jamesharrison, you are correct Mayo doctors are salaried and a great thing about Mayo Clinics.

UFPTI, where I got my proton radiation, is part of the State of Florida University Health Care. I went there because Mayo Jacksonville did not have proton. The first thing the oncologist/radiologist said to me is that he is a state employee on salary and does not make more/less from the test or procedures he orders. He said so anything I recommend for testing and procedures is what I feel is best for you and your cancer treatments.

I donate to UFPTI to help pay costs for those they treat without insurance. They do treat a lot of patients without insurance and have an excellent financial assistance office. I donate to many specialty division at Mayo including research. My favorite donation is the good smariatan fund. A fund that helps pay for treatments at Mayo for those who do not have insurance or need financial assistance. I am not rich but able to help so I do.
