Is there anyway to get an ambulance crew to transport one to the hospital that they want to go to instead of the hospital that they (the ambulance crew) want to take the patient to? Such as for a service connected disabled Vet. Is there anyway to get the ambulance crew to transport one to the VA instead of a "civilian" hospital?

Usually No. The VA Hospital in my City will not accept trauma or cardiac patients. We are screamed at if we attempt to do so (by the staff at the VA.) Trauma patients go to the Trauma Center, even bypassing other hospitals. This is State (PA) Law.

This may vary in differant cities, but most VAs are not set up for Emergency Patients.
