It depends on what your health problem is. If it is something very serious, they will take you to the nearest one for treatment, then if you want to pay to be transferred later, you can do that.
When my grandfather was working on a building and fell, the ambulance took him to the nearest hospital because of his age and he had broken his pelvic bone in 4 places. Then when he had a heart attack a few years later, they took him to the nearest hospital even though they were unable to revive him at home (the hospital couldn't revive him either).
If there is a problem with a hospital being very busy, the dispatcher will tell them what course of action they have to take if it's an emergency since they have access to all that information and can call if they have to.

Ambulances attempt to respond as rapid as they are able to and cope with the situations as immediately as obtainable. they'll continually deliver the casualty to the closest well being facility. That pronounced a broken leg isn't existence threatening and an ambulance isn't mandatory until the bone has punctured pores and skin or some thing else. attempt to no longer call ambulances for non-emergency situations as they're continually in call for no remember what time of the day, and in case you get rid of one it slows the reaction time for somebody to whom some seconds might have made a extensive distinction.

usually when you call for a ambulance the driver will take you to the nearest hospital if your illness is life threatening, but if you need to go to a hospital and need them to take you you can usually request which hospital you prefer to be taken to. remember if it a life threatening go to the nearest one best for you

They will take you to the nearest hospital that can help you, or to the one you request if taking the extra time to get you there will not endanger you.

If not they have to access your problem and your health in order to ensue at safe ride to your nearest hospital or where your scheduled to arrive for your best health need be it.
You just can't say," I don't want to go to this hospital take me to__________! It isn't going to happen. Not in Canada.

What if the nearest Emergency room is filled with other critical patients,
I do not see how that would work.

No.... they don't have to take you any where unless you require EMERGENCY treatment.
And if the nearest hospital is not excepting patients, they take you where is open.

Not nessisarily. If for example the nearst one is busy, they will take you to the one that can best accomidate you, in regards to what ever the emergency might be.

No they take you to the one best suited to deal with your problem. If you have severe trauma they take you to the hospital with the trauma center

Yes. If the hospital cannot treat you, they will provide arrangements for you to be taken elsewhere.
