Just so you also know St. Vincent's hospital served nearly every single major disaster that hit city, from Triangle Shirtwaist fire right up to 9/11/01. It was a major teaching hospital that developed numerous treatments and protocols that are still used by hospitals all over country. This includes major research and advances in treatment of HIV/AIDs back when no one else wanted to bother.

Bellevue is not full service?

But hey, don't worry. If you or yours get hit by a car, have a coronary event or otherwise need healthcare down there just hang on until can get uptown or to east side.

Hopefully the ambulance has enough gas to make there.
