It really doesn't take that much time to travel to SF General, especially for an ambulance with sirens to clear a path. Last year, shooting victims from the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno were sent to SF General. Usually in normal traffic the drive is about 20 minutes. But I see your point, when minutes can make a difference in saving a life. However, SF General does have the best trauma crews to save lives. People going to surrounding hospitals for trauma are often then sent from that hospital to SF General for more skilled life-saving treatment.

A while back, I worked for the SF Health Department in building a new computer data center, and interacted with SF General facility staff for two years. They have an extensive campus with many doctors and medical equipment. Additionally, they have a new multi-million dollar wing for trauma built with Mark Zuckerberg's money (the Facebook guy), coincidentally named Zuckerberg SF General.

I can't get Kaiser to expand anything, I don't have money like Mark Zuckerberg (ha-ha, I wish).

Kaiser SSF has a good reputation but i understand if maybe their emergency room isn’t as well equipped as SFGeneral’s

it sure would be a goood idea to try to get it expanded or upgraded, though.

“saving time saves lives” when it comes to emergency medical treatment

maybe Genentec might donate to KaiserSSF?
