What was posted

A neighborhood argument I was barely part of spilled onto my page as a cluster of one star reviews from non-patients.

What actually happened

It had nothing to do with my care and everything to do with a fight I did not choose.

Impact

Longtime patients saw a wall of hostility and I had to reassure them.

Steps taken
