Change your career course, or if nothing else, please, please go into research!!!!

I don't care HOW smart you think you are, or HOW critical your actions are, it takes NOTHING to be civil, NOTHING!

So get over your degree (that you don't have yet) and bring to the table the humanity and compassion necessary to practice medicine, or think again about what you really want (six figure salary maybe?)

Unfortunately, the very methodology which is supposed to provide data to allow patients to make informed decisions about where they should seek the best care, is probably causing hospitals to discriminate against patients who may require a higher level of skill to achieve positive outcomes. My son has needed an MRI for 6 years. Doctors have stated that if he were not autistic, he would have gotten one easily, but they continue to deny him one because they say the sedation with an autistic can be risky. They repeatedly beat me up for bringing him into the ER and constantly pressure me to have him placed in a psychiatric facility. He has symptoms and blood work indicating a brain tumor. I don't think they're equipped to deal with that in a psychiatric facility. The hospital that has refused him treatment for the last two years is on the US News and World Reports "Best" list. In fact Duke uses it on every TV ad, webpage, and print ad they take out. They're the Best as long as it's easy.

With the swine flu outbreak, AIDS, and the major focus on reducing hospital-associated infections such as MRSA, Clostridium difficile, and others the fact that you do not rank hospitals for their Infectious Disease programs stands out like a sore thumb.

Why not? Strong infectious disease departments are essential to the functioning of great hospitals and they are invaluable community assets, especially when problems like the recent swine flu pandemic arise. It seems obvious that this is a specialty you should rank.
