It is surprising that Mercy Hospital would run a full page ad in the DI (Jan. 24) bragging about its lack of teaching and research. Isn’t this another way of saying that it’s not interested in being on the cutting edge of health-care advancements?
My study subjects at the UI Hospitals and Clinics appreciate both the opportunities to access the newest cancer treatments and the satisfaction of knowing they are contributing to the advancement of cancer treatment. When they are faced with a miserable illness, they find some satisfaction knowing they may help someone in the future who walks in their shoes.
I’m sorry Mercy Hospital patients don’t have the same opportunities.
