Solo for Procedure
Hello! A procedure was scheduled at the last minute for tomorrow 1/8. I will be traveling alone due to the short notice. It is light sedation, but they are requiring me to have a responsible adult there.
Is there a service the mayo offers for this?

Hi @lilawillmus, I'm glad you're able to jump into action for tomorrow's appointment. Which Mayo Clinic location are you going to?

Good to know. Here are 2 discussions that can help answer your question:

Given that today is Sunday, you may find it a challenge to get in touch with some of the services outlined in the links above. I recommend calling your hotel to see what services they may have available. I'm also tagging local members like @roch and @csjolundjr to see if they have further tips.
Are you traveling from far away? Will you be staying at a hotel?

1 Reaction@lilawillmus, just popping in to say "hi". I hope you are recovering well.
Hi there. Hope your procedure went well.
I go to Rochester also, and I know the problem of needing a responsible adult after the procedure. How did you resolve the issue? Did you use any of the services mentioned?
Hi! I ended up being able to find a driver at the last minute. I kept these services for future use, though.

1 ReactionHello! A procedure is scheduled for 07/17. I will be traveling alone as I don't have anyone who can travel with me at this time. It's exam under anesthesia, they are requiring me to have a responsible adult there for my discharge. I will be using sunset mobility to drop me at the hotel which is approved service by Mayo Rochester. Can someone please advice on how to proceed ?

1 Reaction@skotta, it sounds like you have made the necessary arrangements with Sunset Mobility to be escorted back to your hotel after your procedure. What outstanding question do you have? Is there something that is not clear about what will happen after the procedure?
