Miller children's hospital

May 9th

After seeing so many differences between health care in the USA and the Netherlands, it's nice to see some similarities! Pediatric oncology care in the USA is rather comparable to the care in the Netherlands. Of course there are more patients in the USA, but the number of available beds are comparable, and the same accounts for the treatment and outcome.

Miller children's hospital is a wonderful building. Of course private money/ charity made it possible to build it.

Take a quick look at the poster above. Is it not strange that these kind of posters are actually necessary in a civilized country? Of course you treat every patient: you have sworn the oath of Hippocrates! By the way, hospitals are obliged to treat patients, but MD's aren't. Doctors can refuse to treat a patient if the think that they won't make enough money when treating him or her.

Take a closer look at the poster. You have the right to be stabilized.....
