Your definition of "better" care is different from mine. When you go see your doctor, you want him to be attentive. I want him to be good. It is a fact that the best doctors tend to be employed in urban areas.
In wealthy urban areas. True.

I don't think so. A hospital's quality is to be judged by staff as well as doctors. And a doctor's attitude and the pressure he's under to make money and service his case load are not to be ignored.
I wonder if you're aware of how much pressure recent changes in medical economics have put on doctors. I know a first-rate surgeon who's told me that he feels sorry for those who're going under the knife on Friday's or Saturday's...because he's had to adopt a killer work-load in order to maintain his income.
