INSIDER'S REPORT | BEYOND THE BEDSIDE - THE MAKING OF A NURSE PRACTITIONER

I was a healthy ER nurse helping save countless lives during the entirety of the COVID pandemic for my employer. Now I’m sitting outside begging my hospital employer for the 8th day straight to get the spinal surgery I need to survive, caused at least in majority by a work injury to my spine per my medical providers.


For 19 months, I’ve been trapped in the Oregon workers’ comp system after injuring my back while moving a patient who couldn’t breathe. I felt a pop, then shooting pain and weakness down my leg. Two MRIs confirm catastrophic disc collapse, and six specialists agree my injury was caused by my work as a nurse and requires immediate surgery.


Yet the system only recognizes a "strain/sprain" despite clear evidence. This bureaucratic nightmare has cost me everything—over $100,000 in lost wages, my retirement accounts, and bankruptcy. I still owe $60,000 in nursing school loans to my employer.


The constant, severe pain has driven me to clinical depression so severe I’ve been hospitalized twice for thoughts of self-harm. My surgeons warn that without immediate intervention, I face permanent damage as my window for successful surgery closes forever.


After dedicating 10 years to caring for Oregon patients— including having been required to lift tens of thousands of adult patients without any lift equipment available for years and serving on the front lines throughout COVID—I’m now literally on the street fighting for my life.


Please visit helpreid.com to send one simple email to five legislators/decision-makers who can help get me the surgery I need to survive. Donations toward surgery also incredibly appreciated but not expected ＜3

helpreid.com | Day 8 (1st Video) : work-injured ER COVID nurse now begging for life-saving surgery

After serving on the frontlines throughout the entire COVID pandemic, I suffered a catastrophic spinal injury while helping a patient in respiratory distress. Despite six medical specialists confirming my L5-S1 disc collapse is work-related and requires urgent surgery, I’ve been waiting 19 months for workers’ compensation approval—with no end in sight.


This episode documents my harrowing journey: constant debilitating pain, financial devastation including bankruptcy and $100,000+ in lost wages, and multiple hospitalizations for suicidal thoughts stemming directly from my untreated injury. My surgeons now warn that my spine may begin to auto-fuse any day, permanently eliminating my chance for the life-changing surgery I desperately need.


Join me as I share how someone who dedicated their career to saving others now can’t get a single day of surgery after lifting tens of thousands of patients without proper equipment. Learn how you can help by visiting helpread.com to advocate for me with just one click.

ER Nurse: My 19-Month Struggle for Surgery After a Workplace Injury (Day 8)

After saving countless lives as an ER nurse during the entire COVID pandemic, I’m now fighting for my own survival. 19 months ago, I suffered a catastrophic spinal injury while moving a patient who couldn’t breathe. Despite six specialists confirming my severe disc collapse requires immediate surgery, the workers’ compensation system has only recognized a "minor sprain."

The consequences have been devastating - constant severe pain, $100K+ in lost wages, emptied retirement accounts, bankruptcy, and depression so severe I’ve been hospitalized twice. Before this injury, I had zero history of back or mental health issues.

For years, I was required to lift tens of thousands of patients with no lift equipment available. After dedicating 10 years to caring for Oregon patients, I’m now literally begging outside for the surgery I desperately need before my spine permanently fuses and the window for treatment closes forever.
