Cleveland Clinic Ombudsman easily snowed by doctors
On my last trip to the Cleveland Clinic I saq several doctors. Most were very kind and compassionate even though they could not provide me with any answers regarding my difficult case.
Then there was the rheumatologist Dr. Johnny Su. He was priggish, arrogant, and dehumanizing. After he found out I have a mild autism spectrrum disorder, he went from being cold and stand offish to just plain nasty and insulting.
He implied I was mentally ill and mentally deficient, neither of which is true. If he bothered to read about my condition or even ask me questions about it rather than jumping to conclusions or assuming he knows everything about everything just because he went to medical school, he might have learned something. He did prove to be quite an effective liar. He completely snowed Rita Byarse, the ombudsman we complained to regarding his treatmwnt of me and his hyperfocus on something not related to his work at all.
After speakin with her, I am not at all surprised he was able to easily lie his way out. She was just as ignorant About autism as he is and was very unsympathic and uncaring. She a lso seemed tolack even rudimentary common sense.
The ombudsman office proved to be quite useless as did Rita Byarse and Dr. Johnny Su.

I am saddened and sickened when I read or hear about situations like yours. I am sorry you had to receive this nasty treatment
by the Cleveland Clinic.
That "doctor" who saw you should be ashamed of himself, but to be so ignorant of the autism
spectrum is incomprehensible. And the mentally ill statement is unpardonable--mental illness is not a crime, but I think
that rude old person used it as putdown. But if he knew something else, he would say something else.
I agree with you,
the Ombudsman's office is a bust, they are a time-waster for patients because they always take the doctor's lies over a legitimate complaint. Sending you healing energy.
