History is full of moments when the medical system got it horribly wrong—until people stood up and said, “no more.”

From Tuskegee to Willowbrook to the early HIV crisis, to now stripping patients from their right to use the medications that help them survive. Change didn’t come from within. It came from outrage, exposure, and relentless public pressure.

What stops systemic harm?

– Whistleblowers.
– Patients telling their stories.
– Families refusing to be silent.
– Public records, blog posts, news reports, lawsuits.

And we’re doing it again.

This isn’t just about me. It’s about every patient with chronic pain who was forced to suffer because of fear, policy, or negligence. Every patient who has been force tapered from the only medication that may work for them to live a half way decent life.

We’re shining light in the dark. And we won’t stop until the system changes.
