In this raw and personal episode, I reflect on the devastating consequences of inadequate aftercare — both in my own life and in the lives of others. From a formal complaint that left me feeling unheard, to the heartbreak of a misdiagnosis that shaped my youth, I explore the complex emotions of sadness, relief, and long-overdue clarity. This is a message for anyone who has ever felt abandoned after discharge — and a call to share, relate, and push for change. You are not alone.
