OK. Per using my eyes, I've unblocked you. If Diannaa doesn't think it was right, she can do something about it. I can't see how you got renamed while blocked, though... Peridon (talk) 16:42, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

That name is the reason you were blocked - but I can't really see why. Perhaps @Diannaa: can explain it. Peridon (talk) 16:35, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Hang on - that's not the name in the blocking notice. You've been renamed. Peridon (talk) 16:39, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for your interest in Cleveland Clinic. If you ever want to talk about Misplaced Pages and medicine or hospitals then talk to me. I would have a chat with you by voice or video. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:43, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages from the Medicine Wikiproject!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Misplaced Pages. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Misplaced Pages articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Misplaced Pages is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
• Misplaced Pages is a kingdom full of a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages!

Conflict of interest

Hi Patient32, your edits to date have been on Cleveland Clinic are focused on a single issue. This makes your account what we call a "single purpose account" (please see WP:SPA) I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some questions for you below.

Hello, Patient 32. We welcome your contributions to Misplaced Pages, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Misplaced Pages's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Misplaced Pages's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Comments/questions

Misplaced Pages is a scholarly project, and like all scholarly endeavors, disclosure and management of conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Misplaced Pages and retaining the public's trust in it.

First things first - disclosure.

Would you please let me know if you have any relationship with Cleveland Clinic? Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 15:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

user:Jytdog Thank you for contacting me. No, I have no Conflict of Interest. I receive no compensation other than from retirement disability. I am a former military and commercial pilot whose career came to an end due to medical error/harm/disability. I have been a volunteer patient advocate for Consumer Union Safe Patient Project for two years. I recently was a volunteer guest speaker on patient harm/medical oversight at Healthwatch USA, another non profit. I was introduced to Misplaced Pages through a Consumer Union Safe Patient Project colleague. I recently sought out training and assistance from user.bluerasberry who has been very helpful. I have sourced all of my entries. I hope this answers your concerns.

Please provide me your thoughts on my entry this morning on Cleveland Clinic talk page. Thank you.Patient 32 (talk) 17:23, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply - that makes things a little more clear... I hope you will entertain a bit more discussion as COI in Misplaced Pages is a more complicated than who pays who. Would you please tell me - did the medical error happen at Cleveland Clinic? Thanks again. Jytdog (talk) 17:56, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

user:Jytdog Indeed it did. I am one of scores of patients permanently harmed and disabled at the Cleveland Clinic in a surgical department that had no credentialing or privileging of staff or residents cited in the surveys. My harm is not the issue. The issue is about the government findings of safety violations, violations of CMS Conditions and Standards, and citations for "immediate jeopardy" which underlies harm to patients documented by the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS). This is the issue documented by Modern Healthcare, Leapfrog, CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions, and in the CMS citations and termination letters. Please provide me your comments about the sourced entries on the Cleveland Clinic talk page this morning. Patient 32 (talk) 18:42, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
