Yes you've got to be careful. Some hospitals just don't have quality people/DR's in all areas. Lack of experience, knowledge, or just hurry up and get em out here ? I dunno. 

And unfortunately you see that a lot in the elderly. A fall, accident or something starts the downhill slide they never recover from. My dad however had a very bad face plant when he was like 75 ? Broke his collar bone, face and head was so swollen and bruised. I figured it was gonna be the end of him. He's 83 and still going.
