This also sounds pretty high. Looks like there's a general hospital literally 500m away in this case.

It's going to depend on the small town, but I would assume that most small towns are _not_ within 30 mins of a general hospital. Of course, depending on what's wrong with you, something less than a general hospital might work, but then again it might not.
Really?! This sounds _very_ high.
