Really? If the Northeast hospitals are so much better, why did an NFL player for Buffalo come all the way to Houston for his treatment?

Apparently the "inferior" hospital in Houston did a pretty good job...

Really? If the Northeast hospitals are so much better, why did an NFL player for Buffalo come all the way to Houston for his treatment?

Perhaps this will explain it....(from Wikipedia):

"As of October 1, 2007, Everett had been relocated to Houston, near his family and off-season home where he will begin a long rehabilitation that doctors believe will lead to his eventually walking again."

Long rehab....a long hospital stay....makes sense that he'd want to be close to home if possible.

And for the record...I never said that any particular hospital...or hospitals in a particular state...were inferior in any absolute sense.I have no doubt that it's possible to....actually,easy to....get top notch health care in Houston,Dallas and perhaps elsewhere in TX (Brooke Army Medical Center comes to mind).

This whole thing seems to have deteriorated into a "Massachusetts (or the Northeast) sucks" thing which is unfortunate because it needn't have happened.

Oh well....sensitive people.
