Don't Hold the Mayo...

In fact, slather it on! Everybody has heard of the Mayo Clinic, but can anyone tell me why they're famous? Anyone? From you know where:

"Mayo Clinic specializes in hard-to-treat diseases, and is known for innovative and effective treatments for diseases that had gone undiagnosed or under-treated in the same patients with other doctors. Mayo Clinic is known for being at the top of most accredited quality standard listings."

You'll recall that Rory's blood samples were sent to the Mayo Clinic earlier this week to confirm the Lymphocytic Ganglionitis reported in the pathology results. LG is a rare auto-immune problem where your own white blood cells attack the ganglion cells in your gut, thinking that they are foreign invaders. In the worst case scenario, the impacted portion of your gut is rendered useless.

Apparently, word of Rory's popularity in the medical community traveled along with her sample, because what we thought would be weeks for the results was just a few days. The Mayo Clinic has given her a clean bill of health, no presence of Lymphocytic Ganglionitis!
