Most Prestigious Hospital?
Which hospitals/medical institutions have the most prestige? I'm talking about workplaces where you get paid a shit ton for doing surgeries n shit. Hoping this will help prospect med/pharma bros.
I'll start.
Texas Medical Center (largest hospital in the world, Dr. Nowzaradan works there), Blue Cross Blue Shield (have almost bankrupted my family once), John Hopkins (obvious), Wuhan Institute of Virology (pretty self-explanatory)
Here are the top 20 hospitals named to U.S. News' 2020-21 Best Hospitals Honor Roll, including ties:

Emory snubbed
Very surprised Sloane-Kettering didn't make it. Granted, oncology focused but absolute top tier center of care.
Yeah I was surprised too.
Pretty sure it ranks highly in the oncology-focused rankings. Obviously there are a lot of departments of care in any given hospital, and the best orthopedic surgeons may not end up at the same places as the best oncologists.
Sloane Kettering in particular seems to be known much more for its oncology than anything else.
nice I was born in a top 10 hospital, v preftige birth
Wow born into preftige, nice.
Danbury Hospital, Fairfield CT. Duh.
I have nothing to back up this statement besides the fact that I was born there. My older brother was also born there, and he's an okay lawyer. One time when I was in high school, I fell off the roof of my buddy's house and fucked up my arm - was taken there to be fixed up. Had an absolute rocket of a nurse there too, so +1 for that. My wife does not see me writing this message currently
From what I've heard and seen- Mass General(Harvard), Mayo Clinic, Duke, UCLA, Hopkins, NYU, UCSF, Columbia, Emory, Stanford, Northwestern, Cleveland Clinic, Brigham, Barnes and Jewish(WashU).
Waiting for the ‘I was born at a semi-target hospital but transferred to a target hospital NICU (think JHU/MGH) what are my chances?’ threads.
is this some kind of sick joke that I'm too European to understand?
no. Just uninformed
if your parents have a heart attack where are you sending them?
Your two choices are :
St Thomas’ in London(arguably the most prestigious with a cardiac unit ) or Derriford(ranked the worst hospital in the NHS)
i live in London so i wouldn't send them to Plymouth, what a stupid comparison
Medicine compensation doesn't work like that. Ironically the top institutions actually pay less than the shittest hospitals in the US. Past residency you aren't paid for performance in medicine (unless you rise to management roles), as its seen as unethical to have "better" and "worse" hospitals/physicians I.e. all cardiologists are trained to a certain level and are seen as equal. Healthcare services are basically charged at the same price in most places - its not like other industries where better firms charge a lot more.
So intra speciality medicine compensation is purely dictated by physician supply and demand. Obviously more physicians would rather live in nicer cities and work in more prestigious hospitals therefore these places can pay less as the market is saturated. Compare that to a shitty hospital in the middle of nowhere north dakota they have to pay a shit ton just to attract a physician to move there. This is usually funded my medicare/medicaid as there's barely any private insurance patients in those areas.
This leads to a really weird compensation system where big cities are inversely correlated with pay which is pretty much the opposite to every other career. Think of it like the Goldman discount but on steroids.
The doctors at mayo clinic and Cleveland clinic will be the ones who love medicine the most but the killers who print money won't be working there.

Gastroenterologist listing offering $1.5-2M in Anchorage Alaska.

Gastroenterologist listing offering $400-500k at Mount Sinai in NYC (very prestigious hospital)
Only exception is plastic/cosmetic surgery which make a way more in big cities but that's because they are directly charging the patient and not receiving insurance reimbursements/employed by a hospital.
#1 ortho: Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS)
FYI you need to learn how medicine works, you're going about it all wrong. The big money is in private practice. Location is also a factor. Associating with highly visible hospitals is part marketing, part diversification of income streams, part networking opportunity for research/pharma. Yeah the administrators in hospitals can make a lot of money but even so the private practice doctors can be making 2x 3x or more than them.
You should see some of the work coming out of the Thai and Korean hospitals. Top notch. You wouldn't even know what used to be there.
