re: Best comprehensive cancer care, Ochsner or LCMC?

Ochsner has the better facilities but LCMC probably has better staff. That said all I have are anecdotes, I know some fine doctors and nurse practitioners that work for Ochsner. I know fine ones that work at LCMC (they don't like the nurse practitioners as much though which according to TD should put them head and shoulders above ochsner automatically)
I have a friend alive today who had adolescent cancer (probably exogenous, related to the mill in bogalusa). I will never forget I was sitting with her waiting for class to start and she complained about some chronic back pain and I said 'you've had it too long you need to go to a doc and check that shite out don't wait!' lo and behold cancer of all things. After multiple cancer treatments Ochsner told her there was "nothing they could do for her." Her parents didn't accept this and took her to MD Anderson. She's now cancer free and has been for well over a decade now.
Let me restate that.
Ochsner doctors told her that she was going to die.
She went to MD Anderson.
She's been alive for 10+ years and is married with kids now.
on a side note I know at least at LCMC patients with covid are getting prescribed Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) as an adjunct, Friend told me a while back its still not used at Ochsner because, y'know, donald trump. So a facility worried about politics when prescribing meds probably has other concerns over patient wellness. which brings me to my next note
Ochsner got in trouble a few years ago because they were putting saudis and other internationals on the top of organ donor lists because they were paying $$$$. Sent a big company wide email threatening employees against talking to the press and assuring everyone "we totally aren't doing that anymore" so you've got shady practices on top of that.
All hospital systems are basically a business but "the big O" doesn't even try to hide it.
i have no financial interest either way in this post.
The only correct answer.

You do know the CEO of Ochsner met with Trump multiple times during the peak of Covid? They worked really well together. Also kinda funny you bring up Saudi because y'know, Donald Trump.
