Really positive appointment today. Had my intake phone appointment with the NP at cardiac surgery at Mayo. We went over all the details, she was able to pull my charts from Kaiser. They are just waiting on the imaging and then will send my case to a surgeon to review and get their opinion based on what they see. If unclear to them, they'll talk to the HOCM clinic at Mayo too. If I need further testing, they'd want me to do so at Mayo Clinic with the specialists and will help me work with Kaiser to explain why I should be seen there. Sounds like they've seen this scenario before and it made me feel so much more at ease knowing that specialists are going to review my chart and give their opinion. It sounds like I'll get a response from Mayo well before both my second opinion and surgical consult within Kaiser.
