Pretty good completion of the best: Stanford Medical School. Harvard Medical School. Yale Medical School. Johns Hopkins Medical School. Duke University Medical School. University of Pennsylvania Medical School. UCSF Medical School. University of Michigan Medical School. I was not trying to make a point in my post but offer information as to MY experience with what has been happening in our Country with regard to medicine per se. I am not making any assertion that our medical schools are not great and don't see how you could have gotten that out of what I wrote unless you think it was implied. Actually they are probably better today with the new procedures that are done and the discoveries that are being made: DNA, stem cell,MRI's that one can stand up to have etc. I think my cousin was more concerned about the cost of LIABILITY .. insurance raises than in paper work but have had it from sources that the help in the outer offices it not great and some mistakes have bee made. No paid enough ? No ax to grind, no point to make other than you all can use what I posted as fodder for further discussions. As for me, I am satisfied with my medical plan from my school. It is a New York State employee plan. I haven't had too many health problems to utilize it but when I do have problems I am very satisfied.
