    Damaged my neck.
    Richard W.

    I had back problems. Had Alif and X-lif and then spinal fusion. I coded twice on the table once in ER ICU in front of my then wife. 7 weeks later a rod breaks where he didn't finish my construct. I have a revision and adjustment. Instead of being able to stand 12 to 6 on a clock now my head is forced down to 2 on a clock. If I try to stand up straight the 3 rods inside me actually stab me. My construct is pushing me forward into the letter C. Two screws stick out of my lower back and stab me like pistons when I walk. In the center between my shoulders a fused vertebrae and titanium now sticks out at the apex of my letter C deformity of my construct. I'm sure he is a fine Dr in his other fields but look at his credentials about spine surgery. I wish I had prior to. He ruined my back. The only solution is another surgery, that he wont do. Mayo Clinic would have to do it . They want to break my just fused spine back into a bunch of pieces and put it back together in a way I'm not leaning forward. Or take out all my hardware put it back in correctly. And spend another 18 months healing in pain. My full zipper scar almost didn't heal in a 4-6 inch spot. There were multiple office visits for new stiching. Get this.....A few days after my fusion I told them something was wrong. I couldn't do my exercises any more I asked for my discretional medication. (additional pain pills) they said youre drug seeking and discharged me early to a facility where I was to room with a quadriplegic. I also was responsible for taking my bandage off there for the first time. Something they were supposed to and the facility said they couldn't do because they didn't have that staff . It didn't matter I was not accepted because I had shingles. They released the zoster virus in my spine and then fused it there for eternity. I'm averaging a shingles out break and read face every 2 to 3 months. Out brakes last 3 to 6 weeks. Just pure fire burning sensation in the mud back. Because they didn't listen to me about the additional pain I lost rehab time and proper medical care because I had to go home since the facility said correctly I had a shingles out break and could not stay. Now they barely communicate I have weeks of questions with no response. I was told It went to a wrong folder give us 48 hours 4 days later no answers still. I'm going to see a hospital board member and to go to patient relations to figure out how to get my medical records. They won't tell me . Im now disabled which I was not before the surgeries. I started out with a 47 ° curve that took over 40 years to reach that. Post surgery was like 11 or 12°. Over the next 8 months as my construct started to deform me. Literally ripping through my flesh. I'm now back at 40° I lost my wife, my ability to work, mobility. I lost everything for 7 damn degrees and more pain than I started with. I would never recommend him for spinal surgery. So many better options when it comes to that. He did to much to fast parts incorrectly. Put my in hypovolemic shock and my organs we're shutting down left and right. Then proceededed to kill and revived me 2 of the three times I died. I'm switching to Baptist. 1st X-RAY not MRI X-RAY the figure out a spacer was no longer located between L 2&3 (could be wrong on the location) this caused the broken back sensation I told them about. I had 6 ER visits for gun shot level pops in my back and they have no clue. Took Baptist 1 X-ray. The sudden loss of height causes my upper bad to stab it's self on my three rods. After the stabbing I started bending forward and it's like pushing a knife in hard to hurt someone. I have that feeling 24 hours a day now. I had been off pain meds for well over a year after the final failed surgery. I had to return to pain management this past Monday. I was treated so poorly that 2 nurse practitioners that worked with my then wife each took two days off and sat in front of my door almost 12 hours a day for 4 days. I'm going to stop because there is so much more but I hope you get the point Absolutely do not have fusion unless you just can't move without 8-9 pain. See multiple Drs in different practices. One Dr told me I should not have even had illiac screws but some Sj2a whatever that have a little hinge action to them to stop things like a giant screw breaking at your hip. Finally compare specific spine education etc and you will see what's missing. Do your diligence before you make a decision to use UF for any spine issues.

    Here and ready.

    Oh my god Geralda was so awesome! If there was an award she would be number one in the entire world!! If I ever have to give blood she's the only person I want to go to!!! I mean seriously... I did not even feel this tiniest prick. And she was Flash Fast.... I snapped a pic fast I didn't give her a chance to get away or say no but she was nice about it. And the young lady who checked me and was super sweet too..

    I visited Amelia Urgent Care (510 Airport Center Dr, Jacksonville) on 9/1/25 while very sick. They…read moretested me for COVID and strep, both came back negative. The provider prescribed antibiotics and specifically suggested I might need to miss work Wednesday and Thursday, advising me to rest and return if I wasn't improving. By Wednesday I was still very ill, so I called to ask for a work excuse note. Shockingly, I was told they could not provide one since it had been "two days" since my visit. When I asked if I could come in for reevaluation to get a note, they said yes--then immediately called me back to say that even if I came in for another sick visit, they still would not issue a note. I was left with no choice but to go back to work, feeling terrible and contagious. The next day, my daughter spiked a 102 fever. On Friday, I took both kids to their pediatrician (NOT this clinic) where they both tested positive for COVID. That means I was almost certainly positive at Amelia, despite their negative test. At the time, I had already suspected the swab wasn't done properly since the staff looked hesitant to get close enough for a proper sample. Turns out, I was right. Because of their poor testing and refusal to provide a simple work excuse--something their own provider suggested--I ended up working nearly three days while sick and unknowingly spreading COVID to others. This was not only negligent for me and my family, but also unsafe for the community. I will not be returning here and cannot recommend this clinic. If you're sick, I strongly suggest going elsewhere for care that actually protects patients and the public.

    I've not had a reason to visit Baptist Beaches for a personal reason. I've been there to visit a…read morefriend and to take a family member there for their own injuries. While visiting my friend 5-ish years ago things didn't sit quite right with me. She was in the hospital for nearly a month with an excruciatingly painful kidney infection that just wouldn't heal quickly nor easily. To me, that seemed odd... but I'm not a doctor. She didn't seem to be getting what she needed to heal properly. Upon being discharged she sought other doctors for prolonged care. About two years ago, my mom fell and dislocated her shoulder. I took her to the emergency room at Baptist Beaches. Knowing she was in pain, she wasn't actually seen for any type of care (just checked in and places in a room for several hours before even meeting the ER doctor. While waiting she wasn't given anything for her pain, either.... Not even some ice to place on the shoulder. Once the doctor came him he was VERY short with her and spoke rather rudely, almost as if to childishly mock her because she, too, was being short and raising her voice. However, she was the one in pain! He even threatened to 'walk out of the room and not come back' after she told him that she didn't want morphine. She related it to another family member's death and it was an unpleasant trigger for her. He behaved quite immaturely as I waited for him to stomp his feet as he left the room. I literally had to be a referee for the two of them. To this day, my mom STILL cannot lift her arm much higher than where her elbow is. However, that is in part because she didn't go to physical therapy after her injury. A couple of months ago, I again had to take my mother to the ER immediately following a visit with her general practitioner. It was discovered that she had a blood lot in her leg. To this day, we don't know how big it is, if it's dissipated, where she's bleeding from, or exactly how serious it was. We DO know that this visit was much more palatable for her 5 day stay. The nurses were more polite and orderly in their interactions with her. They seemed to be knowledgeable and very thorough with their responsibilities and communications. In both cases, I'm grateful to have had an emergency room so close to her home!

    To no avail, after several attempts contacting the patient advocate and 3rd fl NM Terri and leaving…read moremessages, I felt I had no choice but to document the experience I had with a nurse from Weaver 3. Her lying and lack of care needs to be addressed. Upon admission to the hospital I stated that I am a "hard stick"which means it's very difficult to get blood from me and an IV in my arm. I stated that most times an ultrasound is needed or what they now use conveniently a "vein finder." I read from many patients that we have the right to request another nurse if one nurse fails the first or second time. When an ultrasound or vein finder is used, it's very easy to find a vein for me and a place for the IV to go so that medication is not just going into my arm, which is what happened in both arms, they swelled up. One arm was so swollen because they tried four times and was moving the needle around trying to find the vein. After telling them I wanted them to use the machine they did not listen and continued to poke me, even the assistant nurse manager. After being unsuccessful, I go and I read my notes in my file and the nurse lied and said that I denied having my blood withdrawn, which isn't the truth. After they poked me four times I then said can you please get the ultrasound or vein finder. That nurse did not come back for four hours and what did she have in hand, the vein finder and the result, she got blood. But she went into my notes and lied, and said that I refused to have my blood taken. Earlier that morning I had spoken with the nurse manager regarding the difficulty withdrawing blood from my arm and how I normally need an ultrasound and she seemed to have acknowledged and understood the issue, but yet hours later, I ran into this problem with two nurses. When I confronted the nurse about her notes, in retaliation she withheld my high blood pressure medication and tried to blame the CNA by saying that the CNA never told her my blood pressure was high. That was an outright lie because I heard the CNA tell her over the phone that my blood pressure was high. She said she was on a break and never came in to check on me after. She did not address the high blood pressure until four hours later after her break. My last five readings had been 169 and above, and nobody addressed it. In her notes she said I refused to have my blood taken and said that the machine was broken. I said I wasn't aware that my blood pressure was high and that I thought maybe the machine might be broken because it was getting really tight when it took my pressure and since nobody was addressing it, I didn't think there was anything wrong. I knew I felt tired and had shortness of breath and a headache. But that isn't abnormal for me, I often get headaches, even though this one was a tension headache, which I normally don't get. The shortness of breath I thought was my asthma, and I thought I was tired because they wake you up every few hours to take your blood pressure. The bottom line is the nurse didn't address it and in the notes she makes it seem like it's my fault and that I was being uncooperative. I was never an uncooperative patient. If you read everybody else's notes, I was never a problem. One nurse did mention that I require an ultrasound or vein Finder, which is just for confirmation that I allow them to stick me. I allowed them to move that needle all over the place and hurt me and bruise my arm up. I allowed them to put an IV in even though everything was going into the arm and not my Vein. I allowed them to do all those things. I have a pressure ulcer on my buttocks that they never took care of and then they discharged me with a bloody pressure ulcer with no medication, no bandages, no instructions. I feel like this qualifies as neglect on the nurses part and I plan on pursuing a conversation with my lawyer. This nurse needs to be reprimanded and honestly replaced because this is not the nurse's job to, neglect a patient. I don't believe this will happen because I believe that the nurses all stick together and the nurse manager is exactly the same way. She will defend the worst nurse and not the patient. After the nurse denied me my blood pressure medication I didn't feel safe there anymore. She has shown total lack of care for a patient.
