100% true !!!

I can read new studies till end of times - until findings are part of "standard of care", they are useless. I can plead for MO to no end - my husband will not see him until all "boxes" are checked on scheduling screen.

Second point also true - every facility will push with what they have available and by a "big kahuna" (whoever that is at that particular facility). Staffing status and amount of funding will also determine of how patients are stratified .

So, waiting it is ... or not, if you have means or if you have luck.
