Medical University of South Carolina Recognized as One of the Nation's Top Transplant Programs

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) February 25, 2008 -- The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) was recently ranked as one of the top overall transplant programs (http://www.muschealth.com/multimedia/Podcasts/displayPod.aspx?podid=500&autostart=false&groupid=39) in the United States by University HealthSystem Consortium. The list ranked hospitals based on mortality, outcomes, and length of hospital stay.

In addition to the overall recognition, both the liver and the kidney/pancreas transplant programs were rated number one overall nationally. MUSC was also recently recognized in the Scientific Transplant Registry for having one of the shortest wait lists for organ transplants in the United States.

The University HealthSystem Consortium was created in 1984 and is comprised of 97 academic medical centers and 153 of their related hospitals. In this study, MUSC was compared against university-affiliated medical centers and other top-performing transplant centers.

Medical director of the transplant program, Prabhakar Baliga, M.D., attributed the success of the program to the interdisciplinary approach taken at MUSC and said that the ranking "reflects the skill, hard work and practice of 'going the extra mile' by our group of world class transplant physician specialists and support staff, who share a vision to provide compassionate patient care of the highest quality." He also added "MUSC has one of the shortest waiting times for organs in the country. Why would any patient with organ failure travel elsewhere for a transplant?"

Persons wanting to learn more about the transplant program can listen to Dr. Baliga's related podcasts on Liver Transplant (http://www.muschealth.com/multimedia/Podcasts/displayPod.aspx?podid=455&autostart=false) or on Kidney Transplant (http://www.muschealth.com/multimedia/Podcasts/displayPod.aspx?podid=456&autostart=false).

The abstract states, "An examination of the sequential mathematical and experimental dual proof of the Genesis record of origins underlying the institution of all that is in the universe--from waves to matter to the mind." According to the author, the Scientific Method has been subtly proving the Genesis cosmology in every classroom around the world for more than 450 years--in spite of the fervency to promote evolution and big bang theories.
