Do yourself a favor: watch the PBS documentary on the Mayo Clinic, came out a few years ago. Its amazing. That PLACE is amazing.
Oh you dont have to tell me, I'm an alumni!
Went there to have an Arterial Vein Malformation (AVM) on my brain surgically obliterated. 11 hours of surgery, incision from ear to ear. That was back in 2008.
I'm lucky it was found in time to do something. More often than not they burst, you've then got a Brain Aneurysm on your hands, and chances are very high you're a gonner.
Always grateful to the genius angels @ Mayo.

About 90 minutes from home...
We were swirling about a long term Cyberknife laser approach vs surgery...I'll never forget their head of neurology telling me in his office what the hell am I waiting for? I needed surgery yesterday.
Sometimes you meet someone who you are comfortable putting your life in their hands. That neurosurgeon was that guy for me.

He really is amazing. Never thought I would ever have the patience to watch a 10-part, 18-hour documentary (Vietnam), but I did. And then watched it 4 or 5 more times. Even my kids were captivated by it. All of his docs are like that.
I think we're living in a future Ken Burns doc right now.

My cousin used to work for the mayo, for lack of a better word he was the concierge, we weren't very close but a few of the stories of the people he dealt with were pretty damn amazing. It was his job to make sure the VIPs and their families were taken care of while there. Once again....where was my HS guidance counselor on that one?
NY governor says China is donating 1,000 ventilators to the state Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today that New York will receive 1,140 ventilators from China and Oregon.
The Chinese government has facilitated a donation of 1,000 ventilators that are expected to arrive at JFK Airport today, Cuomo said moments ago during a press conference.
Quote:"This is a big deal and it's going to make a significant difference for us. Also, the state of Oregon contacted us and is going to send 140 ventilators," Cuomo added. "Which is I can tell you just astonishing and unexpected. And I want to thank Gov. Brown, I want to thank all of the people in the state of Oregon for their thoughtfulness."
