@duchess926 I have spent the last three years trying to get into Mayo Clinic. My heart doctor got involved and gave me another referral, and I waited and I waited and I waited and finally decided I would contact Cleveland Clinic, who took me and accepted me within the day.. He said I had peripheral idiopathic neuropathy and stop taking all of the horrible pain pills that we are given which I had refused to take anyway. They made me so much worse and it was destroying my body so I’ve been fighting through the pain for three years. Right after I accepted the appointment to Cleveland Clinic, the very next day Mayo called and offered me an appointment. I asked them if I could have a couple of minutes or a day to make a decision as to whether to cancel Cleveland Clinic. They told me “no”. Give me your answer right now and if you don’t say “yes”, you start all over again. I didn’t like that answer so I went forward to go to Cleveland Clinic. Duringthe last year, I tried to come back in again at Mayo and they told me they would have an answer within seven days. There was no answer for months until I got a letter about a week ago saying “ no” we can’t take you”. The doctors did not accept you all of a sudden though they accepted me the first time. I don’t think I’ll try a third time because I don’t the system works.
