Collaborative communication between and care by health care providers?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Apr 7, 2023 | Replies (21)Comment receiving replies
Today I had another experience with Mayo’s collaborative culture, in addition to Mayo Connect with you all.
At the beginning of the year, I applied to go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester to get help.
Get help with my peripheral neuropathy that started after I was given cardio vascular medications.
And also because I discovered I needed to personally manage the communication between multiple physicians.
The help I got from Mayo back then, they could not accept my application, was encouragement to work with my local providers and the introduction to Mayo CONNECT.
After 4 months with local providers, I started searching for other local providers and have connected with new providers.
I recently applied to Mayo again because of uncertainty with the local providers and, after starting a new cardio med, my neuropathy symptoms increased, med now on hold.
This morning, after telling me they were too busy to accept me, Mayo people gave me something to do - collaboration!
They gave me a phone number for my physician to call the Mayo physicians regarding my condition.
Thank you Mayo !

Hi Ginger
Will let you know how it goes
Steve
I was rejected to Mayo, but my symptoms were never addressed in my medical records. So I understand. “At least you can walk”,was as far as I got with the medical community. Nurse did note in my record saying my symptoms were never addressed.
I’m in a world of pain, firestorm in my legs 24/7. Only 1/4 of my body feels normal.
Hi Colleen
A thought
How about asking the Mayo Clinic team to create, if not already existing, a way - protocol - for helping a patient outside Mayo Clinic walls, on Mayo CONNECT and others, inform their local physicians about the processes Mayo Clinic uses for physicians, along with the other providers, collaborating together in interpersonal and technological communication about the needs of a patient.
Integrated health care providers communicating and sharing medical data, along with human wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, to assess the cause and provide treatment for a patient's condition, including neuropathy.
Then share the protocol with the participants on Mayo CONNECT, and others throughout the US.
Thanks for helping.
