Vulcan Imaging CEO Eric Blackman - Calls Not Returned In 6 Months - Misdiagnosed Broken Skull MRI

My January 6, 2023 call to Vulcan Imaging Associates CEO Eric Blackman. 6 months after trying to contact him, my calls and emails were never returned.

Followup to my April, 2022 call with Kim Mooney, Administrative Coordinator of Birmingham Alabama-based Vulcan Imaging Associates, who has 37 radiologists doctors in their group. I was told by Mooney that they "100% Stand By" a report of their radiologist who missed serious injuries in the MRI. She did not elaborate on who "they" were however. Mooney does not possess a medical license. I was also told they do not consult with patients and there was nothing their company could do in regards to my request to have a 2019 MRI scan reread, in which their doctor Michael Brant Ruff, stated I had no injuries and in which evidence of around 6 inches head trauma and infection can be observed. They would not put me in contact with the doctor or attempt to correct the error of their doctor.

Mooney gave me the phone number to reach the company CEO (strangely she would not transfer me to him or his voicemail despite working in the same office with him). In this call I dial the number I was given for the CEO only to find it was a wrong number. I then call Vulcan again directly and leave a message on their voicemail directed to CEO Eric Blackman. I invite Blackman to have a single of his 37 radiologists put their name and credentials and back up this erroneous report I was issued.

My attempt to call (University Of Tennessee honors graduate) Neuroradiology specialist Dr. Michael Brant Ruff MD (Vulcan Imaging). I'm a patient attempting to have a misdiagnosed MRI reread (Broken Skull). The truth of my issue is I had broken the underside of my skull, over about a year the wound became infected and infested with some type of parasite. I received a $600 bill from (Ascension) St. Vincent's Ambulatory Healthcare Network LLC in 2019 for this scan, I was told no injuries appeared here. Subsequent to this, between 2018-2019 I had several X-Rays and CT scans through Saint Vincent's East Hospital Birmingham AL., in which I was told no injury appeared. When I obtained my medical records of these scans, however, broken bone appears clearly in the underside of my skull in the exact area where I had (and still have) pain. How 4 different radiologists working for St. Vincent's could have missed this injury is concerning. I believe I may have been a victim of patient dumping (EMTALA violation) because I was a self pay patient and had no insurance or stated source of income.

This scan was done at Ascension St. Vincent's Trussville in 2019. 7201 Happy Hollow Rd Trussville, AL

Pell City-based Complete Health (formerly Northside Medical Associates) Trussville (who referred me to misdiagnosed MRI) did not stand behind me the patient (They could have told me what my injury was or had St. Vincent's reread the scan but they did not) but decided to back their business partners, Ascension. Medical records requested were denied to
