My Nightmare Experience with AICA Orthopedics and Why I’m Speaking Out Now?

I was never silent. I reported what happened to me immediately — the very next day after the assault. I trusted the process. I truly believed that if I did everything right — if I reported it, cooperated, and followed the system’s rules — I would be protected and heard.

Instead, I found myself completely alone. There was no investigation. No real support. I was forced to bear the full burden of proof by myself, without a lawyer, standing in a courtroom alone while they decided if my experience even deserved to be heard. From the moment I spoke out about my sexual assault, patient care went out the window and I became a threat to their reputation — not someone who deserved dignity, healing, or justice.

They didn't just fail me. They silenced me.

This public campaign is about telling the truth. It’s about refusing to carry their silence on my back any longer. I followed every step they told me to trust. I upheld my part. They broke theirs. I’m not speaking out because I want attention. I’m speaking out because I deserve better. Because we deserve better. Because the truth deserves to be seen, not buried.

And I won’t let them erase what happened to me.
