Thanks for giving a positive and different perspective. I'm glad you had a good experience. Hospitals (generally) are trying to do their best under extremely trying circumstances. Some perform better than others without a doubt. The oncologists I worked with were very special people as were their nurse practitioners. They have made slow steady progress in a very difficult field. I doubt that you would have survived a generation ago, and now you are in remission. That's great and I'm crossing my fingers for you that the remission continues indefinitely. I would say that in general medical care in many hospitals is good to excellent. There's always room for a lot of improvement, but it is certainly encouraging to hear your story. But still I hope to spend as much of my life outside a hospital as possible. Nursing home type medicine is depressing for sure.
