Can you go to Mayo Clinic

Posted by cindy1964 @cindy1964, Mar 10, 2020

I have several medical issues. I live in Panama City, Florida. Is it possible to go to Mayo Clinic and just get a full body check to see what’s really wrong with me? We had hurricane Michael and our hospitals don’t even have enough beds to handle the community and a lot of doctors left the area. I’m that patient that seems to have all the unusual things happen and no one properly knows how to heal me. My body rejects so much medication. I have fibromyalgia, RA, Osteoarthritis, diabetic overweight neuropathy my list can go on and on. I just need a full body checkup. There’s a Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville but I’m not sure they take care of all of my needs. Some please help guide me. I’m only 55

I don’t know about new patients. Do you have scheduled appointments already? They are up and running. I was just there for appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday; I have a four hour drive. If you have appointments and are concerned, maybe you can call them ahead of time before you set out.

This is my concern as well. Nurse calling me Monday (phone interview) and I will ask. Although, it seems like a day by day decision.

I just got an appointment for April 16. The receptionist who called me said they were still taking patients. I talked with them on Thursday.
