Unsilenced Voices
Patient Testimony & Support for VCUG Trauma

"I don’t have the memory, but my body does. I had no idea other people were traumatized by this, too. It’s a living nightmare."
— Former VCUG Patient
"They wouldn’t let my mom in, and I had 4 people holding me down. My mom said she heard me screaming down the hall and they finally let her come in."
— Former VCUG Patient
"I’m so glad I came across [Unsilenced]. So many people have gaslit me about my child’s trauma. I can see the effects though, so many years later. No one else believes me."
— Former VCUG Patient
"Had a VCUG when I was 4. Everything about that day is still so vivid in my mind. Was told I needed to stop screaming and that if I stopped moving, it would be over sooner. I am still terrified of hospitals."
— Former VCUG Patient
