Someone I know was diagnosed with cancer. In Oklahoma they were prescribed a treatment plan. They went for a second opinion at MD Anderson. Anderson said that plan was dangerous and very well might lead to a bad outcome. The Oklahoma team said MD Anderson's plan would lead to a bad outcome. MD Anderson gets tougher cases and has the best overall outcomes of any hospital in the world so they went with them. They're fine now and the standard of care at MD Anderson is mind blowing. At MD, a nurse comes in to draw blood and the whole routine is an organized set of steps. If one step changes, they throw away the kit, wash their hands and start over. In Oklahoma nurses just kind of did things however they wanted and gloves seemed more to protect them from the patients than to protect the patients from an accidental infection. There was just zero comparison in the overall standard at MD Anderson. Add in their outcome averages and the question becomes why wouldn't someone travel from Ohio to Texas.
