I guess it depends on what you're gong there for. John spent 5 months there and received excellent care. And when we compare it to the other three hospitals he had the misfortune to experience, Hopkins still came out on top. But as good as they are, they have their biases, issues and glitches. But you would be hard pressed to find a major medical institution that doesn't.

We had a terrific Doc but not all docs are created equal. Every three weeks a new Attending was in charge and clearly, some were better than others. But our doc was involved throughout. It was an intense time.

Every year when we go back for a follow-up, we do tell them the supplements John is on. They can say what they want about them. If they have any objections to them, we will take that into consideration as to whether or not to continue with them. Since John is no longer on any medicines, it make this discussion a lot easier.
