So, I finally heard back from the folks over at Mayo Clinic... and get this: the earliest they can even get me in for a consultation is November 1st. If I actually wanted to see Dr. Matek himself? I’d be looking at February or March of 2018. And then we're talking another year-long wait just for the actual surgery. Like, are you kidding me? It’s a joke. Though, hey, if I just handed Matek 5,000 bucks in cash, I’d probably jump to the front of the line, no sweat. Seriously though, I should probably ask him if he takes kidneys as payment instead. I've got two, so maybe one would cover the bill...

So, I reached out to Dr. Matek’s clinic... they quoted me like $3,500I’ve got an appointment set for the 17th with Dr. Frost, so I guess I'll just roll with that and see what happens... unless I can somehow hawk a kidney on the black market before then...

I mean, I could probably scrape together enough cash for an appointment somewhere else, too... I’ve heard things about Dr. Matek, but honestly, does he actually take Medicare for this specific surgery, or am I looking at paying out of pocket for that one as well? 25 $0.00not a clue,,,,,,,

So, I’m curious about something... Dr. čičak is asking for $25,000 $0.00 for this arthroscopic surgery to fix a torn tendon. Honestly, that much cash is just insane for someone living on a pension. Does anyone actually know where I can get this done without losing an arm and a leg? Or maybe somewhere I could use my Medicare coverage without having to sit around waiting a year or two for the surgery to finally happen?
