Why Doesn't The "World's Smartest Woman" Have Her Husband In A Better Hospital?

Posted on 09/03/2004 8:58:24 PM PDT by Doctor Raoul

This is a serious thread, I am not joking about this issue.

I was talking to a very respected surgeon earlier tonight, and that was their question to me.

Columbia is a teaching hospital, the surgeons don't get as much experience, they have to also teach. Plus even among the City's teaching hosiptals, it's not the best.

So why Columbia?

Did he have to wait 19 hours in the emergency room like the rest of us?

If you think he is getting some random set of doctors that just happen to be at this hospital that your contacts tell you is bad, I think you are oddly mistaken.

There is no doubt in my mind that Clinton is getting the best money can buy.

Because Columbia has bigger windows so he can see freeper devils in the parking lot?

Seriously, perhaps because it is closer to where he was or may that is where his favorite doctor is? He could go anywhere. I don't get it either.

"There is no doubt in my mind that Clinton is getting the best money can buy."

Yep. Remember, he loves to remind everybody about just how rich he is. So don't think that money ain't gettin' spent.

I have to disagree with you about teaching hospitals. Some of the best surgeons are in teaching hospitals. the problem with them if you are an ordinary guy is that you don't know whose cut'n on you. I worked at Shands at U of F (Gators) and this one guy killed 3 patients on the table before they pulled him. I worked in Neuro.

Huh. So all of a sudden, the focus is on excellence rather than skin color or sexual orientation. Isn't America's greatest strength its Diversity? Shouldn't Clinton have a surgical staff that looks like America?

FWIW, she's not the smartest woman in the world. He's proven that he deserves her. And I'd take that hospital over any other in another country.

So why Columbia?

If your information is correct my only answer is that she is listed as beneficiary..........

Who picked it? Him or her?

Is there any reason why Bill can't have some leading
specialist flown in to perform the operation?

I can think of explanations for "why", but many of
them get way too conspiratorial.

I also have a serious question about this. As POTUS Clinton had the best medical care and I would think he'd have had various stress tests, PET scan, "Heart Check" etc, and if so, why were we always told he was in excellent health? Wouldn't a problem this severe have shown up 4-5 years ago?

I would think the best will be flown in or will be assisting or observing.

No way a President gets only OK care.

He also has to watch out for meningitis while in a hospital, that gets to recovering patients in hospitals all the time.

Remember how classless the left was in making jokes of Cheneys health?

I wonder if they're taking notes about our treatment of old B.J. bacon double cheese Whopper for a heart?

Oh di dI just step over the line?
