I, too, think that the whole Mayo system does a poor job of pushing the patients' calendars along. I went there for a two week visit to find the root of my problems, which has been a long term bout with Amyloidosis. I did a few other tests, none of which made any sense to me, but I am not very knowledgeable in these things. After over 100 days of expense and corporate excuses, I finally got to see a hematologist. And almost a year later, I still do not have a straight answer. Hang in there, and be hopeful.
