Sharon, I feel the same way as you. Two appts ago, I had only a lung function test and none of the others that I used to get. I had wondered if it was due to cutbacks, or possibly not enough drs for all of the patients? Is it possible that covid has worn done everybody? Perhaps the medical profession is tired of dealing with all of the sickness. I also wonder if the Mayo feels like it's losing its roots as a research institution and becoming more of a routine care kind of place. I dunno. It def does not run as the well oiled machine that it once did.

Hi Terri, without a doubt all hospitals are under intense strain given the demands of the pandemic. Please know that Mayo Clinic is committed to ensuring that you get the level of care that you are accustomed to receiving at Mayo Clinic. I strongly recommend that you also report this recent visit to the Office of Patient Experience. They will want to hear more and rectify the situation.

What other tests do you typically have done at your appointments besides the lung function test?

Hi Terry..that’s disappointing to hear, especially with major lung issues right now for you..will they give you a yearly low density CT Scan and a sputum culture❤️🙏🏻
