@katie215 A suggestion. Don't be shocked at a patient being turned away by Mayo. I have been turned away by Mayo, and several others. Generally, if the doc does not know what to do, any doc will say the patient is "psychophysiodystrophic" and turn the patient away. And in spite of being legally a non-profit, the folks involved make a good profit. So it is to their own best interest to turn patients away when they feel they do not know what to do otherwise.

@oldkarl
I've tried to get an appointment, for my back, 3 or 4 times in Florida.
I've been turned away each time.
Apparently, the accept only a certain number of patients with certain ailments.
So, I'm not surprised.

Feel good!
