No, I was not an unruly patient,but instead called out their bullshit as a healthcare provider working with them. And reported them. Which lead to them banning me. Which funny enough is illegal here as well.
And I am banned from entering Turkey.
Turkish airlines nearly killed me during a flight by having some sharp pieces in my food. Had a gastric bleed from it,including a hospital stay in a foreign country.
Well. My travel insurance sued them and thinks got ugly. In parallel the political party I then was a somewhat active member of back then (as in “running for state parliament”-levels) was getting in arguments with Erdogan.
So one day I received a letter by my foreign department that I specifically should not enter Turkey or I might see a Turkish prison from the inside.
Bonus content:
I am also banned at two different swinger clubs in two different countries. And I swear I was never a guest in either one.
First one: I am a paramedic and responded to a call to this establishment.Small, sleezy, club with not much going on. (We had a few od these in the area, I know how they usually look like)
Man had “too many to drink” according to the owner and he basically just called us to get rid of him fast.
Yeah, no. Guy in reality had a major stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage to be exact) and was, well, actively dying. Not gonna tube a 120kg bodybuilder that is having seizures in a dark room. So I very nicely asked them to put on all the lights they could find. Which,well, did not fare well with the owner. He refused and did infact insult us and try to force us out. (With the patient)
He shoved me.
I am really not the guy you want to mess with when it comes to that. Former bouncer. Called law enforcement backup and shoved him back. Hard enough for him to fly through the room. Law enforcement arrived fast, arrested him and as then no licence holder was on site cleared the premises. (And according to them tipped off the fire marshal,the code enforcement and health control guys)
He requested the name of the manager of my service. Which was kind of funny…i was the manager. So two days later he wrote a heated mail and banned my colleagues and me.
The other one is sadly not as funny/expansive. During COVID I was regularly in the media(Disaster prevention/planning is my main business now) and after an interview with an national newspaper some owner took offence and wrote me a (actually fairly civilized) letter that I was banned for life in all his establishments. TBH, that one was FAR more difficult to explain to the wife than the first one.
I am banned from an hospital and a country.
