The hospitals are equipped for initial care but not for follow-up. MI patienta are regularly flown over to Queens. The Big Island is a medically underserved location and that does NOT just mean we don't have enough doctors for office visits. With our growing population of retirees, there needs to be a MAJOR revamping of the medical facilities here. You don't like the changes in your property taxes now? Wait till the people move into all these houses hey built over here to retire in. They will double just to pay for upgrading hospitals. Just an opinion but frankly, you moved to a remote wonderland expecting services and facilities like the mainland, expect to PAY like the mainland. You can't have it both ways.
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
