i've read alot on here about places such as mayo clinic, cleveland clinic, etc.
i was just wondering, is there alot more of a benefit going to a place like that as opposed to your own hospital?
For instance I'm at Rush North Shore in Skokie (near Chicago) which is affiliated with Rush University Hospitals (my surgeon is actually there at Rush Univ. downtown, as is supposed to be tops in the field in colorectal cancers and surgeries and such)
So is there something i might be missing by being at my hospital as opposed to going to a mayo clinic or cleveland clinic? (i know my pathology results were sent to a mayo clinic for further testing before being sent back to my surgeon with their opinions on them. but i didn't even know they were being sent there.)
what is the consensus on the pros and cons of either or?
