That’s not really true though. Umass has to have an accepting doc who has somewhere Tom put you. It looks like the sending facility is just dragging their feet, but it can take hours to get a spot to send you. I am an ER nurse and it regularly takes me 8-12 hours for a transfer spot to open up. They can’t accept transfers over people already waiting there, either.
