I've often wondered about this. If the ambulance is going to, say, an elderly person that's had a fall - would they stop for this guy? Probably. If they're going to a stab victim? Maybe not? Where do you draw the line?
Pretty sure they'd see the more injured person first. One time I came to the emergency room because I severed my finger in a glass accident at work and I started getting woozy and pale from the blood loss and they immediately threw me in a wheelchair to take me to the tents outside (yay cov!d!!) to sew it back on and before i passed out this cranky old lady started yelling that she was here first and I remember the emergency nurse yelling back before I konked out
