One of the toughest lessons I have had to tackle is the importance of being cautious as a patient in the medical system. It is all too common to trust professionals blindly, such as doctors, physical therapists, nurses, and other so-called professionals. Unfortunately, I personally experienced being treated as just a number in the system, where my well-being was overshadowed by financial considerations. It is disheartening to know that some of these individuals behave differently when they think no one is watching, or when they lack accountability for their actions, even if those actions have life long consequences for their patient, families & society as a whole. One day they will answer.
The purpose of this site is to educate & empower one another exposing the good, bad & the ugly naive patients experience with little or no plan of care at the hands of inexperienced physical therapists & interns/surgeons who often practice on patients without prior dialogue or consent. Then the patients are often ignored, minimized, mistreated & dismissed. Please share your story here where you will be heard & valued. (484) 482-3292 myhipjourney@gmail.com
