Aside from CCF, we also have University Hospital, which is one of the best pediatric hospitals in the country. Rainbow Babies is ranked second in the US, and UH is ranked very high in 5 other specialties.
Wasn't Rainbow Babies supposed to do the separation of twins who were older? I can't remember how old? But because of where they were joined at decided not to do it? I just vaguely remember that story because the article I read about it said something about how our Rainbow Babies was like the only hospital that would even consider doing it or something. I think they were from Egypt...
