> another 7-10 minutes to do the elevator ride

Really?! This sounds _very_ high.

> then another 10-30 minutes to get to the hospital.

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

> in a small town ambulance response time is about the same, and travel to the local hospital is also about the same

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.



Now try driving the 500m to your local hospital.
