THE ACCOUNTABILITY SERIES: A Rabid Woman, Part 8
a.k.a. - The Holding OhioHealth Hospital Accountable Series
Also read for you at youtube.com/@survivoronamission
The Accountability Series is a call for change — a public record and a reminder that patients deserve to be heard. Healthcare accountability should be standard, not a battle that injured patients and their families are forced to fight, only to be dismissed and left to pick up the pieces alone.
Through this series, I’m opening a window into an ongoing campaign — it’s an invitation for hospital decision-makers to finally step up after more than four years of denying the abuse and injuries I sustained by one of their surgeons. I am drawing from my personal malpractice journey, yet it mirrors untold numbers of malpractice journeys where the injured have been and will be shut out and failed by rigid, inhumane brick wall systems.
OhioHealth is the responsible hospital corporation. I will address each email message to their “Leadership” teams, which includes their president and other top administrators. Copies may also be sent to employees, the media, lawyers, and patient advocates.
We’re all human, and injuries happen. Medical professionals need and deserve legal protection, but so do patients. This is about accountability and systemic reform, not a personal attack.
This is about addressing the imbalance of power and confronting hypocrisy.
Subject: Rabid Woman, Part 8 - 9/24/25
Dear OhioHealth Leadership Team:
You may wonder, Who is this rabid woman who refuses to get over it and move on? Is she dangerous? Should we get a restraining order?
Here are some clues about me:
Comfort foods? Ice cream, mashed potatoes, chips & dips, grilled cheese
A song that always lifts my mood? Movin’ On Up from The Jeffersons
A lesson I learned the hard way? I’m in charge of my emotions
A movie I never get tired of? When Harry Met Sally
A smell that instantly makes me happy? Coffee brewing, bread baking, warm spices
Favorite way to relax? Dinner with a friend, a good movie with a big bowl of popcorn, hanging out with Mother Nature
Pet peeve? guess
Favorite childhood snack? Cheese and mustard sandwiches on white bread that my mom cut into moon and star shapes with cookie cutters
Favorite smell in nature? Before and after it rains, flowers, wild onions
A quote or phrase I try to live by? Love healing more
A childhood TV show I loved? The Wonderful World of Disney
A small thing that brings me big joy? Feeding the neighborhood stray cats
I'm a woman who was once a little kid. I'm a mom, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I love, laugh, cry, and bleed. I smile, feel sadness, get angry, and apologize sometimes.
I am a human being -
one who tries to talk sense to crickets.
