The thing about writing lengthy letters is, no one will take it serious, mainly because people tend to overkill it and in doing so contradict themselves. case in point (Taking examples straight from your own letter)
"I grabbed the bag that I had gate checked and went inside,"
Ok was this the same bag that you had all your medication, clothes, etc? The same bag that you did not want them to gate check prior to boarding your later flight? Why do you say you were forced to gate check it when just prior you had no qualms with gate checking it?
You're a seasoned traveler, 31 years, and yet you spend your time trying to get a gate agent to check on your flight? First you already had someone set it up, so that should have relieved any panic you had after you landed and were delayed from your first leg. It would have been much easier to call reservation, let them find, confirm, and fix any problems with your ticket. Heck because of their delay and your missed connection, they would/ should have rebooked you with no problem. (I commend United for this. I'm sorry I love flying United, they do a great job taking care of me and I will always frequent them with my business, my choosing).
Then there is the medication, which you are more than aware of, but then you are upset that they made you gate check your bag that you had already done so once (you even state they changed the previous tag with pen)
If you've been through this before, then this misconnect should have been easy to go through, avoiding all the agent hassle. People if you feel your gonna be stuck on a tarmac and might miss a connection, if you have a fully charged cellphone, call reservations to check on your connection and insure there is a backup.
and always keep meds in a carry on luggage. never in a bag that will be checked at the counter or gate.
