Saturday Nov 17: SLAP – Superhero Lady Armwrestlers of Portland

, I don’t know why you are here. You are in the wrong office. She had not read thugroh my history before my visit (which I was told she would) nor did she look thugroh any of my previous medical records until she was in the room with us. Despite the test results and my doctors’ findings, she disagreed and said she did not think there was a problem at all even though this was not her specialty.To appease us (because we must have looked shocked having driven half-way across the country to be dismissed so quickly), she ordered several tests and made an appointment with another physician. We appreciated the time that the other physician spent answering our questions even though she was unable to determine the cause of the problem.Since the tests came back normal, my husband and I both pressed and asked questions in the final meeting with our original doctor trying to determine the cause of my pain and other symptoms. She had no answers and asked if we wanted her to order additional tests. It really appeared to us that she was appeasing us versus trying to find the answers to my symptoms.We were greatly disappointed since the Mayo Clinic is supposed to be the best in the country. It was set up in such a way as to get to the root of a patient’s illness even if that root is hard to find. Unfortunately, while we appreciate the friendliness of most staff and know the Mayo helps many ill people, their system did not work for us at all.
