Even so, it's still the getting there for that world-class care that might be the impediment. Methinks that was what the original reference was to.
What are you talking about? It's less than 3 miles from right here. 3 stoplights.
And somewhere between 10 and 15 miles from up in the holler... That ain't no farther than most are from it living in the burbs. And probably a faster commute. Sure there's some gravel... but all of that can be navigated just as fast as main thoroughfares in the suburbs - And that all the time (no traffic)... And once you hit the highway it's minutes.
But like I said, I ain't likely to use it anyhow. Since I fell ill I have very little faith in the modern health system. Sure and they're great if you need something cut off or put back on, but my experience with them diagnostically has been nothing short of disaster. And they never meant to heal me - They meant to pump me up with pharma and put me in maintenance mode at thousands of dollars a year.
I have done far better in both diagnosis and maintenance with my Cheyenne medicine man and folk remedies that cost nothing. Had I stuck with modern medicine, I have little doubt I would have been dead by now.
