Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus indeed is an excellent pediatric hospital, but I know somewhere else with a good Children's Hospital (spoiler see numbers 7 and 17)

First, great to see the Alberta Children's Hospital so high on that list. Very impressive.

However, it may not be as simple as that. Perhaps, for whatever reason, JG's wife had unique opportunities at the Columbus hospital that weren't available in Calgary (specializations, personal relationships, who knows)?

Anyway, we're all just blindly speculating at this point. I will just echo others and say that if one of JG's most heavily weighted decision-making factors was his wife's career satisfaction, I fully support that (and think it should be celebrated, not derided).
