broken ankle x ray

This is my foot when I broke my ankle in 2016 in Bermuda on both sides. ( I dont have any vidoes of Bermuda or my travels) I went to the "top orthopedic" hospital in the country located in NYC where I live. You will notice the high tech video x-ray.
I had a world class surgeon repair my ankle. I had been a dancer ,martial artist, surfer ,ice skater and my last full time job was as a personal trainer. I used to walk about 6 miles a day.
I went to physical therapy at 3 different places. They all said because I was in such good shape I would recover quickly. But I was in a wheelchair for 4 years! I lost weight. I was close to heart and liver failure. I was passing out and throwing up.
I kept going to the doctor at this hospital who repaired my ankle. He kept telling me that it was all in my head! He even wrote it in his notes!
I had lost 50 pounds and didn't have 50 pounds to lose!
After 3 and half years of this I finally went to another hospital to be evaluated! I didn't go to another hospital because that hospital is the best in the nation and the doctor was a world class doctor.
The hospital that repaired my ankle has been number 1 for Orthopedics in the nation for 12 years in a row. They were at one time the official hospital of the US Olympics. But I dont think they are any more.
Anyway I went to Mount Sinai West in New York City and I saw Dr Ettore Voucano. Within 2 minutes he diagnosed me with metal toxicity. The big shot doctor at the fancy hospital put a toxic metal in me.
It took a long time (maybe a year) for me to schedule surgery because I had to have alot of tests and see other doctors. During that year I was still in the wheelchair.
I finally had the metal taken out and gained my weight back. I am still learning to walk again. Being in the wheelchair messed up my spine.
I have a B 12 deficiency in spite of taking tons of B 12. But I am recovering.
The other hospital almost killed me and if it was not for Dr Vulcano I would have already died!
Dr Volcano has since moved to Miami Beach and is the chairman of orthopedic surgery.
I thank the Lord for Dr Vulcano! The Lord really lead me to him!
In addition he is a super nice guy!
