Transplant Evaluation - What to expect
Transplants | Last Active: Nov 28, 2020 | Replies (306)Comment receiving replies
I've been considering the moving situation and will be asking at my evaluation next week if I should be near the hospital or if I should be followed locally since I live 100 miles from the hospital. Regardless, I can't move until disability comes through as I have to have proof of income before I can rent a place. All my doctors are local and not at Mayo Clinic.

@becky39 I really do not know how things go at Mayo, but since having my transplant at Mass General I have switched all of my doctors to doctors there except for my PCP. If Mass General wasn't quite so far I would switch him too. If you were advised to move I would think you could transfer all of your care there, but people familiar with Mayo would know better than I do.

@beckyy39, You are asking good questions! I do hope that you are making a list to have with you next week.
Here are some discussions that I want to point out because they are about some of the things that you have mentioned.
