Lawyer Deborah Pickens told me in a recorded August, 2023 phone call Christ Health was not liable for negligence damages I incurred in botched visits with their MD and NP in 2019. She then invoked federal protections by the United States government (that apparently excuses their negligence) AND invited me to consult a lawyer myself. She tells me outright that because of their status, any claim I had against them would need to be made against the U.S. Federal Government. She does not possess a medical license to know if I received appropriate care or not but failed to name one of their practices many doctors or nurses who drew such a conclusion following an investigation she claims was made into my issues.
5 months after speaking to their CEO Dr. Robert Record MD (& 2 months following being connected lawyer Deborah Pickens I am still awaiting a letter containing the results of an August, 2023 board meeting regarding several outstanding issues that arose during my 2 visits with their NP & MD in 2019.
A "He said she said" exchange of "who called who and when" consumed valuable time in both this call and the previous call with CEO Dr. Robert Record.
I had a broken skull injury I almost died from - 3 inch long insects & worms grew in the wound (SEE X-RAYS / MRI / CT IN VIDEOS). Pickens confirmed in a recorded telephone call that a letter containing the outcome of an investigation & hearing into my issues would arrive shortly following. As of October, 2023 I am still awaiting this letter. Pickens mentions an investigation into my issues resulted in a determination that I received proper care during my visit (I continue to assert I DID NOT RECEIVE PROPER CARE) and there is nothing more they can do to address my concerns.
run-down of issues:
-Received no measurable level of service in my visit.
-charged same amount ($110) to see a doctor (MD) as a nurse (NP).
-Christ Health is partners with Ascension / St. Vincent's Hospital, it looks like Christ Health either decided to ignore my injury or were ordered to ignore my injury to protect the reputations and million dollar salaries of the "professionals" involved.
-MD refused to give me a referral for mri, broken bone showed up in ct he claimed to have reviewed in detail (SEE RECORDS IN VIDEOS).
-Billed $50 for hemoglobin blood test and electrocardiogram I never received (services not rendered) (taking money from people who have nothing is obscene).
-Nurse wrote in her report she suspected "psych etiology" (WRONG - broken skull bone is visible in the images (SEE MRI - CT - XRAY)).
-Nurse agreed to give referral when I secured mri, I was given 3 avenues to pursue financial assistance all three lead to dead ends, I did not qualify. After I paid $500 CASH out of pocket for MRI the diagnostic center needed the referral I informed them to call Christ Health, they were put on hold 15 minutes before someone at Christ Health hung up the phone (they backed out on giving the referral?).
