I so agree with @contentandwell JK . I had a friend whose wife was an anesthesiologist at Mass General. When we first moved there he told me that if I got hit by a car or had a heart attack to make sure I shouted out "Take me to Mass General." We were there for 10 years and I loved the doctors, nurses and caring compassion of all the staff. When we moved to FL, I despaired of ever finding anything like that level of care. Then we found Mayo in Jacksonville. Whew! I guess I lead a charmed life.

@debbraw. I passed out and fell on my L side on Sunday (long story). Monday I hurt but Monday night I REALLY HURT. We ended up going to the local ER because that is the one area of that hospital that I think is ok. The personnel and the doctor I saw were good, and very thorough due to my fainting - they were concerned I might have a heart issue. I do not. Bottom line, I have a minor fracture of my femur. I can do whatever I can tolerate. To get to that point though, I was there for EIGHT hours! We were exhausted and hungry by the time we left, a little after 10 PM.
I just could not see driving over an hour to go to MGH for that. If they said I needed to be admitted we would have made the drive though. I wish we were a bit closer to Boston. If we manage to move I would like to move south to MA but my husband is opposed because we would lose a lot in income tax. NH has no income tax.
