Two of my siblings were treated for cancer here back in the 70's and 80's... both did not survive... When we lived in L.A. I could not drive pass this hospital for years. I would have anxiety attacks. Seriously. Whenever I go back home to visitt, I still have issues. They treated my brother for leukemia, when he actually had hodgkins lymphoma. Too late to save him Sis got an infection in her cath, and it spread to her lungs. She was gone in a week.

I'm not too sure of how they do it at County USC, but at USC University, it's great! After I think 75 hours, you can get a letter of recommendation. You also then get to go in with the surgeons and view an surgery after so many hours. Then for every 4 hours you work, you get a free meal (up to $6 worth of stuff). Their food is great. It's a great hospital to volunteer at. Because of volunteering, I'm actually going to school to become a nurse. I enjoy working in the pre-op unit.
