Ambulance Service Efficiency Varies Across Regions
A New York Times survey finds wide gaps in emergency medical services across 18 metropolitan areas. It notes that since 1966 federal funds spurred upgrades, yet in many places ambulance crews are limited in care, with only a third of communities having minimum life saving capability and over half ambulances under equipped for advanced techniques. Disease and injury survive longer when response times are slow or capabilities are weak.
