falsified records

I was terminated from Mayo Clinic on 07/30/2010 for what my supervisors referred to as compromised patient care, the short of it is that I would not stick a patient who requested not to be stuck and called the service to see if the patient"s line could be used, the service approved this and sent the order through. The rn who was covering this patient felt I stepped on her toes and reported me saying that she had spoken with me personally which was untrue, the rn was to busy sitting at the nurse's station with her arms folded againist her chest and feet up on the desk to even come into the patient's room. She filed a compliant against me and won. My supervisors said that through their "investigation" that I was at fault could have caused the patient his life ( the patient was discharged the following day) We have been told by our supervisors to always contact the service if there were any questions and even though I did what I was trained to do they did not support me or back me up, this was their way of cleaning house and I'm not the only one who has been cleaned out. Mayo says its number 1 priority is to the patients but it has come down to the almighty dollar. They will support management before the employees even though it is the employees who make them who they are, they use to be a good company to work for but now they let managment run the show, these are people who get power hungry and will violate every mayo policies and turn it against the employee so they can move up the corporate ladder. I'm shocked that the Board of Directors or even for that matter Dr. Noseworthy doesn't take a look at the turn around status in the Lab Service area and ask why, because if they did those supervisors would be the next ones out looking for another job and collecting unemployment. When you are hired they tell you about the policies but when you get into the department those policies do not exist it is all up to the power driving supervisors. Many past employees who have left Mayo Clinic have said they are happier in their new job roles and would not go back to Mayo for anything, some of these employees have been ther 20+ years so what does this tell you? I know that I will find another job but until then I'm scared, but in the same sense I'm relieved knowing that I will not have too go back to work and wonder "will I get called into the supervisors office today" it was alot of walking on broken glass in the phlebotomy department because you never knew who the next victim would be. Be careful if you are thinking about appying here

Same story with me to. Didn't think to much of this site until it happened to me. I thought I was doing a great job from the feedback from patients and other staff. But as soon as the supervisor got promoted she became another person all to gether. Like she had something to proove to management. Like she had to proove she was man enough (mean enough) to fire a long term loyal employee... Makes you wonder what they teach them in supervisors classes because they come out swinging and don't stop untill someone gets hurt. And forget talking to anyone you thought you knew and trusted! They all treat you like a leper. I think everyone knows that they can fire anyone at any time on a supervisors say so. The godless wimps deserve each other and empty days watching out for # 1. What goes around comes around.

What is the deal with Mother Mayo thinking they can tell all of their patients, visitors and staff what to do and where to do it? I have never seen a city where one employer has had it's fingers in so many pots that affect so many people but yet they never get caught in any pies? How is that?

Legal takes out the trash. But they hire unsuspecting outside attorneys who are not told the whole story and can lie and cover up with a convincing face. or they go after you personally. They go after your business. They buy influence. They hide evidence. They distroy offending treatment machines. They transfer witnesses out of town or buy them off. They buy off people they can't compromise. They make threats against your family members. They follow you with former FBI agents. They photograph your property. They go through your trash to find dirt. They call you employer and make trouble. They hire specialists in computer security and investigation to find dirt and threaten you with it. They have vast servers doing nothing but recording all phone calls "for quality control" if you believe their garbage. OH and they LIE too. They track all your computer usage. All your emails. All the emails that you are sent and all the phone calls you make. With the cameras in places you cannot find and would not believe and face recognition software they track your movements and bathroom usage. You heard right.

And they hire consultants (like me) to make sure no one person knows how all this stuff works together to insure total control and absolute denyability....because 'the needs of the patients come'....LAST

The bigger the organization the bigger the fraud.

Over the years I've often wondered how the Mayo gets away with it but the volume of the truth about the Mayo Clinic drumbeat out there is increasing steadily all the time. The Internet has become a great tool for the ordinary person to fight the rich, the powerful and yes, the corrupt.

In addition to this site, here are a just a few websites who are exposing the dirty side of the Mayo Clinic's methods:
