Pulse is a piloted aircraft that can transport a medic or EMT trained to pilot it. The pilot flies while standing up and looks out a large window to see where to go and land.

Instead of picking patients up and taking them to a hospital, Pulse allows help to arrive quicker than current technology does.

“They fly themselves to the scene of the emergency, they get out with their life-saving equipment and they go and they stabilize the patient,” Dietrich said. “They stay with the patient until the ambulance shows up, and then oftentimes they’ll actually go with the patient because they know the most about the patient at that moment.”

You have completely and utterly missed the entire point of the question I asked. I DO NOT ask about whether an abulance is en route, but I ask what if they need things that are on that wheel-based ambulance??

Then they wait.

Do you understand that your position is just like saying, but what if there's something in the hospital that the wheel based ambulance doesn't have!!

There are already "lightweight" critical care responders in small cars and motorbikes and such. Just a more agile mode of transport for those folk.

lol no. How dumb are you? This is BEFORE any medical professionals arrive... (or rather, the first) How the FUCK would anyone have access to hospital quality equipment before even EMTs arrive?!

This is DIRECTLY a question of what equipment they have... What do you understand of medical treatment, let alone EMT stabilization? An EMT is not a magician. They CANNOT fix MANY problems they arrive at. That's half the fucking reason it's such a tough job!! They LITERALLY CANNOT save many people they arrive at. WITH an ambulance's level of equipment.

The fuck is your goal? Traumatize MORE EMTs because you're too stupid to understand what treatments are medically relevant? Fuck you.
