The attendings at teaching hospitals are so much more experienced and well-trained than the attendings at community hospitals. The two times I've been sent to a community hospital, they had to put me in an abulance and send me to a teaching hospital. Even the senior residents at teaching hospitals have more experience and know-how than the docs at community hospitals. And the junior residents always have an attending available for anything they don't know how to do.
