16 year olds girls write letters to rockstars and actors, occasionally the ill grandmother. 

I write letters to the Mayo Clinic,

composing emails in utmost detail.

I write letters to the Mayo Clinic because maybe if I describe my symptoms, blood tests, and lab evals enough, maybe something will click and they will know what is wrong  with me. 

I tried writing a letter to a rockstar once

All I asked him was if he knew what kind of sick I could be.

I never got a response.

Sometimes I wish Grey's Anatomy was real, because surely they could diagnose me.

I tried writing a letter to Patrick Dempsey once, 

I never got a reply.

My aunt lives in Minneapolis, so if they ever wanted to meet me

for some tests,

I would have a place to stay. 

I write letters to Mayo Clinic, 

I'm still waiting for a reply.
