Student on road to recovery thanks to Richland

Ryan Bingham Duff Staff Writer

On Sept. 28 last year, 62-year-old international student Jian Liu was severely injured in an automobile accident. Liu said that her husband was driving her to the Richland campus. The car was totaled, and she was taken by the Garland Fire Department EMS to the emergency room at the Methodist Richardson Medical Center.

“All the doctors who I tried to see,” at MRMC “they all refused to see me. The reason is they do not take car accident patient(s)! I am suffering physical pain and mental pain. Most time I had to lay on the bed. I can’t sleep, [I have] nightmares, [I’m] scared, and I walk [with] a cane.”

Liu said that MRMC referred her to the office of Dr. Randall Graham of the Methodist Dallas Medical Center, after taking her X-ray as they did not have a neurologist. “I contacted his office, 29th of September but his office told me that they don’t take car accident patient,” even though she was referred to him from the MRMC ER.

Graham, who has a five-star rating according to healthgrades.com, threebestrated.com, and Yelp, could not be reached for comment.

On Oct. 7, approximately 10 days after the accident, Liu was unable to find medical assistance. In desperation, she reached out to the Dallas Morning News. A spokesperson said
