Politics is all I can say Dave, lots more offline, just listen you will hear similiar examples everyday.
TMCA is a Level II trauma center same as Universit and Littleton so there would be advantages to go there with a trauma patient over Parker Adventist but then again this gal appeared to not be injured.
Drive safe on E-470!
Just for trivia purposes: Do you know if you were stabbed or shot in the parking lots of either #1 University (level II) or #2 Central (level 1) both excellent trauma centers and EMS was called where you would be transported? How about from an accident scene on #3 Pena Blvd at Tower Road and you were really sick like bleeding into your belly and hypotensive? How about if the same accident happened a little #4 North of Pena in Commerce City or a little #5 South of Pena in Aurora would that change transport decisions? For those who monitor a lot bet they already know the answers and they often are NOT based on what would be the best choice for the patient.
