OzMojo, I never thought to ask for the pedicure and manicure. Thanks for the tip, should I need to revisit that place. Around here, every cancer center has either a hospital tied to it or an ER just for cancer patients. They even have separate waiting rooms for immune compromised folks.

Boutique ER, Donfoo? Yes, we have one of those, too. The top floor of an orthopedic/plastics center has private rooms, valet parking and the nicest, plushest robes I've ever had on. They had to let me wear one when they were evaluating my burns at the plastic surgery clinic. It was especially nice to be naked in them and laying around posing for photos. I have quite a collection if you would like to see any. I would have to email then or private message them, though.

I guess there may be a difference in places that only operate as cancer centers, MD Anderson, MSKCC...to have an ER, which makes sense. Although, I went to several multi-centers that had oncology, otolaryngology floors, I only had to go a local hospital ER, right after chemo, and was put in isolation in the regular ER. There is one NYC hospital, NY Eye and Ear Infirmary that has a 24 hr ER for optical emergencies. I can relate to the "befuddled look" when I woke up blinded in one one eye. Went to a local ER, again, several hours later was told by the doctor that there was nothing they could do since no Opthomologist was available at that time, but at least I had one eye left! I didn't find it funny.

Just rambling on....
