no it’s because a lot of hospitals dont’ have trauma centers and that’s pretty normal. a lot of the hospitals in the city dont’ either it all depends. UPMC out in greenville has their own helicopter and trauma center and it’s further in the sticks than i am. ---

no tramacenter = teh lose for you if you need it. what happends in a fire, do you gotta wait for uncle jesse to get the bucket brigade on the CB? there is no argument for stuff like that, the city is better in that respect because its better equiped. hospitals, fire dept, police dept, public works, etc etc… the sticks are better for peace and quiet and potentially less crime. ---

as for a lot of hospitals in the city not having trama…the ambulance driver asked me where i wanted to go…mercy/agh/presby/… no need for any others to have it when that covers the whole city. ---
