Thanks Vic38! I hope I'm in the hands of an excellent Internal MD. I originally was supposed to see Dr. Carabello in Mar, who has been there for many years, but scheduling messed up the appointments and the type of specialists I was to see. When I called to inquire I was told if there not on the schedule, they are not available and he canceled everything and told me to resubmit my application request which was denied.

I then called them and luckily got a hold of a great individual who said I was instructed incorrectly and I should have been told I was fine to come in and Doc will make the necessary arrangements, so I was moved and scheduled to see another great MD, Dr. Kautz, but my eye developed a nasty chalazion, optomotrist injected a steriod shot which created a nightmare and became infected, inflamed, etc and required an incision and surgery and I just got the stiches out this week. I probably should have gone anyway and let Mayo take care of it, but I had no assurance if they could or anyone would be available.

Now, the only Doc available is Dr. Hurt, not one of the other two 🙂

I really liked the ability to see Dr. Carabello given he's been there forever, heard he's great and Dr. Kautz is bit younger, but there for about 10+ yrs and interned and graduated from Mayo.

I looked up the credentials for Dr. Hurt and they're. . . OK I guess. I just hope I'm in good hands having to travel 4.5 hrs and spend $1,000 on transportation one way! Plus the hotel and food.

I pray all goes well and I like Dr. Hurt and he can figure all this out.
