  3.5 years ago i had a sever head injury and was admitted to Anajaques. AJH never did a mri or catscan. I did not present concussion symptoms but I began having issues with in a week and called that office. I requested I have an MRI done - I was seen and denied not just once but over a three year period and while experiencing all kinds of issues including memory loss, extreme pain though out my body , not healing, extreme fatigue, extreme loss of strength, extreme anger extreme head pressure and difficulty concentrating - jessica disregarded my requests for basic anti inflammatory meds and muscle relaxers. she blatantly denied my request to see an neurologist - insisting it was a virus handed me a prescrition for prednazone and insisted it wasn't neurological. I kept telling her there was something wrong with me with my head. She minimized my condition and by logging it as a "slip and fall" which it was not. I flew off the back of my dump truck 10ft smashing my head against a boulder. I had 5 -6 staples. Still I was not considered seriously. Finally after loosing fighting for three years I was allowed to see a pain specialist. from there I progressed to many other doctors until I finally ended up at spaulding and MGH for further tests and rehabilitation. My new chiropractor dr kane encouraged me not to stop fighting as he agreed that all my symptoms and difficulty were due to this head injury. All doctors that i have seen could not believe that AJH did not do a mri the day I went in and that jessica refused to acknowledge I had neurological damage due to the trauma. I am still being told of the BASIC health care I was denied and could not begingthe rehab at spaulding until I got those standard tests and therapies done. I lost my ability to work and to function for 2.5 months this summer. I was in extreme pain that crippled me as well as plagued with sever anger- enough to kill a person and not think twice about it. I tried to tell her that and the doctor that filled in for her - I left the office doing everything I could not to kill the idiot that sent me away suggesting I take two alive and see someone else handing me a piece of paper. That was after I just told him I had taken 8 advil and 2 aleive in a 24hr period. I wouldn't never trust her and anyone in that office with any head trauma. get away from them so you don't spend 3 years suffering and believing they knew what they were doing. One of the disease specialist tried calling her to get her to approve a neurologist- after two weeks he still didn't hear back so I recommend he call the pain specialist i saw to see if he would do it. Not until the neurologist contacted her office did she even bother to reach out to me to see if I was ok. I didn't bother to call her back- I finally have a new PC. I told jessica from the beginning - i don't go to the drs unless i need to. when I know something is really wrong and I have waited to see if it passes. IF you see me something is really wrong so I expect you to listen. SHE FAILED FOR THREE YEARS TO LISTEN MAKING ME FEEL I WAS THE JERK THAT WAS EXAGGERATING MY CONDITIONS AND ISSUES. Fortunately it got so bad to me I didn't question it I KNEW.
