It's a site run, under the radar, seemingly by an ex employee
of the Mayo Clinic. Here's an excerpt: "With national and international expansion and an insatiable appetite for
growth, money and regional domination at any cost, problems have become so routine that an independent Guide To Surviving
The Mayo Clinic is a necessity." After reading some of the postings you may well wonder why anyone would want
to work at such a place.

The implication is that the Mayo is money grubbing. The Mayo Clinic spin meisters of course claim pure altruistic motives.
The Mayo Clinic enjoys a non-profit organisation status. The CEO, Dr. Dennis Cortese has a salary
of $1.5 million per year and, according to The Twin City Business Journal, this puts Dr. Cortese at the top of the list for
2006 of the highest paid non profit CEOs in Minnesota. I'm not qualified to say if this is excessive, but obviously,
the Twin City Business Journal thought it notable.
