2-24-2022 To Ingegerd Enesco. Ralph Bertilino. I got a call from Arizona, they have reviewed my medical records, and said there is nothing they can do that my GI Doctor and others Doctors at UCIRVINE Hospital are doing for me now. In 3 CT SCANS it is clearly states l have Mals. My GI Doctor wrote the referral and said l have Mals in his referred. He told me Mals caused my necrotic intestine that nearly killed me, as the surgeon also told me, l made it by 2 hours and may have died in the emergency room waiting 6 hours to receive medical attention. I’m going to call Mayo again tomorrow, and try to get more answers. Also, l asked him to verify the rejection with the Vasculal Dept. When he came on the phone he said this is the second time l have been rejected.. Thus, he means not to call Mayo again about this medical issue. lm crushed emotionally, and do not know what more l can do to become admitted to Mayo. I feel all alone in my home room isolated, no care giver just my I-pad, phone and these 4 walls. You have such a big heart spending your time with me, lm grateful for you, Ralph Bertolino.

The two Facebook groups are MALS Pals and MALS Awareness. I used MALS Pals more because people discussed Drs from all over. There is also a Google docs surgeons list you can use to get started finding help: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wIimASjCp039Zzh0hXKYf0Q2oT5yCW1H1iuyqwBysUQ/edit
