Defies American medical model

As someone who has recently become a patient at the Mayo Clinic, I thought I was imagining the positive experience. Now I know that their raisôn-d'etre of "Treat the patient, not the disease" was created at the establishment of the Clinic. This documentary, of course, focuses on the achievements and ground-breaking methods of the Mayo. Yet, it also showed that the Mayo brothers were not able to save their own father from an infection borne of a hand injury. There is a reason why people travel from all over the world to be treated at Mayo, and this documentary explains it.

I have expressed my surprise and delight, of my experience, to various personnel at the Mayo by saying, "You do not represent the American model of health care." This documentary elaborates on why that is true.
