘outsider’ while inside the system.
Of course, this cuts both ways: having a medically marginalized disease essentially guarantees medical harm, neglect, gaslighting and distrust of doctors.

Liz’s health care experience is littered with story after story of incredible incompetence, false accusations and patient blaming.

Medical Error InterviewsDaria Oller: Physical Therapist with Long Covid - what she was taught was wrongWhen Daria Oller got sick with mild Covid symptoms in mid March, she assumed she’d be back to full health in a week or two.
Now over 7 months later, Daria -- a physical therapist, athletic trainer, runner and dancer -- is still beset with physical symptoms, especially a delayed and dysfunctional response to exercise, known as post exertional malaise - the hallmark symptom of another post viral disease called myalgic encephalomyelitis, or MEcfs.
Daria is also dealing with cognitive symptoms that makes reading and retaining material a challenge -- this is known as brain fog...2020-11-1636 min

Medical Error InterviewsMaryAnne Martin-Smith: Given death rites 3 times - how simple surgery went so wrongUnless you’ve experienced it yourself, it is hard to fathom the cruelty and abuse by some doctors and nurses on sick, vulnerable and dying people. It is hard to reconcile that the ultimate helping professions can have so many people who exhibit truly sadistic and sociopathic behaviour.
To understand how ubiquitous medical abuse and neglect is in our health care systems we only have to look at the recent example in the news of the death of Joyce Echaquan who livestreamed abuse by nurses in the days before she died.
Unfortunately MaryAnne Martin-Smith knows wh...2020-11-0959 min

Medical Error InterviewsMelinda Maxwell: Craniocervical instability -- decades of suffering before diagnosisWhat is the connection between a ‘weak bladder’ in childhood and spine surgery in adulthood?
For Melinda Maxwell, a diagnosis of craniocervical instability (or CCI) provided clarity of that connection after decades of doctors dismissing her symptoms or giving a misdiagnosis.
Craniocervical instability, as its name implies, is essentially a mechanical failure where the head joins the spine causing it to be unstable -- and it can cause a wide range of mysterious and disabling symptoms that are hard for doctors - who mostly work in silos - to connect.
For Melinda, the CCI...2020-11-0259 min

Medical Error InterviewsMelissa Shiff: Her life intersects with wife murdering surgeon, medical error and human rightsWhen Melissa Shiff had surgery on a cyst in her back, the surgeon nicked her spinal fluid canal causing it to leak spinal fluid. This medical error would lead to more errors and medical harm for Melissa.
As Melissa wrote to me after the interview: “I get internal tremors, non epileptic seizures, slurred speech, sometimes I lose the ability to move my limbs and need to be carried and of course can barely stand or walk.”
The health system proved useless and essentially abandoned Melissa to suffer without medical care.
As a result of he...2020-10-121h 06The Fantasy MillionairesThe Fantasy Millionaires - Episode 10Scott and Mike bring you up to date through the first quarter of the 2020 fantasy football season and help you manage your team for a deep run in the playoffs. 2020-10-061h 01

Terri’s insights into the machinations of the medical system come from both her professional career and her role as a mother.
When Terri’s child experienced pain, it was by and large dismissed by doctors as if children were from a different planet where the species didn’t experience pain. By ignoring what Terri’s son was reporting, doctors contributed to a worse and more painful - and needless - outcome f...2020-10-051h 01

Medical Error InterviewsMiranda Levy: Psychiatric Safari - A journalist’s experience with psychiatry and their medicationsWhen journalist Miranda Levy couldn’t sleep due to a relationship upheaval, she sought support from her doctor and fell down a multi year rabbit hole into the wacky world of psychiatric medicine.
Miranda lost herself in a health care system that has little understanding of the powerful psychiatric drugs they dispense like candy. The health care system also has little motivation to acknowledge the torturous effects that can come from withdrawal from these drugs.
Miranda doesn’t mince her words about her experiences with the medical system and the physical addiction it created - wher...2020-09-2838 minThe Fantasy MillionairesThe Fantasy Millionaires - Episode 6Mike and Scott breakdown rounds 12-14 to help you identify the players you want on your PPR redraft team in 2020.

Medical Error InterviewsCasey Steidle: How is this happening? MRI Gadolinium toxicity - life consuming, life ruiningHave you had an MRI? Was it an MRI ‘with contrast’?
That’s when the MRI technician injects you with a chemical called gadolinium so they can read the MRI easier. They probably told you to drink a lot of water to flush it out of your system, and that it would be gone from your body in 24 hours.
What they probably didn’t tell you is that some people’s bodies don’t flush out the gadolinium and it makes them chronically sick and disabled.
And they probably didn’t tell you that the Food a...2020-09-071h 04The Fantasy MillionairesThe Fantasy Millionaires - Episode 5Mike and Scott breakdown rounds 9-11 to help you identify the players you want on your PPR redraft team in 2020.

Medical Error InterviewsMackenzie Doyle: 20 years to get correct diagnosis - mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)Mack Doyle has been sickly since birth -- and along the way medicine gave her numerous diagnoses to explain her symptoms, none of which turned out to be correct.
When Mack’s allergy skin tests showed her positive to over 140 foods, grasses, and pollen, the doctor didn’t believe it. “Impossible” he said.
He told Mack she wasn’t allergic to anything, she just had irritable bowel syndrome. But Mack had ‘been there, done’ that with an IBS misdiagnosis before and was adamant she had allergies.
Turns out the patient was right -- she just needed...2020-08-1747 min

When Charis Hill’s pain skyrocketed and health tanked and no doctor’s were providing a correct diagnosis, Charis reached out to their estranged father, expecting to get advice on living with a disability. What Charis didn’t expect was for their father to diagnose Charis with ankylosing spondylitis, or AS, an inflammato...2020-08-1047 min
Medical Error InterviewsRachel Winters (part 2): Accutane Injury -- Doubly Deceived by Medicine and FamilyAs we learned in part 1 of Rachel’s interview, she comes from a family of physicians, and when she was seriously injured by Accutane, a medication many teens and young adults take for acne, Rachel found herself at odds with her family’s complete buy-in to the corporate pharmaceutical narrative and their wholesale acceptance of Big Pharma’s so-called research.
All the doctors denied Accutane injured Rachel and diagnosed her as psychosomatic. Rachel’s family also didn’t believe her, calling into question her mental stability.
Not surprisingly Rachel felt doubly deceived by...2020-07-271h 07

While the medical system has long known, but rarely acknowledged, that some people don’t recover from viral infections, and instead continue to experience a wide range of neurological symptoms, the COVID pandemic - and patient advocates like Chandra - are forcing health care systems to ad...2020-07-1342 min

What you don’t expect, is that they will kill your loved one.
But that’s what happened when college student Alex Smick injured his back when he fell off his skateboard and then was prescribed a succession of opioid painkillers.

Medical Error InterviewsAmber Wysocki: Pain much worse than childbirth: Sphincter of Oddi DysfunctionAs a child, Amber had a very rare illness that made the small blood vessels in her skin, joints, intestines, and kidneys inflamed and bleed. Amber was so ill her mother thought Amber was dying.
But Amber survived, got married and had children and thrived...until 3 days after having her gallbladder removed, when she experienced horrendous pain, far worse than the pain of childbirth.
Painkillers did little to stop the upper abdominal pain Amber was experiencing, and when her blood tests came back normal, doctors suggested Amber was faking it to get pain medication.
