When Traci Osuna's husband, Raul, entered the hospital in 2021, she expected answers, transparency, and compassionate care. Instead, what began as a routine hospital visit became a heartbreaking journey that left her with more questions than answers. After his passing, Traci requested his medical records, and what she discovered led her down a path she never expected.
