I hope what I'm about to say doesn't sound like I'm bragging but speaking as someone who has lived in Houston for 52 of my going on 78 years, he is being sent to the largest, most comprehensive, most recognized medical center in the world. Methodist is rated the best hospital system in Texas. Memorial Herman is where Gabby Gifford went through rehab. Texas Childrens, M.D. Anderson, St. Luke's ( DeBakey Heart Institute ) Baylor, etc. If he is being flown here I can assure you he is being sent to the very best. This is no knock on Andrew's and his group who are renowned in sports med. but people come from all over the world to the Houston Medical Center for all types of medical treatment. If you've ever been to Houston and visited the Med. Center you would know it's probably triple the size of downtown Birmingham. Its massive and top notch in every discipline.
