Curious what others’ thoughts are. If you had the choice, would you choose to receive your own care or recommend family/friends to get care at an academic center or at a community hospital? And perhaps asking more specifically about getting surgeries or procedures done. Excluding unique/rare conditions or surgeries that may require super specialized care. Let’s say your family needs what is anticipated to be routine bypass surgery or spine/brain surgery. Some of my non medical friends have a perspective that getting them done at an academic center is better, and I can see where that impression comes from, but I’m not necessarily sure if that’s always true as a whole unless you are dealing with a particularly complex condition. Thoughts?   submitted by   /u/oatsoatsgoats [link]   [comments]
