Oh so I guess that guy who saw him on the plane was not kidding BTW, what a relief. Phew! The last thing us rockets fans want to hear is an injury to one of our starters. I pray that this is not a sign of things to come. Basketball gods, no injuries please...pretty please.
In the other thread denniscd hinted at something going on. I thought this deserved its own thread. I hope this won't lead to future problems for him.
Houston has one of the best of not THE best medical centers in the world, and he has to to go MN?? Maybe the doctors at Hermann couldn't handle the tests and didn't want him going down the street to Methodist so they sent him to Minni F'N Sota. LOL
Then again look what Methodist has done for the likes of A. Green, Toni Boselli, and Dom Davis... lol.
Houston's medical centers don't even make the top 18 in the US. Besides, have you ever been to Minnesota before making such silly comment?
I don't know how that's possible considering how many people even from out of country come to Houston to get treatment and well known the city is for it's great medical center. Memorial Hermann had one of the first life flights and they are the busiest of them all. Nevermind, read how they got their list, all the hospitals had to meet certain criteria before they were considered for the list. May have just not had what they wanted.
I think this list of top 18 ranks a hospital very high if it "specializes" in a lot of things. But this list doesn't list a hospital if it is the best at only one thing. For example, Texas Children's isn't on this list cause it only specializes in piedatric care. For that matter, there are no children hospitals at all on this list. I guess that means our children must be getting inferior care? TCM, as a whole, is world class ...but any given hospital has it's specialties.
That's a very deceptive list. All in all, Houston is regarded as one of the best cities in the world for medical care. People fly in from all over the world for our cancer institutes, pediatric centers, and heart clinics. If you have a condition which needs a highly specialized facility, Houston is absolutely the place where you receive the best treatments.
The Mayo Clinic is surely one of the best medical facilities in the world. That being said, the Houston Medical Center was not considered as a whole in the quoted article from US News and WR.........only the individual hospitals within the system. From a healthcare perspective, I'd feel very fortunate to live around Rochester, but I feel pretty good living in Houston as well. BTW---this thread has been up for over a day and nobody has made any comments about other Rockets who need to have their "heart" checked out. What is this board coming to?
Which one of the current Rockets would you say it about? There isn't a person on the team who would make it a funny
