À propos de cet audio
After serving on the frontlines throughout the entire COVID pandemic, I suffered a catastrophic spinal injury while helping a patient in respiratory distress. Despite six medical specialists confirming my L5-S1 disc collapse is work-related and requires urgent surgery, I've been waiting 19 months for workers' compensation approval—with no end in sight.
This episode documents my harrowing journey: constant debilitating pain, financial devastation including bankruptcy and $100,000+ in lost wages, and multiple hospitalizations for suicidal thoughts stemming directly from my untreated injury. My surgeons now warn that my spine may begin to auto-fuse any day, permanently eliminating my chance for the life-changing surgery I desperately need.
Join me as I share how someone who dedicated their career to saving others now can't get a single day of surgery after lifting tens of thousands of patients without proper equipment. Learn how you can help by visiting helpread.com to advocate for me with just one click.
