Mayo Clinic - Misdiagnosis/disrespected
I got referred down for a heart issue. They referred me to their fibromyalgia clinic instead.
The guy (Fleming) thinks he's a psychiatrist. It's ridiculous. He kept insisting I self referred down and I didn't - just because he didn't have the paperwork. I asked him if he wanted me to give him the paperwork and he said no.
Instantly diagnosed me with fibromyalgia even though I didn't agree at all and it didn't fit with my symptoms. Then I keep bugging him about pain I have that he says "isn't real" - surprise! When evaluated by another doctor it turns out that I needed a major orthopedic surgery. He never apologized for the massive disrespect, basically had told me I was making up my pain.
Also got diagnosed by another doctor down there with something else he had missed. After I'm recovered from this surgery I will never go back. I don't know what he put in my chart but I was disrespected at every turn - in the hospital post-recovery from surgery, I'm sure there was something in my chart from Fleming because I overheard a nurse saying I was making up my nausea.
Then of course I ended up throwing up all over because I was refused nausea medication. Honestly have never felt so disrespected by medical professionals in my life and I will not be back.
Reason of review: Bad quality.

Complain to Mayo honchos and name names.
Hi I am unsure how to contact you personally but I have been dealing with a lot of pain due to an orthopedic issue. Itโs affectijg my whole body plus I cannot walk and most shoes are painful.
Iโve had surgery and seen a lot of doctors Mayo Clinic was recommended to me but this sounds like more of the same.
Doctors passing you from one specialist to the next. Please let me know more about it situation.
Pain? If you have pain forget it.
The Mayo wouldnโt give you pain meds if you got amputated by their clinic door hitting you on your way out. Forget about the Mayo honcho$. Report the doc (the poor docs of course are fired if they donโt obey the honchos, but you cannot report execs to the Board. The Mayo needs to be sued.
Itโs good for them.147.0913.

Mayo "honchos" will not and will never take proper action, even when gross malpractice is committed. It's lie and deny with that institution.
Mayo Clinic is rarely ever held accountable for their crimes against patients. They slither out of most malpractice, even when defense armed with a smoking gun.
Don't give people false hope. If you are going to continue to troll the Mayo clinic complaints here, be fair to people and warn them they are up against the Teflon Don of medical providers and they don't play nice.
