When you or a loved one is sick, you want to get the best healthcare there is.  This is a decision that you have to get right.  That's why we are so grateful to have five of the world's best hospitals right here in New England, according to newsweek.com.  

The data compiled was from a list of 2,400 hospitals across the globe.  Each hospital's score was based on an online survey of more that 85,000 medical experts, and public data from patients themselves.

When choosing a hospital for treatment, you should consult someone you trust to talk it over.  There is obviously a lot of positives about these hospitals, but when it comes to your health, you should consider all factors.  Maybe these hospitals are not convenient for you, but you have friends that work at a more convenient location, it's totally up to you.  You're the boss of your healthcare.

I am thrilled that we have these hospitals right here, basically in our backyard.  We should expect the best, considering that the medical field generates $4.24 trillion dollars worldwide, according to Newsweek.  That's a lot of band-aids.
