hopeful-girl Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 It is amazing how much a doctor can really make in a persons like. I have done so much fighting this last year with insurances and doctors. I had a Neuro and Gastro that were let me put it as nicely as I can here, like JERKS, My gastro even though the tests showed Slow gut motility, he had me flagged for possible eating diorder, Becuase I was a bulimic many many years back. Like over 12 yera ago! So he has me go threw a special eating diorder evaluation. That is when I decided I would do it to appease him and I would also seek a new Gastro. That was a motnh ago. The evaluater laghed at me. NOT in a bad way. AND said what the heck are you doig here. So now even though I am all clear of any type of eating disorder he thinks I need further personality testing! FOR WHAT!? FOR HEAVENS SAKES!? Well While that is all going on. I had called the Mayo again and asked how much longeer it may take to be seen. Well they gave me the same old song and dance. Well there is such a long waiting list and it could take up to a year. I said well that is what I was told 4 months ago when I called. Actually that is what I am told every time wheeen I DO CALL!So I got this NEW GASTRO and I LOVE him. He is very understanding, patient, listens, ets... I just had my second visit with him on Monday. He asked me.............HAS any one of your doctors ever spoke to some one there in your behalf. I said no. Wednesday I get this Phone call from The Rochestor Mayo clnic They were calling me to set up an apointment with me I am still in shock!WOO-HOO My apt. is May 9th. Any advice from anypne would be great. What to bring, not to bring, etc........ Are Mayo shuttle free or cost money?I have such an andrenalin surge. PINCH ME SOME PNE LOL!!

AJVDK Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Congrats on getting the appointment. What I did when I went to Mayo I called and they sent all the info of hotel close by, and place to eat ad so on. We stayed in the Kaler ( not sure on the spelling) but in you to the subway floor from the hotel, there is a walking path to Mayo, so you never have to go outside. PLus there is place to eat there to, so you don't have to go far, and you don't need a car.Good Luck!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
