Default Ambulance

I don't believe that NYRA uses NYC EMS. I think they use a private company that is staffed by EMT's. And if they do then NYRA should NOT use NYC EMS but a PRIVATE company like EVERY PRO TEAM and COLLEGE uses in New York so the athletes are taken to the hospital of their choice for NON-LIFE Threatening injuries. Only those type of injuries must be transported to nearest Trauma center.

Mets and STJ use private companies and get their athletes transported to hospital of their choice in NYC from Queens.

Giants and Jets in NJ get theirs to transported to Manhattan. Yankees from Bronx to NYC. They all do it. Knicks and Rangers get theirs sent updown to upper West Side.

The problem is there is NO ONE in attendance that will make the tough call to where the jocks can/should go! It's easier for the attending MD to just send them to nearest facility, regardless of if they will get adequate care.
