Wow. I was taken way out of context on this one. Cover my ass? I stand by what I said. Yes, Stanford can take care of itself (I googled and its endowment is somewhere in the billions). So its a research hospital, that doesn't mean that the research they do is going to save lives. I'm not saying its not a noble thing to do, just that if you are going to give $28 million and brag about it, it better be for a damn good cause. Stanford Hospital, in my opinion, is not. Peace.
