Complaint Review: Mercedeh Baghai (12701667) MD

Dr. Baghai insisted on cutting my abdomen apart during a procedure in 1998 - when she was an intern at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN - and it was a difficult case from University Hospitals in Cleveland. She didn't belong touching anything and WAS ASKED NOT TO - asked to let another professional have some privacy and some CARE by Dr. Michael Sarr AWAKE. But she had to CUT AND CUT AND CUT NORMAL TISSUE for her CV. Three times I refused her in discussions with Dr. Sarr - 3 times - which she chose to ignore - foreigness (BAGHAI) or something cruel in her makeup or mentality? She watched while I was put under an anesthesia that I had also refused - to get me to accept her practicing. Awake I would have screamed. And practice she did. She didn't care. To this day I see her face in my nightmares.

I never agreed to the procedure that was done, the procedure that she participated in was never discussed with Dr. Sarr - not even DISCUSSED. And I asked that she not be involved - 3 discussions of saying NO - a NO that wasn't honored so that she could 'rape' me with her surgical gloves under anesthesia. A woman intern raping another woman's abdomen with no need, or cosmetic benefit involved for the PATIENT? The PAIN will be worse for the rest of my life, this procedure wasn't to prevent pain. Three abdominal muscles were cut irreparably and sloppily, TRASHED, and I discussed 3x with Dr. Sarr that NO MUSCLES WOULD BE CUT BY ANYONE - A NON-NEGOTIABLE CONDITION OF MY AGREEING TO THE SUDDEN SURGERY - that he found a slot for to give her experience apparently. Cut, rape, destroy, ruin, disfigure = the mantra at Mayo and as soon as possible after you see the patient. Just the guy thing. No student or resident was to be involved = condition of the surgery = a condition her mother would have made, her sister, her brother - I had FAMILY that wanted me back without her mutilations and/or neuroma surgery, no muscles were to be gone into without a family member being in Minnesota = she couldn't understand this.

My family didn't realize that Dr. Sarr would cut muscles without an MRI scan. That was refused 3 times with Dr. SARR. An inflamed normal nerve was removed = a dangerous procedure for even an experienced surgeon. No workup or scans were allowed or done - she didn't question one question - just wanted to cut, rip, and mutilate = destroy another woman's body. She was drooling over me when I last saw her, planning how to carve me up without my consent. Don't let her cut you, you will regret it and her attitudes for the rest of your living life = she doesn't care and never did. There's only a handful of physicians that are this bad, that they would 'rape'/ruin another professional's body for their petty experience; that they FORCE themselves on you.

If she had not forced herself on my case, and every intern/resident should know some ethics and professionalism about respecting another professional not wanting them in the room (just professional privacy/courtesy), immature Dr. Michael Sarr wouldn't have been doing a LIVE DEMONSTRATION on me - a physician also of bottom-feeder professionalism = the kind that Mayo Clinic rewards and promotes through the ranks of sleaze. The abdominal muscles have NEVER healed, and she knew NOTHING about me, or the procedure, or what I had agreed to - she just cut and didn't know how to cut at that time and didn't CARE THAT I WOULD WAKE UP AND CRY for 10 years - she didn't care and needed some dog labs from what the plastic surgeon saw = what she left was a literal mess without one qualm of conscience. Not one tear would she ever shed for the mutilation that she did to another woman - Old World type of mutilation = the Dr. Sarr neuroma procedure. I had to get on a plane an come home to Ohio disfigured, with a horrible sore throat from an experimental airway = everyone experimented on me that day. Was this a joke? Dr. Baghai is a horrible surgeon, especially in forcing herself on other professionals for an afternoon of fun and games - that should never happen EVEN AS AN INTERN; that you do a procedure for your CV - that you can say you did one. ONE WOMAN RESIDENT WAS TO BE IN THE ROOM, not an INTERN = not her. It wasn't a game when I woke up smelling like the black medical student's sweat and his horrible dressing - so sloppy, so crude, so cruel = gross for even rural Ohio. It was just HORRIBLE, GRISLY, A SHOCK and a sadness for the rest of my life = CRIMINAL. My mother took care of those muscles when I was a child, and not for her to cut and destroy in a moment of stupidity, inexperience and frivolity = her picture says it all smiling at the patients she's hurt in her past. The incision was a mess and she had no business being 'in' on anything; SHE WAS REFUSED.

Jill Beed Esq is partially responsible for this in not honoring or mandating written patient consents at Mayo Clinic; Mayo Clinic doesn't have or honor patient consent forms - everyone just does what they feel like to the patient.

Jill Beed in the legal administration/department encourages literal 'rape' of patients by incompetent learning staff that shouldn't ever be in the room, and aren't wanted in the room by the patient or the family - Dr. Baghai fell in that category. The HORRIBLE MONSTER black medical student shouldn't have been touching me unless my parents were in Minnesota IN THE ROOM and ON HIS BACK - Dr. Baghai has no ethics or maturity like her mentor Dr. Michael Sarr - who can't see to recognize a normal nerve. I was alone and taken advantage of, for her laughing. Someday hope she has a black medical student pawing over her, grunting, sweating and mutilating for the OR staff - he was horrible to look at, and couldn't say a word, but he could destroy tissue better than any Iraqi landmine. BAGHAI ethics; if you can't mutilate in Iraq, get the American in the Operating Room in Minnesota - this was 3rd world care. The two, Baghai and her black friend, were the worst around apparently, and were asked NOT TO BE THERE, participating or otherwise. But they can't be told NO. I only agreed to one woman resident being IN THE ROOM to WATCH to SHUT UP DR. SARR'S barrage of persuasion and harassments - he forces the students/residents on patients with 'go' after 'go' behind closed doors without the nurses to witness - when he needs to check the blood work and scans instead of interrogating your reasons. Dr. Sarr, and Jill Beed knows this, shouldn't be doing this monster behavior vampire stuff. Dr. Baghia should have asked herself as I had to ask as a woman intern - but she's too lazy so Dr. Sarr has to harass you, rack you, for an hour or more (more than he discusses the procedure) he goes at you about who can help and you keep saying NO and he keeps not hearing. And he's a big guy doing this PERSUADING. It's just force, and force, and kill the patient for Mayo Clinic glory. Jill Beed needs to sit in on one of these Dr. Sarr torture sessions; the Gestapo could have learned from him - maybe that's where he got it. A Jewish guy destroying a Catholic girl's body to get back at someone for past historical wrongs done to Jews? Gotta hurt someone else like the Jews were hurt with the experimental surgeries in the wards of the German concentration camps? This surgery was an experiment if ever there was one, just done under anesthesia this time. For sure it was a Mengele-type 'special' surgery that I would have NEVER have agreed to AWAKE (and Dr. KNEW THIS - which is particularly disturbing). Dr. Sarr could have reached my father surgeon before he proceeded to cut the muscles - my father was by the phone. The Medical Board of Minnesota needs to outlaw this procedure - there are better ways of treating nerve inflammation in an old incision. And they need to outlaw the way that Dr. Sarr and Dr. Baghai did this to me - just deception, force, have a 'go' at a Catholic girl - ruin a body. . .

Inflamed normal nerves are not RECOMMENDED removed before nerve blocks are tried = literature which no one reads at Mayo Clinic, they just write it. Dr. Baghai knew nothing about the case or the literature (Mayo or other academic papers) - just stupidly cut, and certainly not by cutting a whole abdomen off. This happened because she forced the situation for experience and to look like the guys - big ego no brains, keep cutting to the peritoneum - rip me apart. The operative report read like a Third World War. Dr. Baghia had no experience with people or surgery, and had to mutilate me and was asked/BEGGED not to - I agreed that she could WATCH the procedure only, and she persuaded Dr. Sarr otherwise apparently. No respect for anyone else's LIFE, CAREER, or FAMILY. There's a classic paper about Abdominal Wall Pain but it's in the Family Practice Journals - too plebian for Drs. Sarr & Baghai: Am Fam Physician. 2002 Jun 1;65(11):2211. The abdominal wall: an overlooked source of pain. Suleiman S, Johnston DE.

Dr. Baghai doesn't take 'NO' and will mutilate muscles, nerves, and patients - without a care or regret. There was extensive plastic surgery required (did she care or ask?). No picture was taken at Mayo and I was dropped as a patient so that the plastic surgery department wouldn't see what she was doing, so her credentials would be intact. When a picture ISN'T ALLOWED, you know there's a BIG goof; a no glossies goof. Her operative report had to be re-dictated, and mentioned things that didn't happen (apparently? no one knows what really happened that day or will admit - just like in concentration camps), and sutures that weren't used - it was a disgrace of incompetence, a female-getting-her-ire-out-at-another-female so that I wouldn't get married ever (= get rid of the 'competition' by destroying 3 muscles for life, and she knew this = mutilate the American woman physician was the sole purpose and should have been on the operative report, not to prevent pain).

Dr. Baghai was complained about to the State Medical Board of Minnesota - they let her go to do this again. An intern/resident is RESPONSIBLE for what they do, or for what they try to do and don't know how to do and won't admit, and for what they FORCE themselves on another human being for = unnecessary anesthesia, surgery, and destruction of muscle tissue. What you did was WRONG, and Dr. Sarr knew it was WRONG and YOU KNEW it was wrong, but Baghai v American and you destroyed for whatever reason.

Dr. Baghai let an incompetent, gross, smelly, huge black medical student further mutilate the situation - and both were asked to allow Dr. Sarr to do the procedure without their assistance because of 'confidentiality' (just a woman begging nicely) - neither could keep their hands off me for all the begging or parents worrying at home in Ohio - just gross touching even without CONSENT. My mother can't even bear to think about what PROBABLY happened in that OR. The medical student was even worse than Dr. Baghai was at the time (if that could be possible), and he was requested not to be in the room and didn't care, he was BLACK and had to cut a WHITE woman = his divine right. Meanwhile, I had no rights between Baghai and an Equal Opportunity Student = equal opportunity mess. Dr. Sarr never saw me back for ONE post-op visit as I would have had the police in the room with Ms. Beed. Dr. Baghai has no respect for another woman physician, no abilities, she can't cut or sew and forces herself on you for experience - I will regret seeing her, and not SCREAMING before I was drugged, for the rest of my life. She's a horrible physician, and an even worse person.

Dr. Baghai will do a procedure without a thought, scan, review of the case, or a permission from the patient - the verbal permission was that she was not to touch anything and not to do the procedure, not to watch me get drugged. Anesthesia was also at fault here - anything for MONEY - drug the woman from Ohio out-of-her-mind and use an experimental airway for FUN AND GAMES AND MAYO GLORY. It's all a paper publication, or an experiment, unless the patient dies. I refused an airway for what it was worth; SPINAL if you were going to do anesthesia was my choice - BUT NO ONE LISTENED or interviewed me - they just drugged and cut = date rape in any other state. I had to be cut up drugged - trashed with a tattooed 'twist' (her incision had these 'signature' curves). It was intentional; the plastic surgeon worked for over an hour to Z-plasty everything multiple times. My parents didn't come because they thought that this was straightforward procedure UNDER LOCAL, and didn't have to POLICE her as this was Mayo Clinic where better behavior was expected. Her incisions are 'signature.'

Both parents could not understand Dr. Sarr destroying someone else's child's abdomen for sport - nothing was an emergency, and it was agreed with Dr. Sarr that HE WOULD STOP AND DISCUSS THE OPTIONS BEFORE TOUCHING ANY MUSCLE - but she apparently got him to CUT ME UP - no intermissions or reprieve. This was a groupie disaster. My parents were a physician and a nurse, and Dr. Sarr threatened my physician father afterwards, he screamed at my mother - all because of you and your experience to be a bariatric surgeon and endoscopist. Hope you got what you wanted and that someone tattooes you in the OR.

YOUR MOTHER WOULD HAVE PLEADED THAT THIS PROCEDURE NOT BE DONE TO YOU AND YOU DIDN'T CARE ONE MINUTE. The muscles don't heal from the particular butchery that Dr. Baghia did that day and she should have known the statistics on that procedure - IT'S A PROCEDURE THAT THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD OF MINNESOTA NEEDS TO STOP - and it was refused 3+ TIMES that ANY NERVE MATERIAL BE REMOVED - NO NERVE WAS TO BE TOUCHED, NEUROMAS WERE NOT TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT DISCUSSION OF THE OPTIONS. That's top of the list on her operative report - probable neuroma (that I refused be removed). ONLY previous scar tissue was allowed to be removed. Dr. Baghai didn't care and my nerve went to pathology, and that sensation did not return - the skin feels like 'jello' - the Baghai kind. And it wasn't an emergency - but she was too stupid and interested only in her own career and getting back to California and being a big deal. Take out all the nerves in an American patient becuase you are first generation whatever or just plain angry?

Dr. Baghai will not THINK more than a cyborg about who she hurts, ie the cyborg Cameron on the Sarah Connor Chronicles thinks more than Dr. Baghai about things, and she's programmed NOT TO THINK. But to inflict herself on a re-do procedure, that was then botched beyond the repair of an experienced plastic surgeon in Ohio - is so horrible, gross and unprofessional that I was shocked and still am. There was no need to cut the muscles, and no discussion of this - her hands and Dr. Sarr's hands were too big? And she's a surgeon now? A plastic surgeon was to do the closure. Dr. Baghia doesn't talk with patients, dates back to Mayo Clinic - she mutilates, hurts, and deforms you for life for her experience and her glossy picture on the Internet. Stay away. There's not a moment without pain from what she did - nerves regrow painfully, but the muscles don't heal after the fascia has been torn, ripped and cut - for her demonstration.

This wasn't a procedure that I was even REMOTELY FAMILIAR with, and I've assisted at a lot of surgery, and at the time of this surgery had more surgical experience than Dr. Baghai who was surgerizing me courtesy of the State of Minnesota Medical Board. Dr. Sarr was doing things that were not agreed to with her encouragement - and that's her responsibility. One question: Couldn't you have let me be that day and gotten your experience somewhere else? The Chief of Surgery at University Hospitals in Cleveland had had trouble diagnosing the nerve problem? Dr. Sarr didn't call him. Couldn't you have let me have some privacy, some consideration, some professional care - your care was not professional. I did an internship in surgery also and never mutilated a patient, or participated in a surgery, when I was asked to step aside and let this case go to the Chief. Part of the nerve problem was an untreated auto-immune thyroid problem - but did anyone check the labs even at Mayo Clinic? NO, they just carved me up for the RIP.
