I feel the Morse bunch have done everything they can think to do to get better health care here.

I think that emergency facilities in and out of the hospital will always be burdened during high population times.

Really great health care is the ONLY reason that I am not completely happy here. I miss our fine doctors and facilities from Cincinnati.

And if I were of parenting age I would miss our fine schools too. Maybe that is holding back the doctors.

Gracie - my wife had a procedure done in 2000 in Cincinatti by a world renowned neurosurgeon (whom she trained with at Mass General Hospital in Boston). The Univ of Cincinatti Medical Center is world class. You may have even heard of Professor John Tew.

Let's say a large number of TV residents wanted Shands to develop a presence here. We would need to make our feelings known to the administration there. If they felt so inclined they would probably see how things went with an outpatient presence after talking with a large number of local PCPs. Do you remember my comment about how a competitor would favorably view the south side of TV?
