Re: Golf Cart accident
To my knowledge TVRH is not a level 1 trauma center.
Remember not all hospitals have everything. Here in MA it is quite the same even though we have some of the best in the world. Kids get airflighted to Hasbro Childrens in Prov or Boston.
Major burns go to Shriners in Bos. All level 1 trauma get lifted to Bos. or Prov not the local regional.
Most regional hospitals (TV Regional H for example) are limited in their capacity for certain events. TVRH has an excellent new Cardiac Cath unit but prior to that you had to go to Leesburg or Orlando or Ocala. This is done to keep costs reasonable.
