Sinusitis Experience #005
No Cure For Sinusitis

Maybe this is not exactly the kind of bad experience related to sinusitis you are expecting. But, since it is related and was really a very bad experience, I feel it should be made public.

About two years ago, in bad need for help, and tempted by the great fame of Mayo Clinic, I decided to see if they could help.

Thus, I requested, by mail, from my hometown of Rio de Janeiro, an appointment for sinusitis treatment that was confirmed for a few weeks later.

My surprise and great disappointment was that after an examination that did not take more than five minutes, I was told that there is no known cure for sinusitis.

My complaint is that I was made to travel over 20,000 miles, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Jacksonville, Florida, to be told there is no cure for me.

Considering the wasted time and high expenses of such a unnecessary trip, I can't help but to consider this kind of treatment totally irresponsible and unacceptable, especially coming from such a hallowed institution as the Mayo Clinic.
