title: Rural sites benefit from link to urban center.
abstract: Six-year-old Thomas Carter never knew that his risk of permanent injury was worse because he lived in Morton, in rural West Texas. But when Thomas chose to play with matches and was accidentally burned over 40 percent of his body, statistically the chances were slim that he could be saved from death or permanent injury.
