If in the hospital we dispatch the code team.  IF outside the hospital but on grounds, security responds and - get this one - calls 911.  Yup.  Calls 911.
Another heavy sigh.

Dear friends,
I would like to know your protocols for trauma response for incidents occurring within the hospital,  i.e in the parking lot, suicide attempt (like jumping off the roof of the hospital) etc. Not for ER or ward patients. Who is responding, from where they get the equipment, do they also do the rescue if needed?
Thanks, 
Gadi
