Default Admittance to Gainsville or Mayo Clinic in Jax

I am very concerned about a neighbor who has had two mini strokes and gastro problems within the last 9 months. The doctors here have not been much help. She had terrible gastro problems yesterday and when she called her gastro doctor, she was told she could be seen in late September.

Her neurologist just keeps pumping medicine into her and ordering tests and did not repond to her request for a referral. She has been to the ER several times and hospitalized once.
She has asked her internist to refer her to Mayo but with no success - more pills and tests.

Has anyone been to Gainsvillle or Mayo Clinic and, if so, do you need a referral from your personal physician?

Would appreciate any info you might have.

Thanks,
wiw
