Doctors and emergency health professionals should never turn away a patient.
An emergency medicine doctor is a doctor who has received special training in order to provide treatment for acute illnesses or injury which require immediate medical intervention. Emergency medicine doctors work in the Emergency Department of the hospital where patients with acute medical conditions are referred to. Although Emergency medicine doctors are not responsible for the long term care of the patient, their work in conducting the initial diagnosis is paramount for the prognosis of the patient's condition. In summary, emergency medicine doctors are responsible for ensuring swift medical intervention to better the long term prognosis and comfort of the patient.
Doctors in the ER are often called emergency room physicians or emergency medicine physicians. They specialize in providing immediate medical care to patients who arrive at the emergency department with a wide range of injuries and illnesses.
Approximately 60% of Emergency Room doctors are residency-trained in emergency medicine. The remainder may have training in other specialties but work in emergency settings, often due to the need for medical care in those areas. This percentage can vary by location and the specific hospital or healthcare system.

While we can't answer specifically since we don't know the patient or the circumstances, generally speaking, Emergency Medical Technicians are technicians in emergency rescue and are the first responders during an emergency. In the USA, doctors do not respond to an emergency by coming to the patient. Instead, EMTs respond, try to stabilize the patient before transport, and then take the patient to the nearest hospital.
