I hate TOBEY!!! When I had my heart attack in th spring I went there and then got transferred to St. Lukes, that was better.
I use to live on the Cape and went to Cape Cod Hos and they are great!! I and my wife always go there if possible. And Tobey is only 5 min away from my house now. Hope all goes well!!

Had a similar experience when my Dad was being treated at South Shore Hospital before he died. Nice facilities, really nice people, but with all the world class hospitals just 10-15 miles away in Boston, just kept thinking we could do better for my old man. That is where my Mom wanted him to be treated though, and you need to keep the patient's and those closest to the patient's wishes in mind.

Just after writing that I got an update that she was getting worse. I was able to convince her to go to Boston and we got her into Beth Israel.
Looks like it will be a long week... Oh, this morning Tobey was guessing "H1N1", we had to don robes, masks and gloves to enter the room. It's not H1N1, idiots.

OK, I have been hesitant to post an update as it has just been just a roller coaster ride and I have been so busy between work and going to the Hospital. Took my Mom to Beth Israel in Boston over a week ago. Her health was declining and they intubated her. New years eve she was declining so fast that they expected her to live another 2-4 hours. Then she "stabilized" and she has been slowly recovering one day and then not doing well another. My Mom has actually been getting much better for a couple days now!
Her white blood count is down from 50K to 21K (5-10K is normal). They are talking about taking her off the respirator soon. They think she does not have cancer, but they actually don't know what the "infection" is...

Well that's better news. We will continue to keep her in our prayers for a speedy recovery.
