Fired Patients Union

It's legal in the US to "fire", blacklist & otherwise deny patients care. Our goal is to end this abuse & highlight stories of impacted patients.
Daily reminder: it's legal in the US to fire patients, permanently barring them from medical care. Even at offices that have monopolized care for their issues where they live. If you or anyone you know has been "fired" please send them our way. We're determined to make this an…
Doctors can and will fire as a patient. It's legal in the US and a growing practice. You will be marginalized, discarded, erased if this happens. Even your friends will assume you did something wrong. This is the social credit system of our era that's only getting worse.
Not sure how to keep going after medical experiences this past week. Trying. Really trying.
Endlessly infuriating. This woman, a university professor, was not taken seriously for a year of increasingly dire symptoms. Doctors insisted it was "anxiety and depression". It was lung cancer. Lisa Smirl died at the age of 37:
I've literally had a top-of-his-field doc look at me in front of my kids and say, "I'll treat them but I will never, ever treat you. Do you understand that?" In an appointment for one of my kids. What had I done? I wrote a review when that doc's former colleague gaslit me and…
Why aren't healthcare providers held accountable anymore? Why are they allowed to just fire and blacklist patients? This is why:
Brain Death Survivor: Jennifer Hamann In 1985, Jennifer Hamann was prescribed an antibiotic that was incompatible with her epilepsy medication, throwing her into intractable seizures and leaving her comatose. I was able to speak with Jenny on the telephone and hear her story…
The rapidity with which people wrote off those suffering from post-Covid issues is just symptomatic of the whole. The gaslighting, the insistence those people must be either faking or psychosomatic... this is the heart of medical cruelty overall. Even doctors don't want to…
We hear a lot about chronic pain but we never hear much about why many doctors seem to want to cause it with exams and procedures, then blame our pain for the outcome. There is just no need to induce excruciating pain on exams to prove a patient really feels it? Is that…
For the record, I'm no longer an organ donor. Despite what my expired-due-to-disability DL states. Just going to post this as many places I can....
Anyone else doing everything humanly possible to revoke donor status right now? Patient firing and blacklisting already is passive euthanasia, imagine being, well, harvested on top of the rest.
Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying. The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to…
One lawyer told me I'd have been better off tangling with the mafia than the state academic medical center. Isn't that an odd thing to have said?
I can find no reason why it's legal for a state academic medical center, with massive ties to the state itself, to be blacklisting and firing patients without even giving valid reasons. Asking: is it legal for a state entity to essentially sentence some residents to this status…
The US Department of Health and Human Services under RFK Jr. is announcing a major initiative to overhaul the organ transplant system after an HRSA investigation uncovered significant problems: HRSA examined 351 cases where organ donation was authorized, but ultimately not…
