I had to call 911 last year when I fell and broke my kneecap in half. I live in TV. TV ambulance picked me up. I didn’t get a choice. They took me to Leesburg hospital. I was told by them that’s where the on call Orthopedic surgeon was. I got there. X-rays. Confirmed I needed surgery but there was no on call dr there. That doctor was at TV hospital and they refused to transfer me there because the ambulance took me to Leesburg. I still can’t walk and have had 4 surgeries and I blame the week I had to search for an Orthopedic surgeon to do my surgery. The mistake of one ambulance driver can turn into years long issues.
