QA nurse that looks at every major system in the state... You're much better off with Mass General Brigham, unless it's completely dire/you won't survive transport. SVH never recovered from the strike, and UMass is still riding the good reputation it used to have 15-20 years ago. I see more and more negative patient outcomes coming out of Worcester hospitals. I transferred all of my own care out of Worcester systems a few years ago, and it's been a relief.

As others said, urgent care will just send you to the ED. This is an ED problem and not appropriate for urgent care. The hospital will have you seen by a cardiologist and probably set you up with an outpatient appointment on discharge.
