One thought is to go to the press - they love stories to dig into.

Oooh, good one, Yadim. That's how I got this effing BS collection agency off my butt--- they had me confused with someone with a similar name in same area and I did everything to get them to *go away*, even called the companies that claimed I owed, etc., proved it in paper, blah blah blah---but when a local consumer advocate problem called? And published the article on my woes? Poof! Problem solved!

Also, CJ: Go you! Be heard! Don't stress out too much over it, but yes, be heard---because if we don't speak, they don't know, and if they don't know, there is no chance of change. I complained about the physiotherapist who made my pelvic damage worse---and while the PT place did zero, my GP no longer refers to them, etc.

Small things add up to Big in the end.

We're here for you:-)

Yeah, I agree that the press will give you that voice since the hospital it ignoring you. I'll get that will get their attention.

I agree that the press is a good avenue to explore if you're not getting any response from the hospital.

There may also be a patient advocate group in your area that could help. I don't know the details of your situation but they may be able to provide some ideas.

Another avenue is becoming an advocate for people with a similar experience. Writing articles, getting the word out there and providing connections to existing patient rights groups may be a productive and positive outlet.

Have you thought about volunteer advocacy work? Whether advocating for immigrants, mental health patients in crisis, homeless citizens or any of the entirely too many other marginalized people in our world, it can make a super good channel for that decision to never be a silent victim again.

Just a thought...
