Sometimes it feels overwhelming when people celebrate me for my advocacy work. The truth is, this was never the role I wanted for myself. I was content being a physician. I loved taking care of patients — that was my joy. Every visit, every phone call, every telemedicine appointment fed me. Patients thought I was helping them, but in reality, they were giving me life. When that was taken from me — after I spoke up about patient safety and was forced onto unwanted leave — it w

📰 Silenced Twice: How Media, Press Releases, and Social Platforms Protect Institutions Instead of Patients When you’re fighting a system that’s denying you care, benefits, or basic dignity, you think the hardest part will be the corporation itself. You imagine once the truth is out, the world will see. But what you don’t expect is to be silenced all over again  — by the very systems that are supposed to give you a voice. ⚖️ The Stories That Don’t Get Covered Mainstream journ

🔊 Because Silence Protects Systems, Not People People often ask me why I name names — why I call out institutions  and individuals  when I talk about retaliation, denial, and systemic harm. The answer is simple: Because if we keep everything vague, nothing changes. You can’t fix what you won’t name. You can’t hold accountable what stays hidden. And you can’t expect a culture of safety when everyone is afraid to say who caused the harm. Why I Name Names ⚖️ Accountability Is

🧠 The Crisis We Can No Longer Ignore Across Virginia—and across the country— patients are waiting months  to see neurologists and other specialists. In Hampton Roads, I saw this crisis up close. I watched as non-compete clauses —the very contracts meant to protect corporate interests—ended up blocking patients from care. When I tried to return to serve my community, I was told I couldn’t. Not because there wasn’t a need. Not because I wasn’t qualified. But because a hospital

⚕️ Portsmouth Still Needs Care Portsmouth continues to face a severe shortage of neurological care . Every week, patients are waiting— some in pain, some at risk of permanent disability—because there simply aren’t enough neurologists left in Hampton Roads. Part of me feels called to return. I want to help rebuild what’s been lost, to restore access for the people this system abandoned. But doing that would mean standing up once again to a billion-dollar health system  that te

🩺 It Was Supposed to Be the Dream I told you in the last video about my vision—about coming to Hampton Roads to bring neurological care to a community that needed it most. It should have been one of the happiest chapters of my career. But what I walked into wasn’t a clinic. I t was a crisis waiting to happen. Phone calls weren’t being answered. Portal messages went ignored. And when I started seeing follow-up patients, I discovered that prescriptions, referrals, and orders

💡 The Myth of the “System That Cares” I used to think it was simple: If you’re injured, you show your medical evidence. You tell the truth. And the system takes care of the rest. That’s the story they tell you. That’s the myth. 🧠 The Reality The truth is far darker. You get gaslit . You get buried in deception . You watch decision-makers reach outside the record just to justify a denial. You hear attorneys lie to your face, regulators look the other way, and judges issu

💔 I Didn’t Take This Job Because I Needed It I took it because I believed in the mission  — in helping patients, building access to care, and creating something that mattered. But somewhere along the way, the mission walked out the door…and retaliation walked in. When The Mission Walked Out The Door ⚕️ When Purpose Meets Power What happens when a system built to heal turns on the people who sustain it? When you raise your voice for safety, fairness, or equity — and the respo

When institutions retaliate against whistleblowers, they rely on people believing it’s an “isolated incident.” But the truth is this: Bon...
