1. “I’m not sure you would call someone at Jiffy Lube a professional, but I had a vehicle inspection done over twenty years ago.”
“I was watching the technician and he pulled something out of his pocket and started working around the frame of my headlight. At the time, I didn’t understand what he was doing. He went in and talked to the guy at the counter. Then the guy at the counter called me and told me I didn’t pass the inspection because the frame holding my headlight up was broken.
They then stated that they had a mechanic on site who could replace the damaged parts, for a fee of course. I immediately realized I was seeing technicians break the frame. I asked to see the manager and told them I saw the technician broke it. Technicians happen to be field mechanics. “

2. “Two doctors giggled and rolled their eyes at my son’s MRSA infection after cancer surgery.”
“He had been an addict and they didn’t believe he was innocent. When I saw the hurt and pain in his eyes, after everything he had been through, I was furious. We took this all the way to the top and they were both condemned by the AMA and the hospital where they worked.
They pulled out all the stops with cupcakes, gift cards, apologies and letters. Protests took place outside the hospital and were specifically named. The mistake they made was when hospital administrators spoke to them about it, they laughed at her in front of her face. I’m so glad I was able to follow along and see the look in my son’s eyes. “
