It’s still priority based. Their not treating a hockey injury at the expense of a gunshot victim or car accident in life threatening situation. No matter the money.

What they do here, as I have been in a similar situation, is send them by ambulance to another hospital. No idea why that didn’t happen, seems like a better solution that waiting for hours.
