    What happens when hospital incompetence turns a family emergency into a nightmare? In this emotionally charged episode of Unstoppable, Victoria and Michael recount their traumatic experience with their daughter Faith's emergency visit. You'll hear about the distressing chain of errors that led to a series of unnecessary panics and suffering, from being placed in an inappropriate room to mishandling critical lab work. Their story highlights the stark reality that when medical professionals fail to read patient charts and understand medical history, the consequences can be devastating.

    Ever had to confront a medical professional about your loved one's care? Victoria and Michael did just that, facing off against an unprofessional nurse who failed to recognize their daughter's specific medical needs. This intense encounter culminated in the nurse's removal, underscoring the importance of patient advocacy in ensuring proper treatment. Through their harrowing journey, they shine a light on the systemic issues in healthcare and the emotional toll it takes on families, especially when dealing with special needs and medical PTSD.
