I wonder and I don't have any answers. But I am wondering if some doctors are better than others and their surgery patients have less pain and a shorter time of it? I am going to have my own Robot Assisted Upper Left Lobectomy in October preformed by the Chair of the Mayo Clinic Thoracic Surgery department at Rochester. I am in a study and the heads of the Radiation department and the head of Thoracic Surgery department are working my stage 3a and writing papers on it. For my Chemo, I have the Blue Teem and all their bio's look good, my Chemo nurse is a APRN, C.N.P. with a M.S.N. They are assigning all the top tier teams to work on my case, because it works they will be able to add a step to the care routine for 2 & 3a lung cancer and make more money. Every time I have told someone, doctors or nurses that my doctor back home is upset that I went to Mayo and not treat it our local hospital. Everyone one of them have said the same thing to me, it's about the MONEY, it's always about the money...
