An ambulance can also be a helicopter if that is better, for example if you are far from a road, or it’s much faster.

For an emergency, you or someone call the national emergency number and talk to an operator. From the information in that call the operator decides if an ambulance should be sent or not, that is, if you are sick or injured enough, or can’t easily get yourself to a hospital.

Ambulance and treatment is provided as needed, not necessarily by a patient wants.

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.

Ambulance stations are distributed similar to fire stations, to be able to reach different places in a hurry. Fire stations are also tax financed, as are the police and the military, and a lot of other common functions.

In Sweden, the ambulance service is financed by taxes as a part of the health care.

You don’t pay anything extra for an ambulance. You pay 275 SEK, or $27 at the hospital if you haven’t reached the cap for the year which is 1400 SEK, or $140.

They say that the Democrats media is able to gaslight their ignorant followers. How true is that, and is the fact that Democrats have echoed that Jan 6th was worse than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor proof of that, via gaslighting their ignorant followers?
