Come on Band4all, motivate

I live in a town with quite a busy ambulance helicopter (just a few hours ago it made my house vibrate as it flew over at 1500 feet, great sound in that engine). So with my scanner I've sometimes heard it make a slight mess off the sequence when it announces it needs to cross the controlzone with HOSP status, not sure if that goes into the "emergency"-category but it's still quite intresting to listen to!

I thought everyone started off with procedural control still? After all it is the foundation of ATC, or is the training process so streamlined now that procedural control is only taught to the ones being posted to non-radar units?
