kyburgHeard on the radio going home yesterday that Las Vegas has closed the only trauma center they have.
That means that if you get whacked in Vegas, your nearest trauma center is...wait for it...Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, California.
232 miles away. Here, this is the map for those of you unfamiliar with the geography...
And now, parts of the 15 interstate feeding into Las Vegas from Los Angeles are completely without any EMT services as the last volunteer group can't repair or field calls any longer. 2 hour or longer response times will be the result. I'd say if you're lucky enough to get a call placed at all. Ever tried to make a cell call on that road?
Fat chance I'm going to Vegas anytime soon. BITE me.
