Had this happen too. After I hit the jammer & no Rangers came I was STOKED, only to find all 7 of them pounding me from the second floor. I got through it by first using a plasma pistol, DMR and camo. Walk to the bottom of the ramp to the second floor but hug the wall on the right so you have cover. Pop some shots off with the PP to lure all the Elites over. I stuck one who evaded off the ramp onto my floor, then another two were pushed off by their buddies onto my floor. I'd engage camo, wait for the others to leave then PP + DMR. I ran out of PP ammo and the repeater is useless, so I went back to the jammer & grabbed a jetpack. Go back & take a right at the stairs so you're walking under the ramp, then jetpack up away from the ramp to the 2nd floor. Do the same on the 3rd floor and you're home free. I found the remaining 4 Elites were too spread out to do any serious damage and there are tons of health packs on the walls.

I can tell you that this week's LASO has nearly topped LNOS LASO during the outerspace ship flying mission. I have the 7 ranger elites waiting for me at the 2nd floor ramp leading to the 3rd floor. Because it's such a confined area and there are so many of them, it's really hard to isolate one and take out his shields before 2 or 3 take his place.
I know some have mentioned using the Banshee trick, but it wouldn't have worked for me anyways since the hospital was my third mission. Almost considering skipping or restarting. I'm going to try to jet-pack up the middle to see if I can make it past all of them.
That's the problem I'm having. I really don't get why the ranger elites decided to just kick back on the stairway instead of moving into the area where the jammer is. I can't go up the stairs without getting railed by plasma rifle fire and I can't pick them off since they're all ganged up so tightly. Also tempted to restart but it's a pain in the ass just getting through to the hospital jammer again, nevermind re-doing the whole level.
I definitely appreciate the advice. Looks like I'll be starting all over. I was originally told to try and jump onto the ledge with the AA crate, but that resulted in me getting blasted to kingdom come. So now I have to restart the entire mission. It seems many are forgetting that if the hospital is the last mission, you have to fight your way out. If you try to use the banshee on the way out in that scenario, you might as well restart the mission.
