I seriously do not understand how Duke made the list.

Girl meets boy with transplant, falls in love and then micromanages her way through the transplant and dialysis industry. Three years, two transplant centers and one NxStage machine later, boy gets a kidney at Johns Hopkins through a paired exchange two months after evaluation.  Donated kidney in June and went back to work after ten days.

Iam really surprised that Vanderbuilt did not make a higher ranking than #12th,  but I guess out of all the hospitals in US, that's pretty darn good!

I agree - from everything I've heard, Duke should not be there. Northwestern is only #31, below my original transplant hospital and below University of Wisconsin, which I have long believed should be shut down. Froedtert squeaked into the top 50 by the very skin of their teeth, and they don't even deserve that. (They had their ranking with US News framed when I was last there almost 10 years ago, and they were behind Beaumont which I know should be shut down.) I took some delight in the fact that Aurora's specialists apparently have NO reputation with specialists. That's where my last two nephrologists came from, and they were hopeless.

I find these lists so interesting, even though I know they are not to be taken seriously. UCSF below UCLA? In what universe?
