I am pretty sure Consumer Reports Health does this but you have to be a subscriber. You might also try 1-800-CDC-INFO to see what they can recommend about checking. The CDC monitors hospital rates through several associations. Ask them about how to check on the surgeon as well. Checking him over daily, taking temp, palpating lymph nodes, belly, looking for swelling, redness, streaking of red, sore throat, nausea, skin eruptions - any sign out of the ordinary would warrant getting him checked out. Poor sweetie - he's sure been & still going through it. And you, too. I will be praying for you guys. Here's a hug! ♥♥♥ | Thank you so much!!!! I will see what I can find out. |
