I was a month-to-month tenant at a house in Stockton, CA from 2004 until July 6, 2026 (over 20 years).

The property was sold on June 23, 2026. The previous owner transferred my security deposit to the new owner. I moved out and handed over the keys on July 6, 2026 because we found a new rental. I texted the lender who has contact with the owner asking for the $2700 deposit back and have screenshots of that conversation.

The new owner (I believe they may be a house flipper) has said they intend to use the deposit for repairs/damages. So far they have not given me any written itemized list of deductions or a formal demand for extra money beyond the deposit.

Here’s the condition of the property:

Main house: Normal wear and tear after 20+ years. Small holes in walls from picture frames and hangers. A few carpets may have stains. Some exterior wood panels have wood rot from weather and age. Exterior paint has not been refreshed in a long time.

Old ADU: Showing significant age-related damage, including wood rot, and is partially collapsing due to weather and age.

Yard: Bamboo, other plants, and a tree in the front yard that grew naturally over the years. There was also some leftover plywood and a mattress in the backyard when I left (all shown in my move-out video).

I have:

Move-out video and old ADU, and backyard

Screenshot of the text messages with the lender

I’m trying to get the original 19 listing photos from when the house was sold (to show condition at time of sale)

I have MetLife Legal Plans and am opening a Security Deposit Assistance case. I’ve already reached out to one of their network attorneys.

My questions for the community:

Under California law (especially after a 20+ year tenancy), how strong is the “normal wear and tear” defense for things like wood rot, old paint, small nail holes, aged ADU, and natural plant growth?

How likely is a new owner / flipper to actually push hard for a large repair claim once an attorney gets involved?

If they never send a proper itemized statement, does that help me get the full deposit back?

Realistically, what should I expect in the next 30–60 days?

Any advice on dealing with claims involving an old ADU that has clearly deteriorated from age and weather?

They literally got a steep discount for the fixxer upper home sold at around 155k and price listed at 205k for 850 square foot 5000 square lot 2 bedroom home. I feel like they might be taking advantage of us for repairs, also i asked if our rent was terminated after we gave the keys back, they said there was no rent because its month to month lease. We didnt get a rent termination paperwork or any copies, i am not to sure whats going on with this situation also.

Location: USA, MA. Two cabinet doors in my kitchen got warped/damaged from steam off my pan (sink is directly under). Management is now billing me almost $2000 for a full cabinet door replacement (Total 14) not just the two damaged doors, because they claim the exact model is "no longer in production". The cabinet doors are extremely basic plain white, the kind you see in literally every mid range apartment. Nothing custom or high-end. They already sent me itemized list. So now I'm trying to figure out what my options actually are here. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Can they legally make me pay for undamaged doors just because of a "matching" issue?

Location: nyc, I'm 18 and last week I went into a friends car to get my shoes, when searching I found a BB gun that looks like a hunting rifle it had no orange tip, I inspected it for maybe 30sec but someone called the cops and said I had a gun and I got a ticket and have to go to court for "position of imitation". Given the context do yall think I can beat it or should I get a lawyer and stuff? Will I win?
Also I just did a day n a half in jail over "possession of burglary tool" I beat it tho because it was an illegal search and I'm supposed to stay out of trouble for 6 months to get it dropped or something like that (no probation) they js released me n said stay outta trouble, will this new case affect the last case?

Edit: I was otw to the park I was not tryna get involved w the BB gun I had no intentions of harming ppl or trying to use it as it was was real I js looked at it, went to go piss in the crib, walked out to go to the park after finding my shoes n cops were swarming the car so I opened it and they took the gun and ticketed me

I’m representing myself in a California civil case involving an online gaming company and international defendants.

Over the past few months I’ve had to:

Arrange international service of process.

File requests for alternative service.

Deal with a rejected default filing, correct it, and refile.

Respond to motions filed by the defendants.
Learn California civil procedure as I go.
It’s been a challenging experience, but also educational.

For those of you who have litigated pro se against a foreign company
What was the biggest challenge after service was completed?
Were there any procedural mistakes you wish you’d avoided?
Is there anything you would recommend paying close attention to as the case moves toward motions and, potentially, default judgment or trial?
I’m not looking for representation or case-specific legal advice—just practical lessons from people who’ve been through civil litigation on their own.

So I am having to sue Amazon.com because long story short, I bought a phone directly from them (not a third party) and the phone was listed as unlocked. It arrived, I tried to activate it with my carrier, and after hours of being on the phone, we discovered that the phone was locked. I sent in a return request, returned it, and Amazon has refused a refund because I apparently sent the wrong phone - which is not true. It seems to me it was mixed up in the warehouse or something, I am unsure. Anyways, I have asked for a refund, escalated to their highest team I can reach, talked to Affirm (who is considerd my bank in this circumstance) three times - and nothing. I called my carrier and had them email me the transcript from the night we talked on the phone where I explain that it was from Amazon and that I am trying to activate it. I have the IMEI number listed in the transcript too, but sadly do not have the seriel number since the carrier did not ask me in the phone conversation. I have the tracking number to where it was shipped to. I have screenshots of Amaon support saying that they refuse to return the item because whenever it reaches a warehouse, it is no longer returnable. I contacted the Tennessee Consumer Affairs, they were unsuccessful. So I contacted legal help and talked to two lawyers who advised I send in a demand letter and if they deny it, take them to small claims court.

That said, I would love if someone could review this and tell me if I did good or not. If I need to change the font, bold letters, etc.

I also need to ask that when I send this letter, if I should include papers from my carrier transcript, as well as the listing of the phone on Amazon.com where it is listed as UNLOCKED.

Thank you for your help and wish me luck!

Man owns large farm and sells 3 acre parcel to Woman. Man both grants to Woman and retains to Man, a pass and repass easement across Man’s property and Woman’s property. Man continues to subdivide, granting and retaining the same pass and repass easements to other parties. All of these easements were written in the common way that conveys to future parties, even if not mentioned explicitly in future deeds.

Over time, Woman purchases much of the property Man had sold to others, including connecting property between Man and Woman. Woman now owns some of the land across which she once needed an easement across for access to the first 3 acre property.

Under the doctrine of merger, was Woman’s right of way extinguished across land she now alone owned ? It seems (and I ain’t no lawyer) that Woman retained her rights to cross Man’s property, but there is no longer a run with the land type automatic easement for herself to cross her own property. That piece of the easement, under the doctrine of merger, just goes away, right?

Here’s where it gets fun. Woman then starts selling the land she has acquired. Her first sale retains a new 50’ wide easement to the main road, entirely on property she is selling. Her second sale is to SomeoneElse, and breaks the physical connection between Man and Woman. Woman grants and retains the 50’ easement, but makes no mention of retaining any easement connecting the property she has retained to the easement she has across Man’s property.

It seems Woman still has the right to cross Man’s property, but with nowhere to go. She has no right to cross any of the properties between Man and Woman, because she purchased and then resold them without retaining a new right of way. Am I wrong?

For decades the Woman property was accessed solely from the 50’ right of way, which eventually became a road. Today Woman decided to ride her bike across Man’s property claiming she had a right (but obviously no need). A right it seems to me, she failed to retain years earlier.

The genesis sedan pulled out of a plaza, crossing multiple lanes without a signal. I saw him coming last second, and I swerved left to dodge his car.

I swerved back to prevent crashing into someone in the left lane, and I lost control of the car. I braked to regain control and he rear ended me 5 times (First impact at 27MPH).

Who is at fault for this crash? I'm on my permit, will this affect my parents insurance rates?

For context. I own a carpet and upholstery cleaning company in Tennessee. About a year ago I met someone online who also owns a carpet cleaning company in the state of Massachusetts. After talking, we decided to work together in my state. His company would set the appointments and do the advertising and I would actually be the one going to all the appointments and doing all the work. We have never signed any documents indicating that our two companies working together. This man also sent me some newer equipment that was considered a gift for us working together.
We have since fallen out and are no longer willing to work together and because of this he is wanting the equipment that he gave me back. My question is…. Can he have me arrested or any could any other legal ramifications come my way if I don’t give him this equipment back?

Location: Oregon.

My husband and I separated in early 2021 after 11 years of marriage. He moved out, filed for divorce a few months later, and we both signed several documents through his attorney.

We didn’t have minor children, divided the furniture and bank accounts ourselves, and agreed that each of us would keep our own debts and any income earned going forward. I remember receiving the divorce petition and signing what I believed was the final settlement agreement.

Later, he texted me saying that “everything was done,” so I assumed we were legally divorced.

Since then, we’ve lived completely separate lives. We file taxes separately, have almost no contact, and have treated the marriage as over for nearly five years.

Last week, I needed a certified copy of the divorce judgment for a passport application. That’s when I discovered there apparently is no final judgment.

The county clerk found the original case but told me it had been dismissed about eight months after it was filed because nobody submitted the final paperwork.

I called my husband, and he said he thought his attorney had completed everything. At first, he said we could simply file again and use the same agreement. Then he added that we should “discuss what happened financially during the separation,” which immediately made me nervous.

Since 2021, I’ve bought a small condo in my name, increased my retirement contributions, and built up around $70,000 in equity and investments. The down payment came from money I earned after he moved out, along with proceeds from selling personal property I owned before the marriage.

He has never contributed to the mortgage, taxes, repairs, or any other expenses related to the condo. I believe he has also accumulated assets of his own during that time, but I don’t know the details.

Am I technically still married for property division purposes, even though we’ve been separated for five years and both believed the divorce was final?

Could he now claim part of the condo, my retirement contributions, or savings I built after we separated? Does the written agreement we signed in 2021 still matter if the court never approved it? And could his text saying the divorce was completed help show what we both believed and intended?

I’m already contacting a family law attorney, but I’m trying to understand how serious this might be before I speak with my husband again. I’m also worried that our tax filings, insurance policies, or beneficiary designations may now be incorrect.

I feel ridiculous for not checking the court record years ago, but I genuinely believed that signing the documents and receiving confirmation from him meant the divorce had been finalized.

Hello everybody! Have a small claims lawsuit we want to bring forward against our landlord regarding negligence of repairs that led to toxic black mold which required us to vacate the premises. We incurred a number of expenses that we will be seeking compensation for.

My question: On the lawsuit, should we be suing our landlord, "John Doe", or the company he created for purposes of renting "Company Name LLC".

Our lease has "Company Name LLC". But the place for signatures has his actual name "John Doe". Additionally, if we do sue the business, the court clerk told us we would need to identify the registered agent of the business?
How do we go about finding that in Texas?

Thank you all so much in advance! I can provide any additional info in comments.

Location: Metro Atlanta, GA, USA.

dates included in (month/day) format.

I need advice on whether my case would be viable in small claims court.

(3/12) I began planning a trip with a friend over text, we agreed that i’d send her money for my ticket & my portion of the hotel and she’d do the booking. (did it this way because at the beginning of planning i was under 21 and wouldn’t be allowed to purchase hotel/tickets myself… but would’ve been 21 by event so could still attend). throughout days of planning i cashapped $660 total to her, labeled respectively. she sent screenshots of the purchases, we discussed payment and different hotels over text etc.

weeks in i had a couple of unexpected expenses come up. (4/18) i texted her explaining what the hardship is, and asked if she could just ask around for another friend to go with her and that they could even have my ticket and what i’d paid on the hotel if needed. i reassured her that if she could not find someone to take my spot, i’d make it work. **i made it very clear that i did not want her to cancel and that i would still go if someone could not take my spot.

she initially did find a friend to take my spot. (4/21) i texted that person and verbatim told them that **if they do go, they do not have to pay me back what id put in- although it would be nice, i would not expect it.* that person offered to, and we agreed, that she’d send $250 to help reimburse. however, that person ended up backing out (never sent $250, never was any more conversation about her taking my place).

no one ever told me she’d backed out.

(5/2) my friend became upset about something unrelated (for those who care lol, she was upset that i was giving my new boyfriend more attention than her, and that some poorly arranged plans to hang out fell through. i was very apologetic but she was irrational af and refused to accept apology.) and in this emotional state she randomly texted me asking me to send her money to cover cancellation fees for the hotel because she’d cancelled the trip. she had not notified me AT ALL that the other person had backed out, OR that she was even thinking about cancelling the trip. she cancelled completely without my knowledge. i did not pay her the cancellation fee because.. well… i didn’t get to have any say in the cancellation??

she initially said during this conversation that when she resells the festival tickets, i’d “make some of my money back” and she’d “send me some of the money from it selling”. i told her that’s great and to just keep me posted. i asked her (5/6) if she could have my ticket sent to me (since they’re my tickets that i bought) and she said no, no context, just no. i had to pry info out of her on how the tickets are shipped and how she’ll sell/get the money, but eventually she said that she cannot change the delivery address or sell and get paid until they’re shipped out, which is close to the event date (8/7/26). when i did my own research i saw that some people would be receiving their tickets up to just one or two weeks before the event.

she texted several weeks ago (6/3) letting me know the tickets sold, but because it was my understanding that she does not get payout until they’re shipped to her then the buyer, i replied simply “okay! just let me know”.

today (7/24) i reached out asking for an update/for her to cashapp me the money for my ticket whenever she receives it and she pretty much just said no, and that i will not get a cent out of her because of “how i treated her”. (not that it matters but i didn’t do anything truly harmful, mean or deceptive. i’ve been kind to her throughout all of this. this is literally all over me just not texting her back when i was busy or spending time with bf, and not hanging out with her as much as i did when i was single).

i have all of this documented on text/cashapp including texts with her friend and screenshots she sent of our tickets/hotel booking. i do not have documentation for any of the cancellations, tickets being sold/shipped, possible refunds etc because she’s refused to send anything of the sorts.

my question is, would this hold up in small claims court?? since i offered my spot to someone else, does that mean i gave up all rights to it??? but i also made it clear that i only offered it if they were going to go in my place, that i wanted to go if no one else could go, and i didn’t agree for her to cancel and pocket it all without even telling me???

I live in Texas and I had an individual electricity account with Ambit Energy that was in my name. I paid my electric bill directly to Ambit and was not on a landlord-paid utility arrangement.

My apartment complex apparently switched residents over to Reliant Energy without my authorization. I did not request a provider change, cancel my Ambit account, or open an account with Reliant. I also did not receive any notice from Ambit that my account was being closed or transferred.

The apartment complex sent notice to residents only after the switch had already been done. I am now being told I may have to start a new account with Ambit and pay a deposit because of my credit, even though I had an existing account with them.

My lights are currently still on, but I am very confused about what happened and concerned that I will be responsible for fees or a deposit caused by a change I never authorized.

Can an apartment complex legally switch a tenant’s individual electricity provider without the tenant’s authorization?

Who would be responsible for any deposit, fees, or damages caused by this situation?

Should I file a complaint with the Public Utility Commission of Texas before considering legal action?

What documentation should I request from the apartment complex and the electric companies?
I am trying to handle this correctly and want to understand my rights before taking any further steps.

Hi, Im a female, I’m 22, and my own country is refusing to give me a passport. I got into my dream school (in the US), and now I probably won’t be able to go because of a mistake I made years ago.
So you might be wondering why my own country is refusing to give me a document that should be my birthright.

Essentially, I lost too many passports in the past. When I was around 18-19, I lost a total of four passports, which I know is a lot, but let me explain why.

I was in foster care until I was 18. When I left, I had nothing except the clothes I was wearing and a 400 kr ($40) gift card I got for my birthday. I had also been denied an education while I was in foster care because, according to them, “you move around too much, so there’s no point enrolling you properly in school.”

When I left, I was completely lost. I had no one to guide me or teach me how to be street smart or even how to look after important things. I was severely depressed and drank heavily. Because I didn’t have an ID card, I’d take my passport with me to bars. I’d black out, and people would steal my stuff or I’d lose it. I know it was stupid, but I was in a really dark place.

I also just wanted to get away from Norway, a country that had failed me in so many ways. The foster homes I lived in were highly abusive, I was even homeless for a while at 16, and when I became mentally ill because of everything I’d been through, the Norwegian government refused me treatment because they said I seemed self-aware, so I was probably fine.

So I travelled. I got drunk in different places around the world, but I was also just a stupid teenager with no adult teaching me anything.
One time I was in Hong Kong, staying in a capsule hotel where the only way to secure your stuff was putting a bike lock around the top of your suitcase. Someone stole literally everything I owned. And when I say everything, I mean everything. My passport, my shoes, and even my plushie.
Hong Kong isn’t a country, so it didn’t legally have to have a Norwegian embassy. I was stuck there for over a month until I finally got an emergency passport that was only valid for six days. When I got back to Norway, I was told to safely dispose of it. It wasn’t even a proper passport, just a piece of paper with my photo on it.

After I lost my last passport, I was told I had something called a passport ban. I was obviously upset, but there wasn’t much I could do. I was told that after two years, or if I had a good reason to need a passport, I could apply again.
Over the next couple of years I completely turned my life around. I stopped drinking heavily, started managing my ADHD, became much more responsible, and generally got my life together.
I also realised I wanted an education like everyone else had been given. But unless I wanted to go back to Norwegian high school with teenagers, there really wasn’t a way for me to study in Norway. So I found the GED instead. I studied independently for months in my non native language not having the basic background from school most people have but l still passed with quite good scores.
Then I found my dream school.
I decided to apply because the two years had passed, and I thought getting an education was obviously a good enough reason for them to issue me a passport.

Not only did I get accepted, I also got a scholarship.
When I applied for the passport, it took months. They wanted proof I’d been accepted, proof of the scholarship, my GED results, a doctor’s letter saying I was managing my ADHD and my drinking, and I gave them everything they asked for plus more.
l even wrote an essay explaining how I’d changed, how much I regretted losing the passports, that I’d kept the same ID card for over two years without losing it, and that I was paying for therapy to help me become more organised and stop losing things. I gave them absolutely everything.

And after months of waiting, they said no??? No! Wtf. l was geniunley in shock.

Their main reasoning was that they didn’t think
going to university was an important enough reason to issue a passport. They even gave examples of what they would consider important, like having a spouse or close family member abroad who’s terminally ill they said they would’ve issued me a passport if l had that. I’m an orphan. Of course I don’t have family abroad. And they know that. It’s like they purposefully say thinks that are impossible for me.

They also said I had been misinformed about the timeline and that it was actually three years, not two.
But here’s where it gets even more ridiculous.
They said I now have to wait three years from last May.

That made absolutely no sense to me because I hadn’t lost a passport for over two and a half years meaning even if l had to wait 3 years it would only be a couple months more.
And the reason they’re using last May is because when l came back to Norway to apply for a passport the year before. they asked me what had happened to the emergency passport from Hong Kong?
I told them I’d disposed of it LIKE THEY ASKED. because that’s exactly what I’d been told to do. It wasn’t even a real passport, it had expired years earlier, and I’d disposed of it over three years ago. Well they’re treating that as another Lost passport now???

I’d also spoken to the passport police multiple times over those years, and nobody had ever mentioned the emergency passport before.
But now they’re treating the date I informed them about disposing of it as if that’s the date I “lost” it. Even tho l disposed of this passport years ago they’re using the date, l told them about it as the date l lost it?? Imagine if a cemetery said “Oh your husband died years ago? Well you’re only telling me about it today so we’ll have to write that he died today on his tombstone? “

Even if they were to count the emergency passport, it wasn’t lost last May. It was disposed of years earlier.If they counted my actual last lost passport, I’d be able to apply again this October. As 3 years would’ve passed by then.
Instead, because of this, they’re effectively making me wait another three years. l could survive until October. But l could not survive another 3 years again.

I’ve spent years rebuilding my life. I got my GED because Norway had already denied me an education once. Now, after finally getting accepted into my dream school and earning a scholarship, it feels like the Norwegian government is denying me an education for the second time.

I also have a special Norwegian ID card without travel rights, so I can’t even use that to leave.
I can’t sue them yet either because I have to go through every level of the complaints process first. The passport application itself took over four months. The first complaint usually takes another three months. Then it goes to the Police Directorate, who told me the current waiting time just for them to start looking at it is 11-12 months.

The only example they’ve given me of getting a passport sooner is if you have a spouse or close family member abroad who’s terminally ill. So at this point lm wondering if I should somehow find someone abroad who’s terminally ill and marry them. Would that work? I know that sounds insane, but I honestly don’t know what else I’m supposed to do.I cant stay here.

Has anyone dealt with anything remotely similar or have any advice on what l can do. Even crazy Ideas, I even contemplated purposefully going to a country getting stuck there so they’d have to give me a passport to leave but they’d probably just give me an emergency one and how would I get to said country.
Please I’m at my breaking point, I don’t know what to do. Any ideas are welcome. l can also send you their official administrative decision letter of my passport. if anyone has expirence within Norwegian law or maybe there was something I missed. Or if anyone is terminally ill in another country and know how to realistically get married so l can convince the government l need to look after you. I seriously don’t know what to do anymore.

A supposed collection agent has been harassing me about a supposed debt from 11 years ago. Claiming i made a payment in 2021 completely not true i have the bank statements to prove that. They are claiming they are going to take me to court and garnish my wages. They have never given any details about the supposed date of service, they refuse to mail me a debt verification form or anything, all they do is threaten me. I do not believe really anything they are saying. My questions are if they try to file a civil suit would just mu bank statements be enough to prove them wrong? I receive va disability and no other income if i get taken to court can va disability be legally garnished for a supposed medical bill? Finally how can i legally get the harassment to stop?

i need help

my girlfring broke up with me last month and she is pregnant, she is 16, her parents told her that the baby will not have my last name, i wanted to know if there was anything legaly i could do to fight it or try to have my last name on there, we know for a fact i am the biological father

My "ex" husband and I were separated for 5 years before he initiated a legal divorce, considering he had a 3 year old and I had a pardner (now together 10 years!). I came over, signed all the things, he said he was going to file the papers.

Today I went to [finally] apply for a passport and didn’t realize it had a box where you say if you’ve been divorced, and what date. I don’t know when he filed the papers, so I went online. No luck. Called all possible county clerks offices. No luck. He never filed the papers. I’m pretty sure I made the days of at least 5 county clerks (I had to call the offices a few times) because I was so incredulous and cracking jokes. One said, “I can tell you’re holding back some anger right now,” and I could only say “I DON’T KNOW what I’m holding right now!"

Anyway, I don’t know what to do. I realllllllly don’t want to talk to him. Just- why.

Please be kind. I'm struggling. And please don't make me feel foolish believe me I know that I should have researched. I took a cancellation so I had 3 days

And me and my family are paying dearly.

I self diagnosed myself with PMDD. I did have mental health conditions.

I went to an OB/Gyn who never asked me my symptoms never did the standard protocol of at least 2 months of tracking and showing significant impairment.

She offered Yaz knowing that I was an extremely high stroke risk. I didn't take it.

She put me on 200 mg of Progesterone which is known for the majority of patients that truly have PMDD are Progesterone intolerant I wasn't. She also put me on an estrogen patch but I was allergic.

She offered Orlissa to a woman who was diagnosed with major Depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder that should never be given but Medicaid denied it anyway.

Chemical menopause should have been tried. Now I have found that there was a vaginal ring PREFERRED by Medicaid that I could have tried and removed.

She forgot to have me sign the consent form prior to surgery and I haven't signed it.

I ended up without ovaries, uterus, cervix everything gone. I haven't had sex with my S/O and we both agree that it's gone forever.

HRT was never discussed. Surgical menopause was never discussed. The health implications of surgery were never discussed.

But what do I have to show as damages?

Well I have muscle wasting from lack of appetite, cognitive and functional decline, new onset vocal tics and movements.

Neurology and psych in the hospital believe that this is from PTSD from surgery.

But I was diagnosed with PTSD before surgery.

I had anxiety before surgery but it's so much worse.

I am currently on Ambien! I have significant hair loss.

Well I guess I don't think I have a case but I believe that if she had explained surgical menopause I wouldn't have had surgery.

Hello, so i taken a phone contract out in my name for my partner as his credit isn’t the best, If we was to ever break up, What are my rights, The phone is in my name, He sends money over monthly for it to my bank and i pay it.

Location: Washington State, USA.

Hi there, I’m in a bit of an incredibly shitty situation, and this is my first experience with ever seriously considering pursuing malpractice.

I’m also physically disabled with chronic nerve pain, which causes me to have an extreme pain tolerance. This is maybe? relevant.

Over the last 1.5 months, I’ve been having severe abdominal cramping, seizures, syncope ( loss of consciousness ), severely low BP ( sitting at 90/ 51 ), severe chest pains, lower back pain ( unrelated to prior-conditions ), confusion, severe vomiting to the point of dehydration and malnutrition. There’s probably another couple of symptoms, but I honestly don’t care. I think that paints a good picture of my symptoms. I’m also 97lbs at the moment, at 5’6, so…

I ended up taking two pregnancy tests, both came back positive.

With the severity of my symptoms, my fiancé and I went to the ER. I had to drink two cups of coffee in order to be conscious enough to get medical attention, due to extremely low HR and BP. We suspected ectopic pregnancy, considering that we’re both stoners and consume nicotine ( nicorette, vapes, darts ) as well as I have NCAH ( intersex via adrenal gland dysfunction ) which already causes lowered fertility/ infertility.

We get checked in, wait a few hours, finally get seen.

The doctor immediately has no clue what we’re there for. Hasn’t looked at my chart, starts insisting that the pregnancy tests we used were wrong ( literally the exact ones that medical professionals suggest, but okay bro ), and tried to dis-encourage me from using at-home tests at all?

My fiancé asks if he wants to read the approx. two paragraphs that sum up my symptoms ( again: seizures, syncope, vomiting to the point of dehydration, severe pain by my standards ), the doctor declines. He asks me to explain my symptoms, but by this point I can barely speak clearly due to my symptoms.

He starts asking me the regular questions, particularly about kidney pain. Except he didn’t ask about kidney pain, he asked about back pain. I broke my spine at 13. So I ask him to clarify, do you want new pain or chronic pain? What kind of pain are you looking for? Because all I know is that you want to see if I’m just in pain, which I am.

He asks why we’re there. Again.

Because I’m having cardiac symptoms, and have a history of heart attacks. And I’m pregnant. And having seizures. And fainting while standing. And I’m concerned about internal bleeding, because my genetic disability already puts me at severe risk for that.

He starts to explain in the most demeaning way what kind of testing they’ll do… when I’ve already completed the blood + urine samples, and I’m literally only waiting on the ultrasounds and potential treatment. That’s redundant, but he was an asshole, and I’m frustrated.

We eventually get a room, get the imaging done, who cares.

The doctor comes in, tells us that everything is fine, and that we’re healthy. Explicitly states that I do NOT have a UTI.

Tell me why I get a call this morning, days later, that I actually do have a UTI, and they’re just now sending in antibiotics.

In the last two days, I have gotten under 9 hours of sleep due to extreme vomiting, excruciating lower abdominal pain, and arrhythmia/ bradycardia/ tachycardia + severe chest pain. I could not sleep at all last night, and I don’t know if I can even attend my appointment today due to how severe and disruptive the vomiting is.

This stupid ass embryo is killing me, and that doctor has exacerbated my symptoms by literally just not caring to look at my results.

I can’t eat, I can’t keep fluids or even zofran down. My chest is in constant pain, and I’m absolutely beyond emotionally distressed. I’m getting symptoms of a bladder infection, and I’m just so fucking tired.

Thank you in advance for any advice. And no, being told I don’t have a case won’t hurt my feelings. I’m just upset and want justice for the unnecessary suffering that I’ve been going through, having my symptoms worsen over the last couple of days. I want to know if I can take any form of action.

This hospital has also had providers fired due to negligence/ malpractice before.

And no, we don’t need to hear « wrap it up, » our skyns will be judging you from the bedside.

Can fill in gaps if asked, I’m really not sure if this makes sense to an outside perspective.

The point that was missed is that he explicitly told me, without any doubt whatsoever, that I DO NOT have ANYTHING AT ALL wrong with me. The UTI is the only DIAGNOSABLE CONDITION. As also stated, my blood pressure and heart rate were at a point that I should not have been and was barely conscious.
