It depends on the hiring agency/company. For a private ambulance company you would need a minimum of a state EMT licence, which could take a few months or less to earn by passing an exam, plus a good driving record, and passing a physical exam.

Air ambulances are commonly used in situations where other ambulances are impossible to use, or not practical for the situation. The average air ambulance can travel at about 140 miles per hour.

The word ambulance on an ambulance is backwards because when you're in front of an ambulance and there's an emergency you would usually see from your rear view mirror. When you see something in a mirror it is always backwards. so when you see the word ambulance on an ambulance, you would see it normally.

The rule is different for all agencies, but where I work (in Pasco County Florida), we will allow 1 person to ride with the patient to the hospital (doesnt matter whether he/she is a relative or not) ALTHOUGH, we can refuse to allow ANYONE to ride if we feel that they may hinder patient care (e.g. being too dramatic or upset over the situation)

Because during operation each patient undergoes different kind of anesthesia which may contribute to physical function.

This depends on the type of ambulance and the area it is operating in. Ambulances are either basic life support (BLS) or advanced life support (ALS). BLS trucks have EMT-basics instead of paramedics. ALS trucks legally must have one paramedic on board, and either an emt-basic in a rural setting, or a second paramedic in a metropolitan area. However, it is all up to the agency staffing the ambulance.

The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem was founded after the first Crusade captured Jerusalem in 1099.

The Order consisted of a group of Knights, men from noble European families who took vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and care of the sick. In Jerusalem, the Order established a hospital to care for sick pilgrims who had travelled to the Holy Land. Later it took on a military role, and took control of Crusader castles. The Order's hospitals treated the sick and wounded without distinction of race, colour or creed.

Ambulance service is just that; a service. Usually a private company, providing a service (showing up and quickly getting you to a hospital when you call 911). They don't get paid by the hospital or the "ambulance fairy", so generally when you are transported by ambulance, you get a bill from them as you would any other business. Many times insurance covers the cost, and if someone has no insurance, you get a bill for the cost of the driver, the medical staff, insurance etc... the costs of emergency transportation. Think of it as a "super-qualifed medical taxi".

It depends on the Country. For example UK they are Blue, Spain they are Orange, In the US normally Red and White. Though Spain are are going to be changing the colour to match most of Europe, blue.

So that drivers ahead of it on the road can read it (correctly) as AMBULANCE in their rear-view mirrors, and yield the right of way.

If the word was not reversed, the drivers of the cars ahead of the vehicle would see: "ECNALUBMA."

Of course, if it has flashing lights and sirens going, they would yield to it anyway. Perhaps this was done so that drivers would not mistake an ambulance for a police vehicle with similar lights.
