Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 FRIDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Patient trust of doctors is highest in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Boston, Denver and Philadelphia, according to a new survey. The survey of 41,148 people also found that doctors in all the nation's 20 largest cities scored higher than doctors in rural areas in terms of trust, whether the patient would recommend the doctor, and other indicators of patient satisfaction. The results were released by the health-care ratings organization HealthGrades. In the 20 cities, an average of 66.2 percent of patients said they "definitely, yes" trusted their doctors to make decisions/recommendations in their best interests, compared to an average of 61.1 percent in rural areas. Here are the results for the 20 cities: Houston (70 percent); Dallas-Fort Worth (69.2 percent); Boston (68.2 percent); Denver (67.9 percent); Philadelphia (67.8 percent); Chicago (67.7 percent); Miami (67.4 percent); Washington, D.C.-Baltimore (67.3 percent); Seattle (66.7 percent); New York (66.4 percent); Detroit (66.3 percent); Cleveland (66.2 percent); Phoenix (64.9 percent); St. Louis (64.5 percent); Tampa-St. Petersburg (64.4 percent); San Diego (64.2 percent); Los Angeles (63.4 percent); Orlando (62.7 percent); Atlanta (62.6 percent); San Francisco (62.1 percent.................... http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20060908/hl_hs...HNlYwNtZW5ld3M- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Is there a random MD Anderson discussion topic? I've heard there are people from the Middle East who pay cash for cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Kind of makes you wonder about the world-class doctors in the TMC.

I've heard there are people from the Middle East who pay cash for cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Kind of makes you wonder about the world-class doctors in the TMC. About 10 years ago, I had a family member who used to work for Aramco. His job was basically to coordinate and fly in Aramco employees and their family for cancer treatment from Saudi Arabia. The company used to pay for the cancer treatment, the housing (most of the time they lived in the Double Tree next to the galleria, I think they had some kind of contract with them), and a spending allowance. He used to work with about 10 patients per month, often times they would be here for a couple of months to a year then fly back when they're done. He no longer works there so I'm not sure if things have changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it makes you wonder. What difference does it make if treatment is mostly paid by insurance company or patient? Either way the doctor gets paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
