Denis Cortese, M.D., President & CEO Of Mayo Clinic Allows huge abuses by surgical and other medical staff members; half workups, surgeries without thought, then has his office staff hang up on you after the mess. Rochester Minnesota
This is on ripoff because Dr. Cortese's staff hung up on me several times last week, and Jill Beed cancelled her email on me after my emailing her the workup that I should have gotten before an unnecessary surgery in 1999 that is a mess to this day. Dr. Sarr, Dr. Audrey Nelson and others just did things and made assessments over the years with no labwork, consultation or thought. And this has wrecked my life and career. Because once Mayo doesn't do the workup, then everyone has an excuse for not doing it, and once Mayo botches a surgery it's a real mess of everything being cut and taken out for show.
First Dr. Sarr. In 1999, I came to the Mayo Clinic to straighten out a missed diagnosis problem in Ohio from 1991. In 1991 I presented to the Mayo Clinic with 3 fractures and piles of complications and symptoms. The Mayo Clinic saved the tendon in one wrist, worked me up for multiple myeloma (which I didn't have), and told me I was 'melting' in Wizard of Oz terms. They read the Wizard of Oz at Mayo Clinic, but not their own publications. The endocrine bone consult guy, a national name, refused to do an estradiol, or anything evaluating hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis or even a TSH to evaluate thyroid function as it is supposed to be evaluated. Over the years I had then inflammation in an old incision, and presented with abdominal wall pain to Dr. Sarr in 1999 (and other symptoms that I had other appointments for). I thought that it was another suture abscess and agreed, with no workup just his extrapolations about the glory of Mayo Clinic, to a LIMITED LOCAL PROCEDURE TO clean out any facial scar tissue or old suture. It was to be under local, no anesthesia, and I was to be awake to make any decisions about going further. I said NO 3 times to muscle dissections or taking out any nerves or neuromas - that was my judgment and RIGHT as the patient. It was not to be a procedure into the muscles, and I tried to tell Dr. Sarr that I was there at Mayo for further workup of other symptoms and problems - which Dr. Sarr didn't discuss except to try to force me to have a resident do the procedure - which was totally inappropriate and gross. I was at Mayo for workup of premature OVARIAN failure and other auto-immune symptoms - but Dr. Sarr didn't listen and proceeded apparently to plan a NEUROMA surgery. He had an intern and student come in the procedure the next day, both knew NOTHING about the case and had very limited experience (they were help that would have been refused to be in on other surgeries = the worst kind of help as I had refused that they be part of mine). Dr. Sarr was told that a condition of the surgery was that I was to be awake, and that he was to do every step becuase of the other problems. All of that went in one ear and out the other apparently. Dr. Sarr is arrogant, narcissistic, self-serving and doesn't have to do the normal pre-op stuff at Mayo; he has a special expedited clearance arrangement = no questions asked by the surgical clearance.
Dr. Sarr had me put under anesthesia at the last moment, never checked the labs for other things, and allowed Dr. M. Baghai - who didn't even know where the pain was or anything about the case - to start fishing in my fascia. And fish and multilate she did as she couldn't cut at this point in her career. Then Dr. Sarr felt 'something' and started cutting into muscles without any scans, biopsy or workup in a SETTING of OVARIAN FAILURE OF UNDETERMINED ETIOLOGY and possibily auto-immune problems = the family history which he didn't bother to check on. He just lost it in any Chief of Surgery sense.
Dr. Sarr made a mess. And the muscles all need to be repaired, and we need a name as to who can do this. But Dr. Sarr left me with a swollen abdominal mess, smelling of the BLACK MEDICAL STUDENT'S sweat or secretions or whatever he chose to do to me without any family member present. It was was BLACK SWEAT SMELL. The dressing and closure were horrific and mutilating - totally embarassing. There was no need for the surgery after the fascia layer; the 'normal' nerve was inflammed but I mostly likely had active auto-immune thyroiditis at the time causing some of the problem. Nothing medical is every considered by surgeons - even Mayo Clinic Chief's. And needed a scan later on my ovaries anyway. So Dr. Sarr made a lifetime mess for several hundred dollars of Mayo Clinic building fund money apparently and to SHOW something to the student and intern = a normal nerve was removed. I asked that no student or intern be in the room doing anything, because I wasn't sure of the 'SHOW' and didn't want to be cut up because attendings feel the pressure to do something or show something with an audience of intern, resident or student. It changes the surgery to bring that kind of 'help' in = why I refused that any intern, resident or student be allowed to do anything in my case.
Dr. Sarr needlessly and dangerously put me through an inindicated procedure mutilating me for life. Why?
Not only that I couldn't stay then at Mayo Clinic, shocked and mutilated as I was with parents being concerned, or withstand an evaluation in gynecology = what I came for mainly. I was ripped apart and smelling of the black student until I got the dressings off. But the scar was horrible; neither Dr. Baghai or the student had any skills whatsoever - as Jill Beed likes it and makes sure happens. So I didn't get the workup, had 5 more fractures before the workup was done, and had to undergo EXTENSIVE plastic surgery in Ohio in 1999. And the Medical Board mess, that I disagreed with the wrong care of a rare medical diagnosis in Ohio, is still ongoing. If Mayo Clinic can do bad care then everyone else can the world over, and Mayo Clinic did very bad, deficient and malpractice care in my case. And still thinks that the answer is to hang up and bounce my emails.
Now none of this was necessary. In 1991, Dr. Nelson should have done all the workup for a female patient having premature fractures and symptoms = thyroid, endocrine, and bone with no excuses that I was just 'melting' and come back in a year or so. It was pure laziness and arrogance by all concerned except the orthopedic. But the orthopedic was hampered with a trail of 5 watchers everytime that I saw him; my mother had to chase his hangers-on out. In 1998, Dr. Sarr then should have allowed the whole workup (even if he had read the chart from before it would have been alarming for a normal physician/surgeon, but not his suave ego), and not been 'jumping the gun' doing an unnecessary surgery to make sure that Mayo got their chance at cutting me. CUT BABY CUT is his/Dr. Cortese's mantra.
No surgery should be done or considered without the whole workup at Mayo Clinic, and that is Dr. Cortese's fault and his leadership problem. But the lies, nastiness, and hangups that have gone on since are even worse as to resolving things and getting the muscles repaired. The lies that Dr. Sarr knew what he was doing, or did even part of the procedure, are just so hurtful - who did or made the judgments about all the cutting are still in question after 2 operative reports. No intern or student should be in on any surgery where they didn't do any of the care or workup, or where they didn't ask the permission of the patient. Jill Beed needs to have PATIENT CONSENT FORMS as I didn't consent to the surgery that I got that day, but it was just assumed that Mayo Clinic could do whatever they wanted with my body. It kept me from the workup and care that I needed that week, and probably wasn't necessary after a nerve block and treatment for the auto-immune thyroiditis causing the inflammation elsewhere.
Dr. Cortese you need to speak to me and stop allowing this kind of care and scenario = you are completely totally irresponsible, negligent, and cruel.

Women patients are advised to stay far away from Dr. Michael Sarr and his abdominal cutting procedures to remove nerves - Dr. Cortese & his office staff should get the procedure before allowing it - it would be banned
#21Author of original report
Tue, May 12, 2009
Dr. Michael Sarr will cut a women patient's abdominal muscles up - all of them - without a workup - as he's scheduled on the next plane out of Rochester - Dr. Cortese lets him abuse and cut up women without spending the time to justify the surgery or do the workup = to fill surgical slots with carving up anything that walks in Mayo Clinic. Maybe they should try more cadavers. Then Dr. Sarr can't sew what he cuts up back together again - hands too big, glasses, no hand-eye coordination to speak up - just cut and sew the mess all up together and say the patient is 'crazy' if they don't like it - he says the muscles that he cut are 'too small' = poor excuse for a jerk.
Women will never get their abdominal muscles back after this, have sex without pain, hug someone without pain, and the deformity will show through your clothing - Dr. Sarr's procedures don't heal and he never does post-op care - never checks if you can wear a bathing suit again as long as he can. Dr. Sarr will get rid of you as a patient as soon as he gets the insurance check - doesn't care how much he has mutilated - that other parents don't want their daughters carved up for his amusement - just as long as it isn't his daughter he will cut.
Dr. Sarr threatens and abuses parents of his women patients - who questioned his butcheries saying 'didn't he have a daughter?' or 'some sense?' His daughter needs to be cut up with one of his procedures - then he'd see and hear the pain and tears - you wake up to a surgery that Dr. Sarr has never discussed, a surgery that even a woman physician-patient couldn't imagine anyone doing on anyone for any reason - let alone $. It's unimagineable HORROR.
Dr. Sarr gets rid of women MDs by deforming them and cutting them up without reason, workup, sense or humanity - it's a Dr. Mengele surgery in present day MN - allowed by Dr. Cortese - who needs this procedure done on himself. Even the best law firm in MN can't defend this bad behavior, bad judgement, and surgical abuse - but Mayo Clinic will use the money to try. Dr. Sarr arranges the anesthesia even for women patients - who he doesn't think have a brain - he tells the stupid anesthesiologists at Mayo that the patient has agreed to an anesthesia -when it hasn't been discussed except that that patient has said 'local' - which Dr. Sarr just overrides. It's just horrible care, medicine, and carving up of human tissue for money.
Dr. Cortese doesn't check on Dr. Sarr's butcheries, his cutting of every muscle off the midline of women patients - Jill Beed Esq thinks it's funny - Dr. Cortese's staff should be made to undergo the Dr. Sarr procedure - just for 'fun' like he does to patients. Dr. Sarr should try it on his wife and daughter - maybe he would have more kindness, thoughtfullness, study before he cuts and mutilates. Better is expected of Mayo Clinic - that they do the workup and offer patients the list of options.
You will also need a 'cop,' or family member in scrubs, in the OR surgical suite to keep the resident/student hands off the patient (like Brennan & Booth do on BONES) - when they don't know the case and don't have to - they just strut in and expect that everyone else does the patient screening pre-op and post-op; Mayo Clinic doesn't do post-op or evenpre-op. The Medical Students & Residents are arrogant, cut anything, and don't contribute to the case or care - they won't question anything and that's what they should be doing - they are non-contributory ballast.
Students & residents at Mayo Clinic don't practice suturing before they come in the room, they don't take 'No,' they just mutilate and destroy - like their Chief. Dr. Cortese approves.

The Dr. Sarr procedure is obsolete with endoscopic surgery - he knew that - yet you allow him to butcher abdominal walls. Have him cut you up next time for money. It should not require someone in the OR to police that students don't come in on a case if requested that they don't, that a resident not try to do a surgery without knowing the case. Dr. Sarr lied and the Mayo Clinic supported this, Jill Beed thinks this is ok.

#21Author of original report
Mon, May 04, 2009
- a complete workup - with scans, blood work and the old Mayo Clinic stuff. Then you should be honest about mistakes and who in the country can 'fix' them; doing surgeries that no one ever heard of to remove normal nerves for medical student/resident experience is not ok? Ever hear of cadavers or TSH tests? Agreeing to a limited procedure to remove scar tissue does not equate with cutting every single abdominal muscle and not being able to sew them back - multilation of the worst kind. And the State Medical Board of MN should not be allowing this - there's no indication that the woman patient knew the procedure that Dr. Sarr did - the risks, the results, the pain.
You should only be cutting what you can put back - not anatomy or skills you don't know or have.
Dr. Sarr is a Mengele-type monster - who assumes you want his 'experiment' even though you tell him 3 times on every count 'No' - parents call and he lies to them, lies to the staff at Mayo Clinic that he 'did the closure' - not in the last 20 years.
Dr. Baghai, or any resident/intern, shouldn't be in on a case, with any scalpel, cutting anything, when they don't know the case or have the permission of the patient - didn't ever examine the patient. This is abuse, rape, and outrageous behavior for the Mayo Clinic or any clinic in any state. Cutting and removing tissues that are 'normal' is not normal -you can clean off inflammation and get MRI scans before you cut muscles = MEDICAL SCHOOL 101. If you don't recognize normal tissue, you shouldn't be a surgeon. This is outrageous surgical behavior that you sanction. Do you have a brain, a neuron, or any common sense?

I read the Ohio Medical Board report.
The Board told you what conditions to comply with before the Board would re-instate your medical license.
YOU chose NOT to comply-your license was NOT re-instated.
Get over it. Your continual posting of your rants (15 years after the fact) only demonstrates that the [Board directed] evaluation of you that indicated you very likely have a mental disorder that prevented you from practicing medicine in an acceptable manner was correct.
These internet rants of yours are not helping you get your medical license re-instated. Just the opposite: you're convincing folks that you SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE MEDICINE and that the action taken by the Board was correct and appropriate.
Hopefully, you will seek out and obtain the treatment you need.
P.S. EVERYONE can't be wrong Rita. Why is it that according to YOU, everyone else misdiagnoses conditions/prescribes incorrect treatment? Your license to practice medicine is GONE and all your irrational internet rants are not goin to get it back for you.

There was no WORKUP of the abdominal wall pains and I didn't agree to any muscle dissections or denervation procedures, just a look to assess the problems and remove suture/scar tissue from ABOVE THE MUSCLES
#21Author of original report
Mon, January 19, 2009
Dr. Cortese there was no workup, no injection, no differential diagnosis - just butchery for instant money. And the NERVE WAS NORMAL, just inflammed - the foreign debris was a lie like the rest of the operative report. The muscles need to be repaired and each sewn to their respective fascias. There was no consent to this EXTREME procedure. This is malpractice, neglect, cruelty, and terrible care of woman patients for male egos. Dr. Michael Sarr was too busy in between his speaking engagements to do the workup, so he just filled a surgical slot and make the case into what he wanted - and he was wrong. This is terrible patient abuse sanctioned by Jill Beed Esq. Over 50% of patients will improve with injection of the neuroma = not allowed at Mayo Clinic. No patient should go NEAR Dr. Sarr with an abdominal wall pain problem, nerve inflammation or old suture material - he doesn't have the time or patience to work through the problem.

And while you're at it Dr. Cortese you might refresh your staff on thyroiditis and ordering TSHs ie Dr. Audrey Nelson's mistake years ago.

While you are at it Dr. Cortese, perhaps you might remind your staff - even though you publish books on it - that a thyroid panel is required for checking thyroid function, a panel including a TSH level. Helps diagnose subclinical hypothyroidism = real hypothyroidism.
You can't just check a thyroxine level and assume that everything is ok. That error cost huge in my life. Also Dr. Lufkin couldn't order estradiol, PTH, calcium studies or anything to help diagnose the cause of the fracturing in 1991; I was just 'melting' as the Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. Well I hope that you 'melt' too - without any blood work.

Dr. Denis Cortese hires Chiefs of General Surgery who cut every abdominal muscle fascia for 'big hands' and then can't resew them - no skills.
#21Author of original report
Thu, December 18, 2008
Dr. Cortese hires surgeons like Dr. Michael Sarr - who cut all the abdominal muscles of women patients, when they can't figure out a 'swelling' that they didn't study or scan, and then these surgeons can't sew the muscles to each individual fascia again = no skill. Women are to be 'sewn' up and disfigured for teaching - it was not for 'do no harm.'
Dr. Cortese needs to answer some questions and to hire surgeons who don't cut what they can't repair. These muscles were apparently big enough to cut, but so damaged after Dr. Sarr and his 2 stooges that he couldn't sew them back, just as the stooges couldn't do the closure -which he was too busy to do. Everything was between the next 'flight out' for Dr. Sarr, between speaking engagements and promotions. If Dr. Sarr did the closure he was 'impaired' - and that's not what he said happened. But the medical student and the intern never ASKED to come in on the procedure, and both were REFUSED as part of the surgical consent, both knew NOTHING about me or the problem = ZERO. Both should have respected my wishes, and Dr. Sarr should do what the patient consents to and not add-on another 'extra' elective surgery. But no one believes in written, or any consent forms or consents, at Mayo Clinic Rochester = it's just cut for the money; cut baby cut. All monies paid to Mayo Clinic by Medical Mutual need to be returned; there was NO CONSENT to the procedure that Dr. Sarr did and no need. Just butchery passing as surgery, just bad judgment. But why didn't he possess the skills to re-suture what he ruined? John Hopkins trained, Mayo Clinic surgeon with no common sense.

Disturbed by a Jill Beed phone call to speak to my father - who Dr. Sarr has already lied to about a 'closure' that he didn't do.
#21Author of original report
Tue, November 18, 2008
Dr. Sarr probably hasn't done a surgical wound closure in 20 years - and he didn't do the closure in this 'neuroma' procedure. You know - physician's families come to Mayo Clinic for privacy, for difficult diagnoses or problems that are 'politically' charged at their local medical establishments (for a second opinion), and not to be used as 'demos' or for the experience of the residency/medical student staff - black, Baghai or WASP - they were all refused and that should have been respected. For re-do procedures, like this was, the patient HAD THE RIGHT to ask for Dr. Sarr's experience and honesty - not for what happened. You would want the same for your family or children - all my father wanted.
Recently Jill Beed tried to call Ohio and ask for my father - then hung up when it was obvious who it was. The situation can only be solved by honesty - the patient deserves to know what happened, the real facts and what can be done to undo the damage. Ripping someone apart so that they can no longer wear normal clothing without pain means that Dr. Sarr didn't think about things much - just to expose, rip apart, and do a teaching dissection - when it was obvious that the patient came for minimal surgery and non-invasive diagnosis = a chance to remain unscarred by Dr. Baghai and company.
Now you all need to behave better - starting with Jill Beed who should have mandated written consent forms for all surgical procedures - so that the patient feels that they won't suddenly wake up with a procedure that it was 'assumed' that they would like or pay for. The Mayo Clinic is completely non-ethical, non-professional and sadistic to woman patients. Our family needs the facts and any surgical names who repair Mayo Clinic mistakes - no further appointments at Mayo Clinic shop of horrors.

Dr. Cortese I need Dr. Sarr's surgery undone by whoever can undo it.
#21Author of original report
Fri, October 24, 2008
Dr. Cortese I did not agree, or even discuss with Dr. Sarr the possibility of his doing what he assumed he could do to me. There was no workup, no consultations, no discussions. It was assumed that he would stop if he found something in the muscle, work it up, and give me the surgical options after I consulted the other physicians that I had appointments with. I made no appointment with Dr. Sarr - I was turfed to him without a second question or thought. This is not ok. I was soft-spoken but insisted on being awake, as any girl would have, have the incision be closed by a plastics person and having only the above fascia layer cleaned of suture and scar tissue. Dr. Baghai didn't even know where the pain was in the incision - she should have been 'go-getting' and asking and doing some workup if she wanted to be part of anything. Instead Dr. Sarr was major babysitter, and didn't listen to anything - just cut baby cut and mutilate. I need the name of a surgeon outside of Mayo Clinic who can undo his mess and repair everything re the muscles. This was not a surgery THAT ANYONE WOULD HAVE AGREED TO GIVEN THE SPECIFICS - which is cruel, unethical, unprofessional and malpractice. This is your fault because of the way you run the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Cortese if hiring/training foreign or black EO students, interns & residents should show them his own peritoneum and allow them to take out his own 'normal' nerves instead of female patient abuses
#21Author of original report
Thu, October 23, 2008
Dr. Cortese allows that female patients/professionals are drugged with anesthesia, and then brings in foreign interns and black unqualified students to do procedures when they don't anything about the patient or the procedure - just a showtime. It's not the patient's job to train the kind of interns & students that are showing up these days - EO students mostly are allowed much lesser standards, grades etc and foreign Baghai interns don't know the case because they don't have to. Dr. Michael Sarr should also have them 'practice' on himself, his daughter and wife - not on someone else's daughter. He should sell them to his family for demonstrations; he spent over an hour trying to talk me into a favorite guy resident and it was that resident's job to be in the room doing that and selling himself or Dr. Baghai's.
The standards at Mayo Clinic, of diagnosis and surgical procedure, have gone to ground zero. In my situation the Mayo Clinic physicians didn't know the test to order for thryoid assessment - TSH even was too difficult for them to understand. They were too lazy to order an endocrine bone workup other than saying that, like the Wicked Witches in Wizard of Oz, I was 'melting' at 36 years of age. Well I wasn't as it turned out, but that was their 'differential' - just a joke but a costly one.
Procedures need to be done for patient reasons, not to show a failing student or subpar intern how to do things while the poor woman patient is under an anesthetic, and experimental airway, that she said 'NO' to. What they do is just check the box that you agreed and you don't even ititial this for patient conselt - so you donate everything to Mayo Clinic when you go there. My case needs to be OUTTED from that EXPERIMENTAL AIRWAY PUBLICATION; a mask was ok but no airway as I specifically told a very CORTICALLY DENSE Dr. Michael Sarr.
This is not correct. And then if you go over for a gynecological exam, you have two men waiting to grope you - the Chief and his foreign Fellow - both with not a clue how to diagnose or treat a female patient -just grope, lie and cover up the missed diagnosis of 1991.
If Mayo Clinic wants to do a procedure they should do the same workups and consultations as every other clinic, hospital and medical facility. That means I should have gotten an ultrasound and abdominal wall MRI before Dr. Michael Sarr did anything to me in 1998, along with a second surgical opinion from his major nemesis there - a spectrum of options. I asked that he not touch the muscles without offering me ALL THE OPTIONS - something that he would have made sure that his daughter got, but I was just professional TRASH to be cut up and discarded on Main Street. Dr. Michael Sarr, like Dr. Cortese, doesn't have time in between speaking engagements, flights to other academic institutions and his social calendar - like a lot of other Mayo Clinic dress-for-success physicians. Dr. Sarr should have had the pre-op testing before he scheduled anything, spoke to my parents if he was planning anesthesia, and the anesthesia guy should have seen me and gotten the 'NO' before 20 minutes before the procedure with the Baghais and blacks showing up like vultures or drooling dogs for a 'meal' of innocent patisnt. If a medical student, intern, or resident wants IN on a procedure it is his/her responsibility to ask the patient and review the chart. But Mayo Clinic trainees are too lazy, too worried about their Mont Blanc pens - like Audrey Nelson MD who couldn't write for a TSH, estradiol, FSH or anything else as it was too much strain on her fancy pen that she kept waving around the room in 1991.
If you want to show the trainees peritoneums, you have one to show. Take out your own normal nerves and cut up and shred your own abdominal muscles, but don't do it on date-rape-drugged women patients who trusted that THE Mayo Clinic would only do the procedure that they absolutely needed and not an exploration to end all explorations that can't heal for a decade. Jill Beed Esq is also responsible for this - no patient consent forms so that the Mayo Clinic can SUPERSIZE any procedure and workup to pay for her pens and vacations.
My parents were horrified, as any physician and nurse parents would have been JUST reading what Dr. Sarr did to me - it's painful to read as he cuts every muscles and dissects down to the peritoneum and removes a 'normal' nerve claiming that it looks like FOREIGN MATERIAL (not on the pathology report). Have you explained to them Dr. Cortese? Dr. Sarr just got on the phone and LIED to my father that he did the procedure 'skin to skin,' when he told me that he didn't do much of the procedure at all - which is the problem, ie who made the decisions, who cut and who stitched what of the mess? Dr. Sarr just lies, operative report after operative report, layer by layer, suture by suture. You need to do something to undo my procedure and stop what's going on at your institution of horrors.
