What a powerful story. Take the time to read it beginning to end.

Amazing story, that while Drew was fighting for his life he was fighting for his identity too.

Wow! That is one tough dude. Fantastic and inspiring story, despite the soap opera-ish writer doing his best to ruin it.

we always see these stories about people getting screwed by corporations. it's rare we see a story where people gain more than a hard lesson. im glad this was on consumerist
And yet another \"that really sucks\" point: the bad guy, Richard Gibson, is to date the ONLY person to be prosecuted criminally for a HIPAA violation.
That sounded like a \"House\" episode. The guy definitley has perceverience.
Good for him. I wish him the best, and hope it stays in remission.
I'd like to see a heartless bastard try to blame the victum here......
Richard Gibson should have his pumpkin exploded with a sledgehammer. No remorse. You have to be lower than dirt to do this to someone whom you KNOW is sick and possibley dying. So sad...

Wow, I'm just glad he won and survived
@Imaginary_Friend: Agreed. The article was kind of painful to read at points but it was a cool story.
Maybe his desire to set the record straight gave him the strength to still be here today...
