Exposing the System: My Journey Out of Healthcare

Since I was young, I have always been on a mission to change the world for the better. When I was 14, my cousin visited from the United States and invited me to volunteer with her. She was a physical therapist running aquatic therapy sessions for senior citizens. That summer changed my life forever. I fell in love with working with seniors. More importantly, I saw them truly get better—not just from the physical exercises, but from the laughter, the positive energy, the social connection, and the mutual motivation we shared in that pool.
Driven by that pure passion to heal, I came to America, went pre-med, and earned my doctorate. But the reality of the American healthcare system was a harsh wake-up call. I quickly realized the industry wasn't about patient care; it was entirely about making money. When I spoke up and complained about the corporate focus, I was dismissively told, "It’s a business, sweetheart." My response was always the same: "I got my doctorate, not my MBA. I am here to help people get better, not to line corporate pockets."
Everywhere I looked, I saw systematic, fraudulent billing of Medicare. The straw that broke the camel's back came when the company I worked for took over the rehab department of a skilled nursing facility an hour and a half west of the Twin Cities. As the only physical therapist on site, I audited the caseload and discovered that nearly every single patient was being fraudulently kept on service and billed at the highest possible rates. We are talking about billions of dollars in systemic fraud statewide, and probably trillions nationwide at this point.
During this time, I had a patient who was being milked dry of her Medicare benefits and was about to be forced to pay out-of-pocket to stay in the facility. I advocated for her, fought the system, and successfully got her discharged to her own home so she wouldn't be financially ruined. Because she and I threw a spotlight on the massive financial waste and the fact that she was being held there unnecessarily, the company targeted me. I was kicked out of the building for using the "F-word"—Fraud. When I reported the systemic corruption to my higher-ups, I was told bluntly: "Fareena, you are not going to rock the boat."
My very last patient in healthcare proved exactly what true healing is about. I took on a man who hadn't walked in over a month. Through pure motivation, restoring his will to live, personal determination, and deep faith, he walked out of that facility just two weeks later. He was incredibly grateful. Experiencing that miracle firsthand filled me with an undeniable connection to God and a higher power. When I shared this profound spiritual joy, my boss told me I was "manic" and suggested I go on medication. That was the exact moment I told them to go fuck themselves and I refused to sell my soul! I quit healthcare for good in 2015.
I didn't stay silent. I reported the massive fraud to the Medicare fraud hotline and reached out to local news stations like KARE 11. Instead of an investigation, I was met with a wall of silence. I was told there was nothing to look into, banned and trespassed from facilities, labeled as crazy, and ostracized by the industry, so-called friends, family and the entire community. They collectively tried to ruin my reputation to protect their profits and reputation.
Following this, I spiraled into the deepest depression of my life and was completely ready to peace the fuck out. Seeing our senior citizens—the veterans and hard-working Americans who built this amazing nation—treated so poorly, sucked dry, and used as mere cash cows broke my heart and gave me little will to live myself. I felt that if America was corrupt at that level, there was nowhere on the planet I wanted to be.
The following year, everything shifted when I had a Near-Death Experience (NDE). During that experience, I was told to trust God’s Trump card. That divine message is the exact reason I stuck around on this timeline.
You cannot break a person driven by a higher purpose. I have spent the last decade quietly building, healing, and working on myself. Now, the silence is over. I am about to make the biggest COME BACK the world has ever seen.
It is time to Make Earth Great Again. #WorldPeace
