Complaint Review:
Mayo Clinic Rochester Sugery Department
Dr. Michael Sarr - a Mayo Surgical Chief - will do surgical procedures on women patients - classmates of Dr. Andrew Oldenburg (Jacksonville Mayo Clinic Vascular Surgery) without need, scans/workup, consent, discussion - just for publications, money, and to allow 'slasher' residents and black medical students with no ability or interest to practice.
Cutting up muscles and removing nerves - the Sarr neurectomy. The black medical students will look like Goliath, and stink to high heavens of some 'black' cologne that will nauseate. Only non-minority help have to shower or be fragrance-free. But the worst is not the smell, but the lack of experience or need for the procedure; the disfigurements & the cruelty for the black practice divine right. The 'divine right' of black medical students is to disfigure a white girl, because somewhere along the line it was done to a black - or so it says. Now it's 'get-back' time, and it's done with a vengeance.
The Honors Medical Student 'shuffle' done to women patients with MD patients who deserve the attending's attention - the SARR hands-on. When a MD patient can't solve a medical or surgical problem, that problem is not for medical students to get Honors butchering. The black medical student should have seen the patient, had a differential, and been showered. Sarr should have had a differential and ruled out benign nerve inflammation - known the physical exam maneuver for this - STUDENTS ASK HIM THAT QUESTION, ie how to diagnose an inflamed nerve in an old surgical scar incision. ASK ANDY OLDENBURG MD - or WARNER. Or Sarr could have used one of the those Mayo MRIs or intraoperative scans; Mayo Clinic is a high-tech place. Sarr had one differential = money. No one had a surgical thought except to cut. There's literature on benign nerve inflammation in an old incision - easily googled.
The Mayo Clinic should not have, or be tolerating, 'bad help.' However, this is the proverbial 'bad help' that would not be in a surgery residency except for equal-opportunity, or that they know someone who can get them a Mayo berth, or they've been 'homeless' - the surest way to Harvard or Mayo Clinic Medical School. Dr. Sarr will schedule a procedure, to fill an operative slot, without a scan or workup - because he's always in the air rather than on the ground - traveling. He doesn't have time to do workups, or see patients post-op. Jill Beed-Smith Esq sees to that; it's all for the money - which Sarr will then use to file a defamation charge - for telling the truth. None of his defamation suits go anywhere except to waste Mayo money. Money that could be used for the suture packs required for a layered closure - but that requires a resident with a brain and some manual skills besides iphone texting.
Dr. Michael Sarr will think nothing of cutting through abdominal fascias to remove a 'normal' nerve that to him looked like a 'foreign body.' And he'll cut through fascias where the nerve is above the fascia - because he doesn't know his anatomy, or maybe that was the 3-month resident? This guy supposedly was at Johns Hopkins for his Medical School and surgical training.
Dr. Sarr won't speak to you the morning of surgery as he arranges this farce, forgetting all that he promised the previous day before sex, shower, wine and play with the boys in the OR clique. He's surrounded by males in ecstasy. But the OR 'help' that goes along in a trance - without consent forms, without a qualm of conscience or a degree of moral compass, is the truly sad part. Not ONE Operating Room RN will object, not ONE resident question, not one student say 'No.' Not even a surgical tech will object - and they are trained NOT to do this type of procedure - not to start without a signed consent form - because THEY will be blamed if no one else.
No patient is supposed to have any procedure, or part of procedure, that was not discussed, merited or consented to. The Mayo Clinic is not Auschwitz, and the horrors of that type of free-lance medical experimentation should have stopped in the 1940s. And that includes the Mayo Clinic anesthesia residents who go after you that they will 'watch you' - with drugs - before you can object or manage to say the word 'No.' Before you get to say your name, you are drugged. The drugging for a case is the worst part - when you can't metabolize the drugs with an untreated thyroid disorder that Mayo Clinic conveniently missed and didn't test for on pre-op. Dr. Sarr has a 'special' clearance foreign resident - for the 'quickie' disfigurements.
It's Andy Oldenburg MD's (who now wants to be called 'Warner') last 'revenge' to permanently disfigure women classmates who did better than him on ONE test - couldn't take it so had to marry a non-medical person who wouldn't challenge. But cutting all someone's abdominal muscles to permanently damage them? A swimmer no less - if he bothered to know anything about his classmates. Any cut in an abdominal muscle or fascia has to be for a reason, not a paycheck. And that's probably why not ONE of his children will go near medicine as a career - too much of a challenge, and too little sense involved - they'd have to study and care about people.
After one test in Medical School at CWRU, WARNER didn't want to hang out, or discuss, or work together - he decided to go back to his 'good luck charm' college girlfriend and her parent's money. But disfiguring a classmate, doing an unnecessary procedure? That's get-back from hell. Dr. Sarr will do a procedure that the woman classmate NEVER heard of, a procedure that was outlawed after 1980 and then brought back because the residents needed publications = common mass closure = Warner's revenge. But for even Andy that's a low point.
The Mayo Clinic should not be doing/scheduling, or contemplating procedures that the patient has not consented to. If an attending agrees to do the procedure himself or herself, that verbal agreement should be honored. Having a black student - possibly a Mayo visitor - with no suture experience or suture clinic requirements under his belt - go at a woman MD to disfigure - is not equal-opportunity, it's a tragedy. It's just equal stupidity.
The black students should not be in on procedures where the woman patient requested 'no students' - just because they are black does not mean that they should be allowed to be in on procedures where they will cause complications & don't know the case. Same rules as for white non-minority students should apply. White medical students/residents need to know the case before their name is on the OR schedule. And the slasher 3-month resident should not be working on re-do procedures where she never saw the patient before.
But if Andy Oldenburg MD has any ethics left, he should at least arrange that the procedure be undone where he can watch who goes in the room. So far Jill Smith has no plan to schedule that this procedure be UNDONE. But it's at least the classmate thing to do - to try to 'fix' things. Warner Oldenburg didn't want a child with a woman MD, but to wish her brutally disfigured for fun is another degree of savagery.
The Mayo Clinic should undo every procedure not-consented to in a woman MD patient, or any patient. Neurectomies should be discussed, and as the nerve is ABOVE the transversus muscle - there is no reason to cut that muscle to do a 'common mass closure.' STUDENTS: ask why Dr. Sarr does this? Common mass closures were outlawed in the early 1980s because of the disfigurements, the horrible dehiscence, and the pain of sewing 2-3 muscles together that contracted in different directions and were of different length-tension strengths = PHYSIOLOGY 101. Didn't Sarr every see this, or was he too busy playing the surgeon at the cocktail parties?
With common mass closures, the abdominal fascias are permanently WEAKENED (so that the abdominal muscles will give and extremity fractures occur). Abdominal fascias are unfixably damaged by careless incisions - and Dr. Michael Rosen has a machine to measure this in Cleveland. So you don't do these incisions for a 5-minute procedure where the consent was 'no muscles were to be touched,' for a normal nerve that is just inflamed and has some scar tissue on it - you remove the scar tissue and close the fascia in LAYERS. You don't throw the nerve away like trash.
Dr. Sarr can't understand ENGLISH, can't keep his hands off a woman patient that he has drugged, and can't control his urges to cut and cut and more cut someone to bits and pathological pieces. However, that doesn't explain Andy Oldenburg's going along for the career move. What if it were one of his adult children? Would they lose their abdominal muscles for a publication or a several hundred dollar fee for Dr. Sarr - who didn't do the closure - just supervised with coffee while chatting gossip with the nursing staff. Getting his hands gloved is a problem for Dr. Sarr.
The disfigurement of 'common mass fascial closures' will require plastic surgeries for the rest of this woman's life. No one mentions that in any of the publications. COMMON MASS CLOSURE DISFIGURES - it's a crap closure for a surgeon with no judgment, no ability, and no sense. That the original work on this closure was also not done with women, or children, patients is also always omitted in the discussion - because the women and parents would complain of the painful disfigurements in the name of saving ONE suture pack and using 'help' with <6 months of experience.
No resident, or student with less than 6-months in the OR should be assisting on a procedure with a MD patient. And certainly no resident or student should be in the room that didn't KNOW the case at MAYO CLINIC. Residents, students, and anesthesia personnel, who never saw that woman patient before, should be banned from the room - surgery is not for ogling of breasts nor for free vaginal exams for twitter publication. Then the woman resident had her mother calling the woman MD that she disfigured? Where did she get the phone number is the question?

Rita, will you EVER run out of people or organizations to complain about? I suspect not. Now you want to take on the Mayo Clinic? You need to get back on your meds and get a real life.
