Pediatric Surgery

Right patient, right clinical team, right facility, and right time: the Holy Grail of medical care and particularly true of surgery. I might throw in “right diagnosis” as well, as that should not always be considered a given. This basic premise of having patients cared for in the most optimal environment would be the backbone as well as the measuring stick of any worthwhile health care system that anyone might want to construct in an ideal wo rld. Yet, it is not how we function here in the United States, and we are not alone in this dilemma.
