What’s the protocol for deciding which hospital to take him to in the first place? Clearly it was a gunshot wound, why not go directly to Temple? Just CHH proximity since it was only a minute or two away?

Probably took him to CHH to stabilize him for the longer transport to Temple

CHH is literally a block away. Temple is 15-20 mins. Sometimes, if the patient isn’t imminent they will attempt to make it to a level 1, but with an ER that close the hope is that they could stabilize at least enough for the short drive.
