I rave about the Cleveland Clinic down here in the Lower Keys. I won't alloow any of my friends or aquaintances to go elsewhere for serious medical care. I've told a half-dozen friends I will drive them up there, show them what extended hotel to stay in, and how I'll drive them back to the Keys If they have serious medical Issues needing top notch Doctors and Nurses. The best care in the State of Florida is in the Cleveland Clinic Weston. It is the cleanest hospital In America, so I never worried about sepsis In my after surgery. Sepsis killed my father In a cramped hospital In Richmond, VA, a hospital which felt dank and dirty. The surgeons were top notch. But the maintence and cleaning crews were overwhelmed In a building erected in the 1930s.
