CLINICAL EFFICIENCY v. RESEARCH.

from the BLOGGER.

Clinical research is valuable for the future.It provides glory, grant cash, personal perks and free trips to International conferences.

For the patient it is important to know whether one is an experimental Homo sapiens in a Trial

The patient wants BESPOKE medicine. Perfectly fitted to personal measurements.

This causes a conflict of interest especially in hospitals were docs are on salary and also where tenure depends on publication.

The best for a patient is a PRIVATE hospital whose function is not research but investigation and treatment.,
e.g King Edward VII--Sister Agnes in London, the UK Royal family's favorite, Or the PRIVATE section of a Teaching hospital.,e.g. Lindo wing of St Mary's ,Paddington.

The ideal is a SWISS hospital;clean, efficient, precise, and safe.

The USA Rochester Mayo is well-meaning but lacks investigational clinical precision
The laboratory postal service is excellent.

Toronto Princess Margaret hospital which houses the Ontario Cancer Research Institute attracts lots of Donor money for  furniture and fittings. Clinic organisation is pre-computer age. Important appointments overlap. Waiting time is in hours as appointments are block booked. There is no private wing. For the self-employed, visits are expensive as a full half-day must be allotted for a  15 min. visit.

More time efficient & comfortable is to travel by train or plane ( Toronto island airport ) to a PRIVATE hospital in Montreal e.g. ROCKLAND MD.
