Protip: Best hospital in KC is St. Luke's on the Plaza.

If you have some weird cancer, you go to KU, but for everything else, you go to St. Luke's.

This is not goEMAWing...this is 100% true...someone close to me works at KUmed and they're planning an expansion, and they asked the employees to donate for the expansion.  Like just auto deduct some amount from each paycheck.  How rough ridin' poor do you have to be to ask the employees to fund an expansion?  Pretty rough ridin' poor is my guess.

Oh also she tells me stories all the time of how incompetent they are from a management and staffing perspective.

The GF works at KU and was complaining about how they switched their beverage contract from pepsi to RC Cola/Shasta or something to save some money. They also changed the types of IV's they use to a cheaper kind to save like $250,000 a year, all the nurses are pissed because they arent as safe.

I heard a rumor the med school doesn't even need a building anymore. Something about all the lectures being podcasted and posted online for the students to watch at their own convenience from their living rooms, hence the ability to expand the Wichita and Salina campuses. The only reason they ever stepped foot on campus was for monthly computerized exams (taken in the library), weekly mandatory meetings, occasional simulations, and cadaver lab, which if trends continue may eventually be phased out in favor of 3D anatomy software.

Also a great place to be born.

This is why I frequent gE.  It's my no-frills one-stop stop for all things KU related. I would strongly recommend goEMAW.com to a fellow friend or relative with KU interests!

Everyone you know from KU already reads this board.
