Live in a fairly rural area of Canada, the hospital closest to me closes at night. No new patients can come in. They are too understaffed. They used to let in serious emergencies but they don't anymore. So it's better to call 911 than to drive someone to a hospital yourself.

If I call 911, they send us to one of the hospitals about twice the distance away. It's not super far thankfully, 40mins instead of 20 but still.
