This has a good point. All hospitals have a trauma level rating. Could be they couldn't handle the situation, or as a previous post suggested, the doctor was affiliated with one of the other hospitals.

At home if it was something serious or a bad car wreck, the helicopter, Nightingale as it was called, would be requested.
