We live not too far from Marv’s in WhiteTiger’s example and we have had two separate health care providers tell us that if the 911 operator can not confirm an ambulance is in the area that we need to drive to the hospital ourselves, regardless of the situation, because we could be more at risk waiting due to the massive issues of ambulance service in rural areas. I can only assume the situation is going to get worse as we see massive burnout rates of EMS and medical staff and the lead time it takes to get people trained.
