This says teaching status does not influence outcome , either better or worse. Not what most of us have believed in the past. Article here:

But to confuse the issue, another article in same issue of journal says academic institutions play an important role in translating new procedures and knowledge into practice.

So, don't shut down the teaching hospitals just yet?

I was an inpatient at a teaching hospital and found the experience rather horrible, although I blame the deaf doctor and not his students. I'm not really sure what type of answers you're looking for, but neither type of hospital's done much for me in the way of diagnosing..although when I was in the hospital one of the students traveling around with the main doctor was convinced I had Lyme. Big doctor-man had a good laugh at that suggestion. Whadya know? My llmd's been getting more and more calls from hospital doctors interested in learning about the disease, which can only be a step in the right direction.

I did'nt click on your links Lou...

But in answer to your posted question...all I can say is...

The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland and Case Western Reserve University Hospital ducktors...

Had no clue as to what I had and when I eventually told them had no clue how to treat me...

So as far as I'm concerned they all suck!

Generally, for a Lyme patient, worse.
