Well I'm not sure about all ER's, but I work on an ambulance in an area with a major medical center, and we are often called to the hospitals because they don't have any ringcutters at all.
Mind you, our ambulance ring cutters are basically a steel, handcranked can opener. It can cut purer gold fairly well, but even gold alloys can take close to an hour. I'm not exactly how we would remove a titanium ring, because titanium would break our ringcutter.
