  2024 was an absolute nightmare for me at Tufts medical Center in Boston! They told me and argued with me that I needed neck surgery because of an injury I had a couple years ago before that! They said if you don't get this surgery you will be disabled for life! I said news flash to them I'm already disabled! They argued and said well this will make it better! So I consented to the surgery even though I didn't want to do this! So what happened? They did the first surgery on me damaged one of my vocal cords during the surgery! Where I couldn't sing talk and I kept coughing about 3 weeks after the surgery when I tried to sing! That's when I knew something was wrong! I didn't know what was causing it? One of the neck surgeries, there was two of them, I had long hair and they stapled it to my surgery down my back, where I could hardly move my neck at all! And how I learned, that's something was wrong and I believed it had to do with the surgery that I had, I went back for a checkup found out on video they had damaged one of my vocal cords this is why I couldn't talk I can barely sing and I was coughing non-stop on stage! Because of that that's the reason I double checked! They weren't going to tell me they damaged my vocal cord I had to find out the hard way through another doctor that they messed up the surgery! When I saw it on x-ray I was horrified! I didn't know what to do at that point? So during the checkup they also found out that the stitches they put in my neck burst open! I was feeling liquid and running down my back didn't know exactly what was going on! I also saw the back of my neck and I look like something out of the Frankenstein experiment! So they had to redo my neck again! This one was even more painful and I can barely move my neck! And even today I can barely move my neck! This is February 2026! Somebody said I could have sued them for what they did to me! That may be? I just wanted my own voice back! So I begin to work on my own voice therapy at home I didn't trust them anymore! Slowly but surely my voice started coming back with self intensive voice therapy! Things I learned during that time how to start getting my voice back! 2024 was a horrible year for me! That was may and June! Then Thanksgiving 2024 I got seriously injured trying to feed people on the streets! Didn't even know it! I went home to fix the Thanksgiving dinner and I couldn't even move! I had sciatica nerve damage! I looked it up myself and it was also verified when finally I was able to get to the hospital! I figured they were going to do surgery on me I was hoping because I was in so much pain! But they didn't they wanted to send me to a rehab center which they did and I could barely move! They told me if that didn't work out they would do the surgery on me! It didn't work out! And they never kept their word! So not only am I dealing with two botched neck surgeries! Trying to get my voice back! Now they won't keep their word and do the surgery on me for the sciatic nerve damage! I was released a couple of days before December 25th Christmas Day! Because the rehab wasn't working and I tried as hard as I could! So they sent me home in extreme pain! Not only from the botched neck surgeries but doing nothing about the sciatic nerve damage! You can't make this stuff up! From May 2024 till the end of the year it was a nightmare at Tufts medical Center! I probably would have sued them! But I wanted to try to get my voice back myself! And even though I couldn't walk I forced myself to walk again everyday painfully! Tufts medical Center was an absolute joke for me! And I still live with the neck pain! An absolute nightmare you just can't make up! I changed my insurance and my primary care doctor! I am no longer with them thank God! If you like them more power to you! But for me they were the worst nightmare! The only thing good about them was breakfast and lunch! My phone got broken in the hospital during that time! I couldn't even contact my friends to let them know what was happening! It was absolutely horrible! Today I barely walk! 😡🔥
