Thanks so much, @colleenyoung. I appreciate your reply!
Is it possible that I could find out what the specific requirements for admission are for her condition? How would I go about doing that?
I've also heard that if she is denied through one division, her doctor can re-apply to a different division - is that true?
I trust that her doctor is doing her best but there are a few outside factors bogging down the doctor's time to devote to her case, and I'd like to help to alleviate that where I can, and that seems like a fairly simple task. I should mention that I have been given special permissions by my friend to speak to her medical team and would likely be the one accompanying her to Mayo Clinic should she get admitted, so I do feel comfortable in this role if its a matter of making a phone call or even just a proper internet search. I just don't know how to physically go about it.
Any help is appreciated.
