@f2024 you must be so frustrated with your medical situation! But you are advocating for the best possible medical care and that is the best you can do. I am wondering if the Florida Mayo is as well equipped to handle your case as Rochester MN. It might be worth looking into to see if an appointment can happen sooner. I know in our experiences at Rochester Mayo over the years that various specialties operate differently as far as scheduling, and some staff are much better at working to get you in than others. by continuing to call and check on your status there, you may be able to fall into a cancellation appointment. Have you asked about that possibility? I hope your Vanderbilt contact comes through more quickly and you are able to see someone there sooner.
