Lies, Shitty Days and IME'S....Lessons Learned
01/09/25 • 27 min
Ever wondered why mental health injuries like PTSD face more skepticism than physical wounds? Join me, Aaron, as I peel back the layers of my personal battle with the workers' compensation system and the emotional labyrinth of the Independent Medical Examination (IME) process. Picture recounting your darkest memories not once, but repeatedly, to a system that questions your pain. It's a journey riddled with frustration and the stark realization that promises of solidarity from city and union often ring hollow.
Throughout this episode, I share the raw and unfiltered reality of healing from trauma. Imagine navigating a two-and-a-half year storm of medication and therapy, only to find your past traumas resurfacing at every turn. Listen in as I chat with a friend who shares my struggle with PTSD, discussing the power of vocalizing our experiences and the challenge of separating memory from its emotional heft. Even as progress is made, the struggle to accurately convey the depth of mental health challenges in official records remains a daunting battle.
In a candid exploration of identity and career upheaval, I reflect on my life as a former police officer and musician. The loss of these aspects of my identity, akin to losing a part of oneself, is compounded by a system that should be supportive but often isn't. By sharing my story, I hope to offer a beacon of perseverance and understanding to those caught in similar maelstroms, encouraging you not to let the bureaucracy or your personal battles define you. Let’s shine a light on these challenges and strive for the empathy and support we all deserve.
Gift For You!!! Murders to Music will be releasing "SNAPSHOTS" periodcally to keep you entertained throughout the week! Snapshots will be short, concise bonus episodes containing funny stories, tid bits of brilliance and magical moments!!! Give them a listen and keep up on the tea!

Typical Tuesday: "The Barn at 13 Below"...A Story of Survival
Flashback to 2017, where an early morning call in Rockwood unraveled a chilling story of domestic violence and abduction. What began as a routine response turned into a heart-pounding investigation that revealed the dark underbelly of coercive control and manipulation.
The tense journey continued as we pieced together a woman's traumatic experience—her story of being lured into captivity by a former partner, Austin, who wielded fear like a weapon. Trapped in a barn for days, she faced unspeakable torment, but her unwavering spirit guided us through the murky waters of her captivity and the harrowing decisions she made to protect her family. This episode illuminates the terrifying tactics employed by abusers and the silent battles victims endure, often sacrificing their own safety for their loved ones.
In the throes of a complex legal battle, the quest for justice took unexpected twists. The evidence seemed undeniable, yet a technicality turned our hard-fought conviction upside down. This narrative underscores the frustrating intricacies of the judicial system, where even the strongest cases can falter. Despite the setback, our determination remains unshaken as we continue to support victims in their pursuit of safety and justice, highlighting the harsh realities faced in the ongoing struggle against domestic violence and legal obstacles.
