Bravo.

I was severely medically abused and manipulated into signing up for shock treatment and put on heavy sendative despite allergic reactions to medicine. I’ve been physically hurt by Physical Therapists and ignored when I said anesthetic wasn’t working while awake during 6+ pulled teeth at once and a shoulder scope. I have medical PTSD because people would rather abuse a little girl than accept she has a genetic disorder she couldn’t control. So much of my life was stolen from me, but I’m ready to take it back. My HEDS diagnosis, which I had to figure out myself despite extremely obvious signs since childhood including a tethered spine and a spinal Syrnix with Atrophic scaring and hyper mobility and much more, was a freedom that helped me gain my confidante back. The UIHC hospitals abused me. I have it in records and have written admittance of malpractice.
