This week on Calling in Sick, I'm sitting down with Kevin Crosson — advocate, speaker, and one of the most documented cases of vaccine-induced cardiac and immune injury in the country. And this conversation is not what you think it is.
This is an episode about what happens when a rare but real medical event becomes so politically charged that the patients suffering from it can't get diagnosed, treated, or believed.
We're diving into:
⚡ The three cardiac events that changed everything
🏥 75 doctors across Mayo Clinic, Cedars-Sinai, Stanford & UCLA… until he was helped
🔬 What finally got him diagnosed
🔗 What happens when a patient's condition becomes politically inconvenient to acknowledge
🧠 How losing his health in his 20s caused a serious identity shift
This episode is for everyone who has ever been dismissed, gaslit, or made to feel like their suffering was inconvenient. 🤍
xx, Alex
