I know alot of Bostonians are going to NEMC. is this "the" place to go? I'm thinking I need a change...or at least a good "once over" by a top-doc. (I've got the insurance...why not?).
The cardio I've been seeing has commented that "the" place is Mass General. has that changed? or was it ever so?
I got very sick a few years ago with what turned out to be an unknown infection. Local small-town hospital couldn't deal with me, so they sent me to St. E's...which I thought was "Tufts". when I reported this event to my regular cardio after the fact, he commented that if anything like that should ever happen again, I should go to MGH.
Anyway, this illness...had high fever..104+...fever spiked during the night, and I had symptoms of CHF. (fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, etc). They feared endocarditis, but it turned out not to be. never figured out what it was, and it disappeared as quickly as it came on. they were making plans to send me home w/ a pic line, 6 weeks of IV-antibiotics, etc. but it just disappeared.
off the subject, sort of...but from my experience there, I thought that "Tufts" was affiliated w/ St. E's...while I see people here referring to "Tufts-NEMC". If NEMC is "the" place for HCMers, why did they send me to St.E's? (this was 5 years ago, nearly, now that I think of it. perhaps things have changed?).
and I guess my cardio thinks that the "Harvard" dudes are "the" people to see.
