UNfortunately, the public is short-sighted and only wants what is best for them at the present time without regard to the consequences.
BTW, I have not had any luck with your problem. My medical friends said "They should not move out there," I know it is crass to say that but they did qualify it by saying that our resources need to be here in the urban area where they are needed most. You might be LiberalLarry but I LIVE in the stronghold of the left-wing. I am still trying.
Thanks for trying. Didn't you get my FReepmail? We're out of the immediate crisis stage because government will help us with the emegency room. We've decided the regional model is the one we have to live with so we will keep hospital services to a minimum (crisis stabilization) while looking to expand clinic services and the old folks home. That seems to be a viable solution until technology again changes the equation. In this regard we'll probably try to allow nurses and PAs to be more than is now permitted by law. We'll see. I'll keep you informed.
