As I recall, she was transferred to NYC not because the hospital there had a better trauma centre, but because she was likely going to die anyway.



Agreed - they may speak French but the Montreal hospitals aren't incompetent. When they released her so quickly after a head injury of that type it meant there wasn't any point in keeping her under medical care.

It's apparently a pretty crooked drive from the resort-area hospital to Montreal. It was never clear to me which distances were straight-line and which were road miles, and just what speeds were safe. The impression I got is that it is not a quick drive, not anywhere near what the straight-line distance might imply - after all it's a ski resort and in mountains.
