Don't hold your breath. Why would they want privileges at a hospital that is 30+ minutes away? They would potentially have to travel 1+ hours per day just to make rounds on a single patient. Not very cost effective... Besides, if you need surgery, they will refer you to a surgeon. Most of the VHS docs are internists or geriatrics. Don't think that there is a surgeon among them.
