Isn't his daughter getting treatment in NY? Why did he go to LA?

Initial treatment was performed in NY, but as I'm sure you all know, treating a malignancy requires vigilant long term follow up to monitor for local recurrence. I'm assuming that the Fishers wanted the best long care in terms of long term follow-up. Los Angeles provides close access to Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA (LEGENDARY in the world of opthalmology) as well as Children's LA. This is not to say that Salt Lake City has poor medical care, but the facilities in Los Angeles are simply of another pedigree.

nope, the primary doctor for the disease is the lynn murphry (no clue how to spell his name) at CHLA. i read itin LAtimes as well as just know that he is one of the leading experts in the field.
