Yes, I decided to come to Mayo. An academic attending in radiation oncology--on Reddit said it was ludicrous (he used a stronger word) that I'd be treated by a first year resident. Also, my closest friends have all moved, and I can't manage by myself, so I'm hoping for support at Mayo.

It's so interesting that you were a renal social worker. I was just talking with my parents yesterday. My father is a neurologist with a special interest in dialysis, and my stepmother was a dialysis tech and then they bought--or however it works--dialysis clinics that they ran working with Fresenius. My stepmother was telling me how helpful and necessary the social workers are. They toured the dialysis clinic at Mayo to see how they were doing things.

sometimes its a small world. isn't re commonality with dialysis. yes social workers are mandated by medicare to be in all clinics, i worked at fresenius for the first ten years of my career. Then that clinic was bought out by a small group which later sold it out to Davita, but i opted to leave to go to American Renal clinic which was previously owned by FMC. I worked in Rhode Island a small state but with alot of dialysis clinics, however, i preferred the medical practice associated with ARA, so i returned to my roots so to speak. From the way you describe yourself, it sounds as if you are from out of the country is that true, I am glad you are choosing Mayo, you will access to support services, through their team, altho its tough to be away from family especially for transport to appts etc. Interesting that a neurologist has an interest in neprology. well good luck with everything
