Agree with your post. I was a surgical patient at Mayo in Jacksonville for three years, excellent facility. Unless you come from the inner city you are going to have to travel to a really good medical facility in any area.
We are from the Boston area and had retired into the NH mountains with the most rudimentary local cottage hospital care. My doctor and hospital was Beth Israel in Boston, a good 2 hour drive from my home. Just once I had to use the Emergency facilities of Beth Israel in Boston, and if you think TV emergency is a zoo, you 'ain't seen nothing yet!
