It will probably take some time to fully evaluate this hospital's approach. I doubt they'll utilize any procedures that are too risky - the threat of malpractice claims will keep them on their toes.

Quality of care should not be confused with quantity of care. If intense treatment over a short period results in better overall results, who can complain?

What a great discovery. I travel over 200 miles from the Tri-Cities, Washington to Seattle to be seen and treated at Virginia Mason as they have outstanding patient care, and practice exceptional medicine. Now I am discovering I save money too. How great! another reason to continue being a patient at V Mason!!
