Ashley Dias and my family
Ashley Dias and my family, it is with immeasurable pain and anger to this day I write. My daughter Ashley Dias put her life in the hands of Dr. Bedev and the Cleveland Clinic and the transplant team, trusting them to provide not only expert medical care, but human compassion. What we received after insurance paid out 1.2 million dollars (after they waited for approval before accepting her) was indifference wrapped in protocol, cold professionalism that felt more like a business transaction, looking at dollars instead of in the eyes of a hopeful child and loving family. Shame on you, Dr. Bedev and the Cleveland Clinic. I will always tell the CF families that come to me for advice NOT to go anywhere near the Cleveland Clinic for a double lung transplant.
