The paramedics / medical teams rushed to send the road victims to the hospital.

Should it be 'take' instead of 'send'?

Many thanks.

If the Energency Workers were working at the scene of the accident they would be sending patients to the hospitals by ambulance.

The ambulance drivers would be taking the victims to the hospital.

Thanks for the reply.

By the way, besides the ambulance drivers, are the other staff members accompanying the ambulance drivers called paramedics? If not, what do you call them. Thanks.

In the Emergency and Rescue Squads I've know, the ambulances are staffed in pairs and both the driver and the person who will ride in the back and monitor the patient on the way to the hospital are Emergency Medical Technicians or ParaMedics.

My earlier reply would have been clearer if I had said "ambulance personnel" instead of "ambulance drivers".
