One more thing about Mammoth that is worth noting. they have some of the finest Sports Injury Physicians in CA. And the hospital has an urgent call center where one can walk right in without an appointment. <BR>

Great people working there. I had no insurance and was having knee problems. They only charged me about $100.00 for the visit and the Doc supplied me with enough anti-inflammatory drugs to get me to Canada....for free !! He just raided the Pharmaceutical Company's sample stash and sent me on my way.....The meds would have cost me more that twice the office visit charge if I had to buy them myself...<BR>
