The word 'sent' should be replaced by 'taken', shouldn't it?
Thank you very much.

Both "sent" and "taken" can be correct.
A sender causes the patient to be transported to a hospital, but doesn't actually take them.
A taker actually transports the patient.
At the seen of an accident, a policeman, fireman, or doctor may send a patient to the hospital; an ambulance crew may take the patient there.
