SF General is the regional trauma center. If you've been shot or in a 
major accident that *is* the place to go, actually. They're pretty good 
at doing Humpty Dumpty repairs.

But for a sore throat, I'd try to find someone local you can establish a 
relationship with, especially if you need them to refer you to a 
specialist in the future (eg, if you have an HMO)

Some local docs that are good:
Sophia Mirvis, MD
Kathleen Babcock, NP
Daphne Miller, MD
Lisa Capaldini, MD (internist)

Sorry for the late reply. Hope you're feeling better, Kathryn.

SF General is the regional trauma center. If you've been shot or in a major

Humpty Dumpty repairs. <br>

in the future (eg, if you have an HMO) <br>
