Ok, thanks to your suggestion, I just submitted dialogue to the Mayo Office of Patient Experience! I stated that I was not trying to get this Dr in trouble, but that the treatment I was getting is not acceptable. I told them about the two Drs that I found that I thought could help me and how their "self-referral" policy is failing patients. Especially since they are required to go back through their current Mayo Dr for a referral. I did tell them that I did submit a referral request on Sept 9, and that I am still waiting on a response. I also gave them details on the most recent failing performance by my Dr. I am not very hopeful that anything will come about from this, but we shall see. My Mayo experience has really been no different from the other experiences I have had with various other Drs, clinics and hospitals, and I reminded them that this is certainly not the kind of care that Mayo is currently advertising! I do have a GI appt with a PA on 10/19, so I did message him to remind me to ask for a referral to a PN specialist when I see him [because of my MCI, I may not remember]. I am not sure GI will want anything to do with this, but at least I am trying, right? Whatever......
