Bill,
May I make a suggestion?
It is a true fact that those who are proactive about their health care, GET better health care.
I suggest you make a list of what you think the local hospital should have and what the ER physicians should either know, or have available to them as information right there at the ER.
Go talk to the chief of staff. If he agrees, go home and put what you agreed upon in writing and copy it to a couple other people also so that there is no chance of it getting buried and forgotten.
Then two weeks later, go up and check to see if what you would need is there. If not, write another letter, and enclose a copy of your original letter, and send the packet to your local newspaper, your attorney, and of course to the hospital administrator.
If everything IS pretty much done, send a nice thank you letter.
It may help you, and you may be helping others also.
