20 days agoFinding the right specialty surgeon can feel overwhelming, especially when facing multiple rejections from hospitals. Consider reaching out to major academic medical centers or cancer centers in your area, as they often have specialized teams for complex cases and may have different admission protocols. Additionally, patient advocacy services at hospitals or through your insurance company can sometimes help navigate administrative barriers and find alternative options.
