Contrast that with having a heart attack in say, Douglas, Alabama, in which you are an hour from Huntsville and an hour and a half from Birmingham. The people helping you might be more polite but they will not likely be able to save you. With cell coverage spotty, you might not even be able to get an ambulance in time.
My comment was for the attitude of the residents not the quality of their medical care or their cell phone coverage. Did you not notice that?
