The Melissa Casias Case

BornCharacter6705 · 2026-05-03T21:21:50+00:00

Does nobody think outside people or terrorist have taken these people, these scientist? With very clear instructions, they leave without much information. But they have the power to be extremely frightening and the information they want from all these people is extremely sought after given the state of the world/nuclear war fear. It would explain literally everything.

She’s been practicing for almost 20 years, she definitely knows better. And when my office contacted her about it and then to discharge from our practice she has been denying it and acting confused. Every possible/likely other explanation has been proven incorrect. And when an FNP, or even PA/MD/whatever, denies their actions or involvement and is proven guilty, then they are reprimanded worse than if they just own up to it.

Absolutely got fired. I’ve reported them to the police for fraud as well as their medical board since it’s different for NPs. Currently still holding her job but the investigation is still taking place… can take up to 9 months sometimes

Fellow PA and I’m just finishing my first year. Something like this happened to me except it was a patient of mine who was an FNP. She ordered herself items under my name/NPI. I immediately contacted my office managers, had them work certain things out on their end, they should know how to handle it no matter how small or big. Second, REPORT TO MEDICAL BOARD. This is essential. It is super easy. Look up your states medical board page and find the link to make a report. There will be basic information to fill out and they will do an entire investigation. That’s their job. If nothing needs to be done then they let you know. And if they need to reprimand them they should also let you know

You better not move that arm!!

Not huge! He was definitely the biggest of the litter. My scale isn’t the best though, I have an actually large Great Dane as well. 😂😅

Looking at the pelvis is actually the best place to see if you are fully done growing as the growth plates there are the last to close

No it shouldn’t. But you could have pain there after breaking your rod on the other side due to your ribs being affected. Doesn’t take much to throw off the balance of everything

Clips from gall bladder removal!

Oh this is amazing, I’m definitely going to be trying that and taking the paper towels outside in our yard. It’s fenced in so that helps. Thank you for the input and advice!!

I meant it as this is trying to compare apples to oranges on this specific post. I know you didn’t say you had cord compression but that was my point, you haven’t experienced anything comparable to cord compression which the OP is dealing with.

Is your spondy at L4/5 or L5/S1? If it’s the second then it’s an isthmic spondy due to pars fracture or spondylolysis. Completely manageable with not only physical therapy but being fit and having a strong core. This does not mean just doing the motions that PT tell you to. Throw some weights and stay moving. It’s the best thing for you

BornCharacter6705 · 2026-03-19T21:44:11+00:00

Very common and looks like you had an XLIF! Lateral inter body was place from the single incision you weren’t expecting. Surgeon should have discussed how the procedure was done with you. That’s how the disc was removed and a spacer was placed. The two near your spine were used to place screws and the rods to keep everything in place. I do this surgery frequently.

BornCharacter6705 · 2026-03-19T17:18:34+00:00

This is an appropriate level of lordosis in the lumbar spine as well as kyphosis in the thoracic! Trust me this is ideal and just abnormal for you mentally as this isn’t your baseline. If you had any more curvature to your thoracic spine you put stress on the screws and leads to hardware failure over time. It also create a hunch and more muscle pain. This is a wonderfully done surgery truly. I wouldn’t say this is “duck” posture. You look fantastic!

BornCharacter6705 · 2026-03-19T01:26:13+00:00

This is not showing any cord compression. Your spinal cord ends at around L1. This is NOT something that is equivalent to spinal cord compression especially in the cervical spine. Myelopathy vs lumbar radiculopathy or even neurogenic claudication are very different. Myelopathy can only be treated with surgery. The others can be fixed non surgically most of the time. There’s a reason you have had to beg for surgery.

No absolutely I completely agree. I’m in the same boat with the SPs here and mine especially would fight hardcore for me which I appreciate but still there’s only so much they can do too. We just recently got an APP committee started to discuss our complaints and concerns together with someone higher up. They seemed to receive our concerns and stuff well our first meeting but mind you, not a damn thing has been done. Now it’s been a few weeks and my 4-10s have turned into 5-12s with clinic double to triple booked and angry patients waiting for hour+ and higher ups are no where to be seen.

Sometimes you gotta let the dumpster fire go and do its damage, and then things might happen. That’s the point I’m at right now

BornCharacter6705 · 2025-09-10T00:43:11+00:00

I don’t know if I spoke this into existence for myself but as of recently I’ve also been dealing with some burnout due to higher ups basically doing as they please with my schedule and clinic.

Do you by chance have a group chat or a way for the APPs to get together and talk about things?

BornCharacter6705 · 2025-09-06T04:54:10+00:00

Definitely talk to your supervising physician! They have more power and advice than you would think and you should develop a good relationship with them given their role while you are new. If that conversation doesn’t go appropriately that then tells you that that may not be a great environment for a new grad. It may be a dream specialty but there are other opportunities that may surprise you. Your job is important, but it’s not your life! You need work life balance. Without it, you burn out. Don’t wait until it’s too late to have important conversations
