Dike v. Columbia Hospital Corp

A man told me, one day he was driving his car, and a seventeen-year-old new driver rammed right into him. His car was crushed, and he needed a special team to extricate him from the vehicle. Baruch Hashem, he felt okay, maybe a little tingle in his back, but basically, he walked away with just a few bruises. However, as the days went by, he kept feeling more and more pain in his spine. He went over to the home of the person who hit him. He knows that family very well. Being a tremendous ba'al emunah, with a big smile on his face, he told them he has absolutely no hard feelings towards them for what happened. He believes 100% that it was all from Hashem and that the driver was just acting as His shaliach. But, being that he was about to go for medical treatment which could be very costly, he asked them if it would be okay to go through their insurance to cover the charges. “Of course,” they replied, and they thanked him for being so understanding about what happened. He went to a world renowned specialist in Columbia Hospital in New York named Dr. Daniel Riew. After an MRI and some testing, Dr. Riew told this man that the person who hit him with his car actually saved his life. “What do you mean?” asked the man. Dr. Riew said, “You have a condition in your spine. It is compressed in three places,” and he showed him on the MRI. “It has been slowly happening for years. 99% of people with this condition feel pain along with it and get it treated in its early stages. You are from the 1% of people who have the condition without feeling any pain. If this would continue for longer without being treated, it would either result in complete paralysis or death. This injury from the car accident merely aggravated it and showed us what you have had for years.” This man had already thanked Hashem for bringing about the car accident, realizing that it must have been for his best, although he didn't know how. Now he was able to thank Hashem, actually seeing how it was for his best. Of course, there were numerous other reasons why Hashem had brought about this accident. He could have made the man discover his condition in countless ways. For whatever reason, this man had to experience this form of yissurim , but he was able to rise above it. He earned unimaginable rewards by not holding a grudge against the perpetrator. His amazing display of emunah throughout the entire ordeal is so inspiring. Not to hold people accountable, to see past what meets the eye and recognize that Hashem is pulling the strings - these are the fundamentals of emunah. We might not always see the immediate benefits of the difficulties we experience, but we do have the ability to believe that Hashem is always the One orchestrating events and doing them for our best.

IMA, Incorporated v. Columbia Hospital Medical Cit

In 2009 Keith developed pain in his neck after a fall from a horse. He did all the usual things to heal a sore neck but didn't improve. The pain lingered and started to travel to other parts of his body. At this point we suspected there might be something else going on. After seeing a number of different doctors over two years, Keith was finally tested for Lyme in 2011. He tested positive and was given the usual 3-week course of antibiotics. He improved for a short time but then his symptoms returned. Several doctors denied he was still sick and told us there was nothing they could do. He continued to decline. Then Keith saw a top infectious disease doctor at Columbia Hospital, who re-tested him. The doctor said the test was negative for Lyme (with one band showing) and that there was no such thing as Chronic Lyme. He suggested that it was all in Keith's head. It was totally demoralizing. Once we re-grouped from that experience, we continued to look for help. Keith saw an osteopath and the treatment was helpful but he was still in a lot of pain. The osteopath agreed that there are some people with Lyme who, even after the 3-week course of antibiotics, are still sick. Just this validation was huge for us. The osteopath was willing to give Keith 6-weeks of antibiotics to see if it would help but he wouldn't give more, as he was afraid to lose his medical license. The antibiotics seemed to help for awhile but then Keith got worse again. Then we heard of a Chinese herbalist who was having good luck treating Lyme patients. Keith would drive several hours once a month for his appointments, to get herbs. Keith tried this for several months with some improvement but no lasting results. Thankfully, before we could try any of those, I stumbled upon two books that helped set us on the right path, Cannabis for Lyme Disease & Related Conditions: Scientific Basis and Anecdotal Evidence for Medicinal Use by Shelley M White and Healing Lyme: Natural Healing of Lyme Borreliosis and the Coinfections Chlamydia and Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis by Stephen Harrod Buhner. Out of desperation, I designed a protocol for Keith from what I learned. Within couple weeks of starting this new protocol we knew we were on the right track. He stopped getting worse and actually started to improve. He stopped taking antibiotics and then after a year, stopped taking the herbs. His health had stabilized and but his health had not been restored. Still in research mode, I read about the Keto diet, which sounded crazy at first but we took a leap of faith and decided to give it a try. Within a few weeks Keith started to feel better.

Steve Buckhantz: Yeah, that's what they called it, and they tore that down after I was born I think. I don't think they wanted to make the same mistake twice. Andy Ockershausen: The weather department bought that building and tore it down and built a new one. But Steve- Steve Buckhantz: Yeah.

Episode 136 is Avi Golden. Avi was a Paramedic and his plan was to attend medical school. In early June 2007, at 33 years of age, Avi was admitted to Columbia Hospital, in New York, for surgery for a mitral valve prolapse repair that was discovered near the aortic valve in his heart. Like many people who go to the hospital for serious, but seemingly routine, surgery, Avi thought he’d be out and recovering in short order. However, that was not to be. During the surgery, Avi experienced a stroke on the left side of his brain, leaving him with right-sided paralysis, and profound aphasia, which proceeded to wreak havoc with his life. Did this stop Avi? Avi tells his story about his stroke and the effects of suffering from Expressive Aphasia. Avi still has balance problems and weakness on the right side of his body, but it’s his Expressive Aphasia that frustrates and confounds him more than any of his other post-stroke residuals. Avi can understand what people are saying to him and he can still read quite well. However, he continues to have a lot of trouble speaking and writing. This can be devastating for any friendly and outgoing person. Avi refuses to let aphasia get in his way. Avi is an EMT and more importantly, he’s embarked on a new mission of “aphasia advocacy,” educating others about aphasia and how it impacts a stroke survivor’s day-to-day life.To make this new goal a reality, Avi has been involved in a lot of aphasia-related projects. Like the myriad of activities in his pre-stroke life, he’s done so many things since his stroke like snowboarding, skiing, and scuba diving to name a few. Avi is joined by Katlin Brooks, who is a Speech Pathologist and Professor at Mercy College. Katlin works with Avi and she tells how they met and explains the art of speech pathology.
