A qualified YES to the above quote, only the hospital has some ability to accept/decline the situation given their current situation in ER depending on level of care needed and the distance to available same level of care. If they are swamped/overwhelmed/lacking beds, the can accept or decline acceptance UNLESS the level of care required demands otherwise. The receiving hospital has the final call in accepting any run that is not life threatening.
