If you can even get to these hospital without getting assaulted. I’ll take decent hospitals out in the burbs thank you very much.

Yeah I guess my father should be dead.

I disagree. As a patient/relative and as a nurse’s family friend.

Yeah but there aren’t many great ones in burbs. Those that are are usually part of the system of the greats (like my local hospital - only acquired by Hopkins in the last 20 years). And the greats are teaching hospitals - almost always “in town”.

For really big problems, I want a borderline-Asperger's nerd who doesn't know there is a person connected to the condition, but knows everything in the world about that condition.

LOL. That's a *great* answer! I look for the same, for both myself, and even my pets. :-)

But Boston's at the top of the heap.

I think it was Massachusetts General where my nephew served his two year Harvard Fellowship in Thoracic Surgery.........

That is a good answer.Long,long ago when my mother was very sick (and,as it turns out,was only a few months from death) she had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumor.It was performed by a top neurosurgeon at one of Boston's major hospitals.We all hated him because he had the "bedside manor" of an ill tempered robot.But when my mother would curse him we reminded her that you pay specialists like him for his skills...not his personality.

Why the hell would you post a source that requires a log in and not provide the full list? You get paid for that?
