Back2Buff Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 The Bills medical staff has been great for a long time now, but it just affirmed itself again. On PMT, Will Compton was talking about how he was doing a physical with the Bills last year when the medical staff found a white spot on his brain. They immediately notified Compton and told him it is concern for his life, forget about just football. He ended up going back to Washington and have them taking care of it due to the insurance. It turned out to be a cyst, but he sounded very thankful for the Bills finding it. 17 1
DFT Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Good group that doesn’t get NEARLY the credit they should. Dr Bisson is truly incredible. 7

Lot of sick people here? no..Rosewell Park was named 14th best cancer facility in the country is my best example...as a cancer survivor get tested early like I did so it can be better controlled. 5

Not to knock anything, I just hear locals say that a lot and wonder how true it is. UB is a huge medical school/campus. Children's is a great hospital too. Not to mention Catholic Health and Kaleida have a lot of facilities. Buffalo is saturated with medical in proportion to population Edited July 29, 2020 by Back2Buff

Not to knock anything, I just hear locals say that a lot and wonder how true it is. They are really building a great medical center. Brand new UB medical school. Brand new Childerns hospital. Roswell. A bunch if other good hospitals. The city is making being a medical hub a big part of the fabric of Buffalo.
First Round Bust Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Rosewell Park is now #14 up from #30 which is a good indicator of progress...even tho John Hopkins is #4 they couldnt help a friend who recently passed at age 34 with 3 kids under age 4...get tested early and spread the word esp when you or someone you know is around age 50....PSA and colonoscopy...please....please... For the 2020-21 ranking, U.S. News & World Report evaluated 899 hospitals that see many complex cancer patients. Hospitals had to treat at least 197 Medicare inpatients in 2016, 2017 and 2018 in order to be eligible for this ranking. For more on the methodology, click here. Here are the top 10 hospitals named to U.S. News & World Report's 2020-21 Best Hospitals for Cancer list: 1. University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston) 2.

University of California San Francisco Medical Center Not all of those are designated NCI Comprehensive Cancer Centers or Cancer Centers, which is an extremely difficult designation to get. Rankings are based on doctors opinions of other doctors and hospitals. Roswell was known for decades as a Head and Neck caner treatment powerhouse, but it seems that they lost their top surgeon and team some time ago (Jim Kelly's surgeon, he who left Roswell to go to ECMC--of all places!). Still a solid Cancer Center. Children's Hospital is fairly new, but not a great reputation and not full service. Kaleida has some quality problems too.

Well, considering that Fifty states have multiple health facilities each... so yes at 14 , it is among the best in the country. Go Bills!!!
kota Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 McD upgraded the medical staff when he took over. It's top notch now.

He said they were looking at him to help replace Preston Brown In the interview he mentioned that on his medical records that something seemed odd to the bills and they wanted to look for them selves(bills). They performed a MRI. Said the conversation changed very quickly from signing with the bills to potentially fighting for his life. Luckily it ended up being just a cyst.
