Ambulances have to take patient to nearest Hosp. If possible take a limo to Sunnybrook TEACHING Hosp in North Toronto multi-million home BAYVIEW area away from downtown knifings, shootings.and drug overdoses. Next choice lakefront St.JOSEPH HOSP in West Toronto in Polish/Ukrainian area. Radisson Hotel ( lakefront) is nearest 4 star hotel.

It can be quicker to take a limo to Lewiston, USA (approx 2 hours) Cost approx $300. NO WAITING.at
