Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital TOWN vs GOWN Patient care vs Research.
Life depends on choice of Cancer Hospital. In State medicine OHIP pays the same to Triple A and House League Cancer docs. The perks of First Class travel to International Conferences as an Invited Speaker comes to those who organise TRIALS. There is an conflict of interest between giving the Best available treatment to the Individual and the value of the person in a Trial. Patients are given papers to sign however Statistics Canada figures find that 46% of Canucks are FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE. They can read simple texts but can't fill forms.
Immuno-compromized patients need high level of Hospital hygiene. The appearance of Staff does not give confidence. Habd-washing is not evident. Only the use of less-than-effective Ethyl alcohol gel.
(ODETTE CANCER CENTRE @ SUNNYBROOK Hosp has higher level of hygiene and patient care. Possibly due to its location near the most wealthy part of Toronto: The Bridle Path)
