    In Europe, they treat patients at the scene, whereas the US extracts the patient and transports to nearest hospital (and stabilize inside the ambulance). These approaches require very different types of equipment and manpower.

      In Europe (the Netherlands at least) they don’t treat patients at the scene, unless it’s something very minor. They always stabilize the patient, them transport them to a hospital.

      Either way, you don’t need mega ambulances for either
