Corrected entry: There is no explanation why David transferred to a hospital in London even though the attack took place in Yorkshire.

An American Werewolf in London (1981)
Correction: The people in East Proctor purposely moved David far away from their village after his attack because they knew he would become a werewolf. They just managed to kill off the first one and so didn't want another.
Correction: Granted there is no explanation in the movie but it's not a mistake. People get transferred between hospitals all the time. It's to be expected that a hospital in London has better facilities and as an American citizen (in a coma), the embassy may have requested that he be transferred to a location near them.
