I have herd in these types of emergency situations it is best to make the trip to a smaller town with a hospital.
A couple of years ago I was out in the Crowsnest pass doing some river floating and needed to use the emergency room. There is a hospital in Blairmore (about 10 minutes from where I was) and I didn't wait at all, got right in and was the only patient there.
I'm not sure how this would work for scheduled surgery's
