This so-called “medical doctor” (Paul Johnson of Indiana University Health) has literally destroyed my life. Starting in the first months of 2021, I was misdiagnosed by this IU Health ENT “doctor,” went through two sinus surgeries by him and then a third one in Fall 2021—only to find he had made my condition much worse and left me with a permanent, disabling, chronic condition. Recent medical examinations by other specialists and an endoscopy indicate that what causes my chronic illness (choking, gagging in the throat) is the direct result of these improper surgeries, severe gastrointestinal problems, and a hiatal hernia. This makes it nearly impossible to lecture or speak at any length without coughing or literally gagging due to uncontrollable sinus drainage and stomach reflux. Would anyone want his/her students or colleagues to have to witness an unpredictable and embarrassing choking crisis while merely trying to teach or speak in public? I am now reliant on serious medications and medical routines, which help but do not prevent these gagging episodes. I am on aggressive dietary restrictions and can barely eat anything, and only in tiny amounts. A qualified medical doctor overseas wrote the following report on my case: “Our patient Kemal Silay was examined on 27 April 2022 with the complaints of obstruction and fullness sensation through his nasopharynx, throat and larynx. On his medical history, it was learned that he had nose and sinus surgery 2 times for this reasons. His CT scan at April 2020 before the whole surgeries was examined it was seen that he had a nasal septal deviation, minimal concha bullosa deformity on left side and minimal concha hypertrophy, there was not any sinus problems. The second CT scan was also seen which had been taken on July 2021, it was detected that nasal septal deviation was corrected but both lower turbinates on each side and also the left middle turbinate were nearly completely resected. On his physical examination, nasal passages were widely opened, there were residual minimal lower turbinates and especially on left side middle turbinate was over-resected and maxillary sinus ostium was widely opened. Also grade 3 acid reflux was detected on his larynx. The patient fully informed about the damage that there was not an opportunity of reverse surgery. He was also recommended to admit for an endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract. After the medical treatment he was seen as control appointment on 03 October 2022. with the treatment of desloratadine + montelucast treatment the backward drainage from nose to throat was a bit reduced. During this time a GIS endoscopy was done and he was diagnosed as hiatal hernia which was also determined as acid reflux. Nasal passages are wide but he has an “empty nose” syndrome because of the over resection of turbinates. Medical treatment is modified and sinus clearing solutions were given. The absence of lower turbinates is decreasing the breathing quality as well as the quality of life. The patient is informed about the situation in details.” Before Paul Johnson of Indiana University Health “operated” on me three times (one for extreme bleeding) at what they call the “Surgery Center,” they made me sign documents minutes before the “operations” that “I accept the fact that Dr. Johnson is a steak holder in this business.” I had no chance but sign… This so-called “Surgery Center” was like a Soviet Union facility. Falling apart, I was hearing construction vehicles outside, hearing every word of the “next in line” separated by a bathtub curtain… I had never seen anything worse than that before in my life anywhere in the world. At least in the Soviet Union, these practices were completely free of charge but not in Johnson’s business. They are after millions of dollars as they manage to justify their fake surgeries at the expense of human life! What happened to the Hippocratic Oath (Ορκος) in the United States of America? After all this Hell, I tried to contact some law firms in Indiana. They listened to me, took notes, etc. but rejected my case at the end. It was very clear to me that in this state (Indiana), “lawyers” and “doctors” were working together for money. “Health care fraud is not a victimless crime. Health care fraud can be committed by medical providers, patients, and others who intentionally deceive the health care system to receive unlawful benefits or payments. The FBI is the primary agency for investigating health care fraud, for both federal and private insurance programs.” Paul Johnson of Indiana University Health and the Indiana “Law Firms” seem to be in a criminal relationship but if you are just a simple citizen, you cannot possibly fight these people yourself! This kind of disgusting relationship can only be handled by the FBI properly and honestly on behalf of the American people!¬

The best end of story. I would let him take care of anyone in my family.

As a physician I assume you are friends or partners. I had a routine septoplasty that turned into a disaster by Dr Johnson. He also performed a turbinate reduction. The septoplasty left me with a septum
Perforation he denied until I forced him to look at it. He then acknowledged it and admitted it was his mistake. We went to a plastic surgeon to get it fixed. That surgeon stated that whoever operated on me before if they simply would have used a bit of attention to detail the repair could have been avoided. He also did a poor job with the turbinate reduction and left me with scar bands which had to be removed and be packed for 10 days. This isn't a online rating game it is fact and truth. If you don't believe me if be more than happy to prove it and you can pay the 13000 that is being paid on as a balance to the plastic surgeon after insurance to help me out. It is far from a game.

As a physician in Bloomington I can assure you this is your man. I understand this online rating game and the vociferous negative comments about Paul are obviously people with an agenda. I had a LIFE THREATNING problem and he saved my life. I did not receive my medical education by watching Greys anatomy or reading a book. I understand how this works. Sometimes you are going to wait to see the best. Especially when every primary care doctor within 11 counties wants him to see their patients. Bring a book an feel reassured you are where you should be.
