Referrals The Neurosurgical
Service sees many international patients with unusual and complicated neurosurgical
problems. A one page summary of the history in English allows us to form an opinion
on the advisability of travel to the U.S. As with any patient, the MRI and CT
scans are needed for evaluation. These can be reviewed before the patient comes
to the United States. An in-person evaluation and any surgical procedures are
done at the patient's convenience. The
Massachusetts General Hospital Admitting Department has established a reputable
International Program. Representatives from the International Patient and Family
Center are available to assist international patients and their families with
transportation, lodging, interpretation, and other needs. For information contact
the International Program Office at: Telephone Number: (617) 726-2787
Fax Number: (617) 726-2543 We welcome the opportunity to continue serving
the international community. Please,
remember to contact the appropriate physician's office before sending films or
pathology slides. |
