I Never Wanted a Problem — But If You Want One, No Problem

💥 When They Sent Lawyers Instead of Help
After a near workplace-violence incident left me with PTSD, I did what any responsible clinician would do —
I asked for therapy.
But instead of compassion, Bon Secours gave me litigators.
Instead of counseling, they sent corporate attorneys.
Instead of treatment, they sent threats.
So I took a page from 50 Cent:
“I never wanted a problem. But if you want a problem — no problem.”
🧠 How I Chose to Fight Back
They thought legal pressure would silence me.
It didn’t.
They thought denial would break me.
It didn’t.
They thought the system would swallow me whole.
It couldn’t.
Because when they weaponized the legal system against a physician in crisis, they created something they didn’t expect —
the Norma Rae of Neurology.
⚕️ Ms. Sharisse to My Patients. Dr. Stephenson to You.
Every lawsuit, every filing, every post isn’t about revenge — it’s about truth.
I’m still standing.
Still healing.
Still speaking for those who can’t.
Because silence protects systems, not people.
And if telling the truth makes me “a problem”?
Then consider me the problem they never saw coming.
