There is no answer to your question. There are too many variables for a definite answer. Some of the variables are distance, traffic, severity of injury, etc.
ambulance
There are a few reasons. Here are some possibilities:The nearest hospital was fullYour condition required that you go to another hospital (for different equipment or staff)Your insurance required a specific hospital
An ambulance is intended to move people who are still living but are in need of medical help. Of course, it is possible that a person who is living when the ambulance picks him or her up, will die in the ambulance before getting to the hospital. If this happens, the ambulance will still take the body to the hospital (where it may be subjected to an autopsy). However, if a person is already dead, you would not call an ambulance, you would call a hearse. As for the legalities, it is illegal to inflict an indignity on a dead body, but being carried in an ambulance would not be considered an indignity. In some circumstances it would be a waste of medical resources, needed to help the living.
In such a case, it would be imperative to call 911 and have an ambulance take the person to the emergency department of a hospital.
The Ambulance is kind of vehicle for transportation of sick people. It is one of the safe vehicle for Injured or sick people to take him from Casualty places to hospital.
Call an ambulance and they will take you to the hospital to do something
Usually a family member or friend will pick up the patient or they might take a taxi, or hospital patient transport can be organized. If the patient is bedridden, the ambulance may transport the patient home.
It depends on how mobile you are. Assuming the person with the swine flu is very ill since they called paramedics and need hospital care, then they would likely be having respiratory shortness of breath, cough, fever and other serious symptoms. The paramedics would probably use a gurney or rolling bed to move the person from home to an ambulance and then from the ambulance into the hospital emergency room. On the way in the ambulance (and perhaps in the home before moving the patient to the ambulance), paramedics will provide first responder aid to stablize the person, monitoring, providing oxygen, etc.
Take a cold bath, it'll be fine in 20 minutes. You might also consider calling and ambulance and going to the hospital.
How long does it take to get a bedsore in a hospital
Back in the 1800's an ambulance was primarily used to removed injured soldiers from battlefields. They were rarely used to go to someones house since it would take less time to take someone to a doctor. Can't call an ambulance without a phone and phones were invented near the end of the 1800's.
Yes i believe so... Obviously examine the situation and see if you really really need an ambulance or if you can take him to the vet :) saves money because then you only have to pay for gas/vet fees not ambulance and hospital fees put together :)
