Plot summary

The Mayo Clinic tells the story of a unique medical institution that has been called a "Medical Mecca," the "Supreme Court of Medicine," and the "place for hope where there is no hope." The Mayo Clinic began in 1883 as an unlikely partnership between the Sisters of Saint Francis and a country doctor named William Worrall Mayo after a devastating tornado in rural Minnesota. Since then, it has grown into an organization that treats more than a million patients a year from all 50 states and 150 countries. Dr. Mayo had a simple philosophy he imparted to his sons Will and Charlie: "the needs of the patient come first." They wouldn't treat diseases...they would treat people. In a world where healthcare delivery is typically fragmented among individual specialties, the Mayo Clinic practices a multi-specialty, team-based approach that has, from its beginnings, created a culture that thrives on collaboration.

A Peek Into What Health Care Could/Should Be

(Flash Review)

The nation needs to follow the Mayo's Vision as it truly puts people over profits. Not that profits aren't important but their passion to give patients the best possible best care is refreshing. The documentary does a nice job of blending historical chronology with modern patients health troubles and how Mayo attempted to cure them with unique approaches. Many of the unique or first of a kind cures are showcased. The vision of the original Mayo family is the underlying focus and is very impressive. One of the key factors that is still in practice today are that the Mayo Staff are salaried rather than paid by the quantity of patients or services they provide; needed or not.

extremely biased, but invasively good

Its the ken burns docu voice that makes me attached to this film about the mayo clinic. i remember when youung, there were people from my neighbourhood who had large heart surgeries at the mayo clinic, and everytime i hear the jingle''my grandma and your grandma, sittin' by the fire, making mayo mayo'' i do recal the same memories.

its said at least a health commercial en masse' tried well hidden into the historical presentation in this documentary, well why not, it covers the expenses and do have a great purpose from every part, as for me this is history lesson of high quality and should be seen even by the competitors of the health industry and insurance companies.

the grumpy old man thinks its a good documentary, and the doolittle stuff inbetween, just chew on it.

Collaborative efforts from the inception of the Mayo Clinic

In my opinion, this was an inspiring documentary about how medical solutions for excellent care can be achieved through collaborative efforts and on going education such as shown in this film. I enjoyed the photos and quotes from the three Dr. Mayos. One learns how the Mayo clinic began and how it continues it's commitment to education, social equality for health care, and fast accurate diagnosis and treatments at Mayo (past and present).
