If you are in the throes of a heart attack, as my husband was, you better pray they take you to TVRH (southernmost part of TV, Leesburg). You might not make it to Tampa. Graciegirl might well not have with a continually dropping heart rate.

I think what he means is if he went by ambulance, it would probably be an emergency situation in which they would want to go to the closest place. If he broke his leg, for instance, he would have someone drive him somewhere else.
That was my take, anyway.
