Has anyone been a patient at the Mayo Clinic?

I have.

They know their stuff up there, and they'll stick you once when others take twice.

I didn't enjoy my trip up there because of what they were doing, but they were thourough and I was most pleased that the expert basically said "We can continue and do test x,y,z..." and when pressed said "if i found xyz result, I'd probably recommend the same treatment"...and I said "well why go through all of that bullshit if this is what you think it is and would treat the same anyway"...and for once, a doctor actually agreed.

It was different than other places I'd been, especially university docs....

good luck.
