    I would call the ambulence crew first aid. The hospital emergency room has a lot more equibment and staff. Sure the ambulence has more than you but their goal is still the same, get you to real help fast.

        The ambulance crew is part of first aid. As is the box on the wall. As is the non-medical person who uses something from that box on the wall to help. For all of them their primary purpose is to triage, and and then render get people to the correct needed care. Sometimes (often) the situation is minor and they can handle it, however their primary purpose is to get someone in trouble to better care fast. The ambulance crew has a few more tools to get you to the hospital fast, and some tools to solve emergency situations that most of us do not, but their primary job is still getting someone to a hospital.

          That’s pretty much what the name means as well. Well not directly, but ambulatory means to be able to walk. It’s called an ambulance, because the patients usually can not walk themselves to the hospital.

          That’s not what the word means nowadays obviously but like, originally. Bet you never thought about it until I brought it up.
