presley trauma center - memphis tennessee

https://www.regionalonehealth.org/main-campus/regional-medical-center/elvis-presley-trauma-center/

we have a problem houston

'this is the only level 1 trauma center within 150 miles radius of
memphis' - mentioned on this webpage 3 times

considering that helos probably travel at 120 mph - then it sure seems
that a huge area cannot be reached with a one hour transport time

basically - anyone who is more than 75 miles from the hospital is not
going to arrive within the golden hour

so the system is engineered to fail a certain number of people - the
people in the most rural areas

welcome to america
