However, I'm very glad to read this report while still a little concerned about the ventilator issue.
Oh, and if they do this Belmont day and match my losers Rene will be OK.
Just went back to my previous link to see if maybe I missed something and this was on the home page:

Rush maybe my choice if I needed a by-pass, Univ. of Chicago if I was pregnant with complications or had cancer but none is better than Northwestern in regards to the brain and spine. All you need to know is when CPD officer Jim Mullen was shot in the face on duty it was NW who performed surgery and therapy. He could have been brought anywhere.
You'll also find that wealthy patients choose quality of care over comfort when sick or injured. A comfortable place for them to go and die is home whether it be primary or a vacaton home. If comfort was the first priority, Lake Forest Hospital would be tops in the nation.
