I was a cancer and AK amputee patient at Mayo Rochester. Went in for routine post op scan, and my Chest CT showed a new nodule consistent with a recent infection. Doc Lewis, my oncologist, asked if there was any reason for this...I said yes, I had a good old fashioned head cold last week. Brought home from my daughters elementary school, and passed through the house like every cold in history. Lasted about 2 days, and treated with OTC. He and I then joked around about what variant we should call the original 1985 AMA head cold! He laughed, and seemed to understand my sarcasm...he is from Trinidad....this becomes important later.
I finished that appointment with no issue, and went to Ortho Oncology to review my amputation progress. The nurse entered in full covid combat gear. Mr. XYZ, do you have covid? Um....no. Your records show you have covid.....Um, again...no, I am healthy. Well, Dr. Lewis reports you have Covid.
Ma'am, there has been a misunderstanding, I had a cold last week, thus explaining my chest CT. He and I jested about what variant that would be. Perhaps he did not get my sarcasm, as he is from Trinidad. I am pretty sure he understood, but there could be a communication issue.
You need to take a test Mr. XYZ or we will refuse service....well, I didn't take a test, and was escorted out of the building like a leper.
I looked up Doc Lewis' clinical notes...he reported that I had had a recent NON-NOVEL CORONAVIRUS....the truth. Then I looked up the nurses notes...Mr. XYZ was joking around about having Covid 19, so we are refusing services to him as he has refused testing. There is a big difference between Non-novel, and novel....but even then I was fine with the refusal of service that day, and did not make a fuss. I did request that the nurse update my records with the truth and not a narrative supporting Dr. Houdek's action's to refuse service. She refused to answer my request. Two days later, Doc Lewis changed his notes from "Non-novel" to Mr. XYZ presented with C-19, and I suggested that he be tested, a test was ordered! That never happened, and I called them out on it.
All I asked for, was for my records to indicate the truth and reflect the original entries, and they refused...three days later I am banned for life due to my racist and verbally abusive behavior for referring to Doc Lewis as Doc Trinidad, with his permission! When I first met him, I asked where he was from...I have spent a lot of time in that area sailing. I love the folks, the culture, and the environment. He and I talked about our common history and visitation of the area....I asked him if I could call him Doc Trinidad, as I had met about 50 folks that day, and would not remember everyone's name...."ABSOLUTELY...that would be great!!!"
The cover up is always bigger than the crime. I scared someone on the legal team with my emails....Fortunately, I had already begun the transfer of service to another facility, as I no longer trusted Mayo. I don't trust any of them anymore...C-19 theater has destroyed the integrity of all medical facilities.
Since I happen to be familiar with all these Govt regulations, according to the 21 Century Cures Act you have the right to request all your medical records electronically. Just for fun, request ALL your records, medical images and clinical notes on a USB drive. This includes all records in 3rd party applications outside the EMR. They may charge you a fee, but you should have all these records for refusal of treatment lawsuit and falsifying medical records. These hospitals are out of control.
I assume EMR = emergency room?
Nope, Electronic Medical Record
Gotcha ya! Thanks for the clarification fren
Yes Your Electronic Medical Records are probably in Epic or Cerner (Cabal companies). I’m sure the plant was for the Govt to take over these companies. And you have a right to ALL records which includes all clinical notes. Request ALL!
you're doing what you have to in this situation, but if you have the stomach for it, SUE.
many blessings on your continuing recovery, fren.
Last Sunday's service was on the Beattitudes....Blessed are the Meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Really struggling with the meek part right now....but what good really comes from a lawsuit, just to prove them wrong. But damn I like proving them wrong...LOL
The good that comes from a lawsuit is they don't do that anymore.
So the next person who comes in who has less resources than you and NEEDS to go to this clinic won't get treated that way.
Valid point.
It's the same reason why over on plebbit they circle jerk about class action lawsuits being worthless to everybody but the lawyers who get their big payout in the end + the notoriety it comes with. As a plaintiff among many your cut of the pie is very very minimal. The real power comes from actually managing to get these monolithic organizations to change their ways because the only thing they care about is money. They can settle with a bunch of poor people and just consider it a small loss that can be covered with their massive profit margins. The game changes the moment people unite and take them on. That's a qdrop that stuck with me after crossing over the nontarded side.
Oh it’s coming. It’s gonna take forever due to the circumstances with the all the different government agencies, but the class action lawyers are coming.
I told all my idiot co-workers the same thing. Give it a few years and you will all be calling the 1-800 number to sign up for class action lawsuits. Just like all the other failed drugs.
There is no industry to powerful for class action lawsuits. It’s gonna make the tobacco settlements and Volkswagen emission fraud seem insignificant. But it’s gonna take forever. I wouldn’t hold my breath for a payout if I was vaxxed.
The truth in your comment CANNOT be overstated.
100% ... a legal complaint filed in a court of law may not reap any financial gain, but you can bet your ass it will most definitely deter that kind of repugnant behavior in the future. Likely won't prevent it, but if they did it to you, they will do it to someone else.
I would say I'm shocked by OPs story, but I'm not. The medical establishment is full of Karens. I mean packed to the fucking gills with them.
I hear ya. the point is they take taxpayer dollars. They’re fabricating your medical record (for Covid payments). They showed extreme prejudice against you for trying to correct your chart. An inaccurate medical history puts your health and safety at risk.
Accusations of “racist” or “verbally abusive” behavior would be documented — words and statements that can be evaluated. (For example, when they ask about level of pain, they record a number on a pain scale as a way to define an objective measure of a subjective experience). What words did they document? What “words” (in their notes) are “racist,” etc.? Perhaps they were being “able-ist” toward you?
Whether they recommend or require a therapy or test, they still must get your informed consent. If you declining a test allows them to decline treating you, they must give you notice. Can they produce their written policy? Did you meet their standard for mandatory testing?
You passed entry screening. No test required
You already had a procedure (CT Scan). No test required.
It was at the handoff (where most medical errors occur) that you discovered a significant medical error and tried to correct it immediately.
Would discovery risk exposing how many other charts are fabricated (false Covid claims) to collect higher reimbursements?
You were treated appallingly, but this is about a larger justice — especially for all those being abused in this way that do not have as strong and clear voice as you.
Jesus was meek, yet He still whipped the money-changers.
You're right. OP could very well contact a lawyer and threaten criminal charges. Mayo may very well settle out of court to prevent discovery.
Underrated comment. This.
I love that title.
Great.
Meek is not small or useless. Meek is unassuming and unexpectedly powerful. A horse is an example of a meek animal.
Lawsuit sounds in order
It’s fun to make fun of the insanity, because that is a very healthy way to cope, but Leftists have no sense of humor. As Dan Bongino says—We think they are nice people with bad ideas, but they think we are bad people with ideas. It comes from Thomas Sowell’s book, “Conflict of Visions” in which they consider themselves the elite. But in times like this, show their true selves—intolerant, ill humored, lying, unethical scoundrels.
Falsifying records is actionable with the medical board and the nursing board. Good luck!
Good for you!
I wanted to say just that. Good for you, it's also good to know that you can refuse the test & that's a great way to prevent you from getting restrained as a covid patient & ventilated to death.
Interesting read. Lucky for me, I am a healthy younger individual and have not been into a medical facility for a few years. But when I do, I am shopping around for a medical professional, not someone who pretends to be.
Start shopping now, when you don’t need one.
It’s time we’ll spent.
Get your record including all annotated date stamped edits. They have them and your record is your property. HIPAA s "P" is portability, they can never refuse you your record so record them going it and retire on the lawsuit.
Mayo is the worst place I ever worked for. They are nothing but Commie Fags. Your better off somewhere else. A place that they actually care about patients. I always tell people to go somewhere other than Mayo. The fuckers are also pushing that 4th shot real hard! The Mayo intranet page looks like a LGBTQ home page. They are sooo “inclusive” and then fired 700 unvaxed workers. To Hell with Mayo!
Did you by chance save or print out the doctor & nurses notes to prove they changed them?
Yep 😉
Dude… start calling some based lawyers. Mayo has money too. They’d probably do it with no retainer. Even if you don’t get a lot of money just to take them down a couple notches would be a good thing.
The fact is you’re better off without them. The fact is hospitals can’t be trusted, and I’d recommend going for home remedies instead of another corrupt facility.
This reminds me of the author of "Travels With Lisbeth," an account of being temporarily homeless. He checked into a hospital with phlebitis and made a joke about Richard Nixon because Nixon once had phlebitis. They decided he was mentally ill and fixated on Nixon and tried to keep him from leaving voluntarily. Medical professionals don't get humor.
Kek…. That’s a scary thought.
The mayo clinic is garbage. If you want to change doctors, you have to file for permission from the office manager and they will review your request in 4 weeks. That's actually their policy that you have no control over the doctor you see. I switched from mayo to a "direct primary care" doctor last year and it's been s much better experience. I can text my doctor and he usually answers within 1 or 2 hours. How's that for remote care?
After I first got married, my wife kept bugging me to get an annual checkup, because that's what wives do.
I ended up scheduling an appointment just to shut her up, and passed my physical with flying colors. Blood work was outstanding, etc.
Doctor asked me what my secret was and I deadpanned something to the effect of "I eat whole foods and stay away from people like you."
The micro-expression on his face before I laughed and feigned sarcasm was priceless.
Haven't seen a doctor for a checkup since. I do go to the dentist regularly for routine cleanings and use an oral irrigator AKA Water Pik on a daily basis. Dental health and eating right is my focus.
AK amputee
When I had covid I had to go to Mayo and one of the nurses deprived me of oxygen, then bullied me into taking remdesivir. Place is full of scumbags.
Just by complying to take a Covid-19 test you open yourself up to be labeled and tracked as a positive case, for your own safety of course! Does not matter if the test is a lie it just needs to be publicly accepted.
Complying to a cop's request to a field sobriety test opens you up subjective discrimination.
Next thing would be that you can't trust your doctor to not make up shit to put on your medical record. I bet lots of patients don't even review their doctor visit notes. Some notes are hidden from patients too.
Sadly the machine has told you to go die.
This is the future they want for us. Comply or you get no healthcare.
Pretty much. They’re already acclimating us to robots with these liberal drones.
That’s really corrupted of them
The integrity of medical facilities has always been bad, it’s just that C-19 has exposed it.
It sounds like folks should be wearing body cams for medical appts nowadays. Just to keep them honest. Any monkey business and you have proof. Now that we know the medical industry is full of liars and abusive dicks, having videographic proof might just change the system. Just tell them that it is for your safety and theirs, just like law enforcement in the performance of their duties. The video is of your treatment only, so it should violate no privacy issues
Well, it certainly PROVED they have no integrity, and not even much common human decency.
C19 didn't destroy the integrity of all medical facilities, it exposed it.
The entire medical institution has been heinously corrupt for decades, but COVID showed us just where their loyalties lie.
Doctors are nothing but street thug drug dealers with a license from the government to deal drugs. The only difference between them and the guy you can buy meth from on the street corner is one spent eight years in government funded collegiate institutions to get a piece of paper that lets them sell meth to you without going to prison.
And for certain conditions, such as my coworker's narcolepsy, YES they actually prescribe meth to him legally.
They have always been crooks you just finally realized it.
More people that walk around freely.
You did well. Thanks for posting.
It's absolute hysteria out there. Don't go to corporatized medical networks anymore. They're an extension of the fascist state.
People have lost their dang minds man!! Sounds to me like you handled that better than me. Taking notes..
I could have went on w/o commenting until I read he accused you of being racists which btw makes no sense to me unless he believes he comes from a shithole. Back to the point, go to the Medical Board for your state online. There should be a place for patient/client complaints. I think the argument will be, if you plan to get anywhere, is that you were lead to believe that he too was skeptical of Covid and that the extravagant precautions were just that—overkill. Had you not gone to another dept but instead left, you would never have known that he thought any different. And if he thought you might be positive and went straight home and died, would his notes say that he attempted to test and treat you? Essentially, if he suspected you to be Covid pos what did he do about it? Not a damn thing!
You also need to show that you exhausted all possible avenues of remedy - make your complaints everywhere appropriate - makes your case stronger (also, having a PI atty review your wording first might be of benefit)
LOL
Gotta love how each country is now its own RACE. If you say the name of any country, you are now racist against the inhabitants of that country.
That way, all the country names can disappear, along with their borders. One big country. Yay! All of us on the same team! No more competition! Just imagine!
There's no country, no need for greed or hunger, no possessions, a brotherhood of man, all the people sharing all the world, living life in peace! Anyone who's against this panacea must really be a bad nazi orange person!
The divisive dividers of the alt left and their division...smh
You seem very upset about getting banned from a place you didn't want to be.
Nobody "wants" to be at a hospital for anything. Dont be obteuse.
Think you will find alot of people spend alot of $$ for education so they can be employed. More to the point literally anyone who had a life saving operation had a immense desire to be healed. I myself spent 45 days in the hospital after being clinically dead. I had tried unsuccessfully over the prior year to have what would have been a "normal" surgery. Instead I got to the point where they said you need surgery NOW! Hand me a form & skip the whole what have you eaten/drank, medications list, or anything because of the whole death thing. I spent plenty of time TRYING to go to the hospital, then NEEDING the hospital to save me. So save me the noone WANTS to go to the hospital drathering. Was it fun? NO. However I saw people literally gain their eyesight who seemed positively thrilled from their arrival through their stay. In this country you're more than welcome to die at home never having gone to the hospital. Even people who end up in the hospital are offered to leave AMA. So every adult in a hospital has CHOSEN to be there.
Sorry for your ordeal but i fail to see where you, or anyone, "wants" to be at a hospital. Given the choice, aside from having no other (as you described), no one relishes going to hospital for anything.
Youre confusing want with no other choice, in your case. Theres a hell of a lot more that go when they dont need it....like all this covid bullshit. Sure thats a choice, but its borne of ignorance more than a real need.
