When people hear about medical malpractice, they often think the story ends with a hospital discharge, a lawsuit, or a settlement headline. What they rarely see is what happens after, the daily vigilance, the fear, the permanent changes to a child’s body and a parent’s mind.

Silence can be the clearest admission of all Methodist

The Question Every Parent Should Ask Before your child ever steps foot into an ER, ask yourself: If something went wrong, would this hospital tell me the truth— or would it tell me a story that protects itself?

We Trusted Methodist—And Our Children Paid the Price

While Methodist Southlake publicly celebrates a Leapfrog “A” safety grade, they are privately refusing to release critical records about the care that left my 11-year-old son in ICU with septic shock. Despite a federal investigation confirming internal failures, the hospital continues to block discovery, deny responsibility, and bury the truth. This is not transparency. This is a wall. And we’re still fighting to break through it.

Dr. Teresa Proietti, the ER physician who discharged Nicholas just before he went into septic shock, recently told Texas lawmakers that providers who “minimize abnormal results and send patients home” are dangerous. Her words—nearly a confession—mirror exactly what she did to my son. We’re making sure this contradiction is on record. When physicians say one thing and do another, families like ours pay the price. This fight isn’t over.
