Doctor Quote by Anonymous
““Mayo also has standards for how its physicians communicate with one another (for instance, when paged, they must respond immediately) and how they interact with patients (before out-of-town patients with complex conditions are discharged, physicians must meet with them for “exit” visits to discuss their ongoing care and answer questions).””
