Having worked at one of Boston's world famous hospitals for almost 30 years there's one thing that I know for a fact...a very,*very* important fact.

That is: more research money,public and private,flows into Boston's hospitals and medical schools than into any other city on earth.

That's how you *really* determine quality of health care.US News is,today,nothing more than there ratings.They depend on ad revenue and other considerations from these hospitals.It's kinda like Health Food Monthly naming "Whole Foods" as the best supermarket in the country.

My experience in health care has taught me that there are many,many *outstanding* hospitals in this great nation.They're found in major cities like New York,LA and San Francisco.They're also found in "second tier" cities like Boston,Cleveland,Baltimore,Rochester,Minnesota and Pittsburg.

But Boston's at the top of the heap.

Just sayin'...

So which ones are the best when it comes to treating people?

Cleveland clinic like that of OSU is top notch. Why? Because unlike most they have a network of very few hospitals that have live test lab and linked in shred output with minimal hospitals. Clinical trials and labs on site places them above the rest.

Minus the city it is located in and minus World News, there’s never been a doubt that Vleveland Clinic has been, is and always will be the top Cardio hospital in the US.

Nah. Baltimore is the epicenter of the medical world. Great hospitals all over, but really started here and continues.

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