3. Mayo clinic or Scottsdale healthcare system?

   ivan57 replied to extreme's topic in Arizona

   I know people who have worked at Mayo, and besides the wearing white factor...they hated it!! I guess that Mayo places themselves above anyone, and their rationale for everything is "Its the Mayo way of doing it". And Scottsdale Healthcare...better...
