Outstanding Issues Unaddressed: My Call To Christ Health CEO Robert Record. The Christ Health Center (Birmingham, Alabama). I was referred here by Saint Vincent's East Hospital (Ascension) after an X-Ray I had done was said to be "normal". Doctors Terry Daniel Smith ("T. Daniel Smith") did the encounter with me in May, 2019. Attempts to obtain a referral for an MRI to reveal the injury (I needed one that day, immediately) were not facilitated and he wanted to go a different route with the treatment. I feel I was not treated as a human being, my opinions were ignored, he levied an ultimatum, and so I walked out. I was charged for medical procedures not performed on me (see records and bills). Later I was able to secure an MRI on my own and was told by Nurse Anna Musgraves from a subsequent visit at Christ Health to call their office for the promised referral. American Health Imaging did this a few days later after I paid them $500 cash and they were put on hold for 15 minutes before Christ Health hung up the phone on their end. Would not give me a referral! Dr. Beverly A. Vonder Pool, MD whom I did not interact with signed off on Smith's records. These 3 had an exchange not recorded and conferred with Saint Vincent's East Hospital, Birmingham. I later found evidence to support evidence I was patient dumped by these ER doctors (an EMTALA violation). Anna Musgraves and Terry Daniel Smith mention language that they may have believed my injury was psyche etiology in nature (because Saint Vincent's radiologists misdiagnosed me other doctors would not second guess the original findings). There may have been efforts cover up the truth my injury because of my ability to pay or produce insurance. I was charged $107 for the nurses visit and $109 for the MD visit.<br /><br />In Christ Health Center I observed other patients with no income or insurance who had been referred from ER visits. I also noted this facility was being used to train recently graduated fresh medical talent from local schools and universities. I believe Beverly Vonder Pool MD was possibly used as a "fixer" and talent cultivator in her Christ Health Center post. <br /><br />I believe I may have been "patient dumped" (a violation of EMTALA) in the course of my seeking treatment for my injury by Saint Vincent's Hospital doctors, Birmingham, Alabama (Ascension) and misdiagnoses were used to circumvent this law. This pronouncement made it virtually impossible to get an accurate diagnosis elsewhere. I was also disabled and could not claim disability. My psychological state was routinely challenged because I claimed the doctors had missed the main injury. My concerns were unfairly dismissed and ignored.
