Despite the comments by Dillywho, I'm convinced that the last place a seriously ill person needs to be is at the TVRH emergency room. This place is just too small and understaffed for a city the size of TV. Add to that the fact that this is the closest hospital for a lot of people in the surrounding area. I have no doubts that the staff is excellent and doing everything they can do to provide top notch care but they need more room and more staff.
I'm skeptical of the decision to scrap plans for an additional hospital in the southern end of TV in favor of a larger facility at the present TVRH. This should not be an either/or situation. We need a larger hospital to attract other medical professionals but we need another hospital as well.
So many things are done right here, why isn't top quality healthcare among those things?
