Henry tells a story about calling an ambulance for Frank when he was a toddler. Ambulance services as we know it with highly trained EMTs didn't really start until the 1970s which is well after when Frank would have been a toddler.
Also, 911 didn't start until 1968 so Henry would have had to directly call an ambulance service. Due to the lack of regulation, it is highly unlikely that ambulances at that time would need "authorization" to go to a certain hospital as that is also a relatively new concept.
Many hospitals did have their own ambulance services which would only transport to their hospital; however, Henry should have known which hospital's ambulance service he was calling. It would be clearly noted in the phone book. Realistically, he would have just driven Frank himself back then rather than call an ambulance.

During a hostage situation, there is a media black out. The can have reporters on the side reporting but no view of the police or location as the perps inside could be watching TV and see what the police are planning to do.
