Had back surgery at Mayo two years ago. The pain from the surgery was extremely intense, and the post surgery hospital care was horrible. I ended up with significant inflamation in my brain and brain damage as a result of my back surgery. Brain damage that a Neuro at Mayo said was NOT caused by the trama of the surgery even though Mayo has a research paper stating that brain damage can occure as result of the trama from surgery. Mayo is GREAT at testing, but I would avoid having any proceedure there or getting advice on next steps after the testing.

So you telling me, you are paying 670 british sterling for a consultation and yet you have to bombard them with emails regarding your case? Is that a joke? Nice that the treatment level is high but a shame that with that price tag, there is no customer service. Waste of money as most of things in London.

Went to Mayo Clinic in the UK for a second opinion after bladder cancer spread to lungs and lymph nodes. After the initial meeting with Dr Fleming I was told it would be referred to USA and he would get back to me in 3-4 days. After a week I contacted them and they wrote back that it would take 3-4 weeks. I wrote back to complain that 3-4 weeks when tackling stage 4 cancer is too long a time frame and that I had been misled during the initial interview. If I had been advised it would take a month I would have gone elsewhere for a second opinion. Dr Fleming called the same day after I sent the email and said they were reviewing the case and he would call me again on Monday. It is now Wednesday and I have just sent another email asking what is going on and when I will hear from them.
