<<I hate to say it, but if she has good insurance, that makes a big difference in the care she's going to get>> The hospital should know how fast we got her sister there. Large medical bills might be covered if she walks out. None if she doesn't.

This is almost horrifying now. Someone we all know and love is in very serious trouble and we don't know if the care she's getting is the best, what, exactly, is wrong with her, the background and proficiency of the hospital and doctors, what treatments they've tried or have failed to try, whether they are in a box or "thinking out of the box" and if it would be better to get her to another hospital with top doctors -- if her sister would agree to it -- and IF she has the insurance to cover it. Folks, I feel like I'm in some kind of twisted nightmare!

You are quite right. JLA talked to one of the doctors, and was well- impressed, and the cousins said the other physician they had spoken to was even better. They are not residents. However, whether or not the relevant specialists have all looked things over is always a question. The tests have been extensive, but pretty standard, from what I gather. They have to look at obscure things now, if there is hope for a course of treatment.......
