Hi Astonie,
I want to thank you for posting the advise on getting your own medical records. You wouldn't believe how fortunate reading that was. I proceeded to gather them within two days of reading your post. My Dr."s office was supposed to forward them to a Dr. at the Mayo Clinic. I was only collecting them as you suggested, with no real purpose. Guess what, my Dr.s office didn't send them, and I got a call from the Mayo wondering where they were. The gal said,"We have been calling your Dr. and no-one calls us back." I told her I had all the cat scans, radiology reports and could pick up the lab reports with slides for her. I sent the package next day service, and called the first doctor who diagnosed me to get his and the surgeons report. That was faxed.
Now, who doesn't call back the Mayo clinic? This Drs office didn't even call me back when I wanted info.
The good news is that today I got a call from The Mayo Clinic saying they thought they could help me. Another DR is now involved and I will go out there the second week in Dec. They want to run a few more tests at the Mayo. So its looking good. Whether I survive is another thing. I hope so.
So, if Kenny happens to read this, this is synchronicity. I had everything ready for the DR. Now if the elevator door opens for me, I'll know I'm In the right place.
Thank You Astonie!
