So disheartened

Posted by aaron_az @aaroncush, Apr 18 6:46pm

It’s been a while since I past posted as things had improved with LDN and also becoming a patient of Dr. Brent Goodman at Mayo Phoenix. Of course it was too good to last. Dr. Goodman decided to leave Mayo and move states, Mayo Neurology declined to keep me as a patient, and now I am worsening or the LDN is becoming less effective. My pain is back in force and so far I have struck out finding a new doctor.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@nancyworld, consultative practice involves patient care. Take a condition like cancer. Patients come to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion, get an evaluation and a treatment plan. The patient has the option to continue the treatment plan at Mayo Clinic or to return to a facility closer to home. For example, some patients choose to have surgery at Mayo Clinic, but chemotherapy in the home state.

Thanks, @colleenyoung (Colleen), but I think we may have a disconnect in our communication here. Both @aaroncush and I are primary care patients at Mayo in Arizona. I've been going to the Clinic in Scottsdale for over 20 years.

I think he may be reporting that the neurology department in AZ is currently short-staffed, maybe since his neurologist left. I only see one neurologist currently listed at Mayo in AZ. Therefore they may be managing patients, including local patients, differently now than previously.
