My friend is considering Dana Farber for onco medicine and radiology, following her surgery at MGH. However, Dana Farber has split from MGH and they are using BIDMC-Lahey (Boston, Needham, Burlington etc.) facilities. While Dana Farber is top notch, how does BIDMC compare with MGH Brigham for radiation, onco medicine, and any emergency treatments for side-effects? Does Dana Farber have their own facilities for radiation and chem? Can she use radiation and medical oncologists at Dana Farber without having to completely abandon her internist, cardiologist at MGH?

My friend and I are flying into Boston in a couple weeks, renting a car and driving up to Maine. We want to spend a late morning in Boston then stop in Portsmouth, NH as well before going to where we are staying.

What recommendations do you have for must sees in either of those spots that wouldn’t be more than a couple/few hours? Neither of us have been to either of those cities and don’t know when we will be back! So want to hit the main places!! (We already decided not to go to Salem).

Open to quick activities, places to see, food/cafe places!
TIA

I recently moved to Boston from Georgia, and I heavily rely on the green line, anyways I was coming from a coffee place after meeting a friend, on Griggs street and the driver didn’t open the door she only opened the front door and I was all the way in the back so I couldn’t get to that bogie in time so I had to go to the next one and the guy had to open his door and he was like she didn’t open all the doors? I was like no and I was about to pay but he was like you’re good.Can someone explain why t drivers do that?? What is the policy regarding payments?
