TRINIDAD — Dr. Marci Bowers, one of the premier gender reassignment surgeons in the world, said Thursday she is considering leaving town because of issues she has with Mount San Rafael Hospital and personal issues.
Hospital officials said they have programs in place and that there would be little if any financial impact if she leaves.
Bowers said she is about 90 percent sure that she will leave the town she loves after seven years of service. If she moves it will be to the San Francisco area Oct. 1.

Dee I've been to SF in Feb and it's not exactly cold but it's very nice and cool. Like lows 40-50, high 50-60, my personal fav temps but anyways.... If you check a weather almanac or something I'm sure you'll feel better about it :)

I'm sure her patients will find better support services and ancillary services in SF. It's much easier to get to SF, be it in a car, bus, train, plane or cruise ship. There is also a community in place, with many of her girls here and that can be important also. And I'm very sure that the major hospitals here are a bit more sophisticated than the one in Trinidad.
