As the VA enforced neglect to Morgantown's Ruby Memorial Hospital 15 years after removing from my medical records the diagnosis of 2006 MRI stating "SEVERE""ATTN""NEEDED" the plan immediately began by the VA was for and would cause death by ignoring care needed. The concern was for a large disc bulge at L-3 and knew neglect would allow the disc to get to my spinal cord. This danger all sought while leading me in this system by those plotting my murder held oversight for this outcome. If the disc touches the spinal cord for more than 10 days even if the spine is decompressed and fused this will not change the condition created by the disc on the spinal cord, Myelomalacia. This VA and all within its system adm-med wanted one end for me, Myelomalacia. Those at Winchester Medical System to be my through sure were instructed by the VA to ignore the Spinal Shock Trauma in the most violent injury imaginable one could suffer and do nothing knowing the compression force of shock up my spine.

Further stating this is twice as bad as what we normally fuse ( yet all in va made sure that I endured twice what others find care of but did nothing in the sole practice of my neglect). Stating I need more experienced surgeons to help, I'm making this a priority. It was 10 months later when the experienced surgeon called. My first visit to Balt was in 06 after the nurse spent an hour telling me how the surgeon would fix my spine then telling me the Dr was called an emergency and would reschedule appt in a couple of months. It was 11 years before anyone acknowledged my spine again. VA, those in Martinsburg's VA, Cumberland VA despite hundreds of attempts to tell all about what I faced giving detailed history endured where care was to be given then VA forgot their, own, plan but believed someone would help thinking they needed insight of what was happening I gave all in-depth history so they would understand how to help. A slight insight into "VA'S-WILL" plotting deceit for my murder.

Will a Court Force Mississippi to Change on Mental Health?

Tyler Haire spent his 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th birthdays in the Calhoun County jail in Pittsboro, Miss. Sometimes, he would throw tantrums and ask to be sent to solitary confinement where he could sleep. He would tell his jailers about the voices he heard or the visions of aliens he saw. Sometimes, he would lie on a mattress and watch the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons he loved. Other times, he would color pictures of dragons to give to the deputies.
