    In India, there are no clear guidelines for ambulance drivers. From my understanding, anyone with a driving license can drive an ambulance without undergoing any specific training or certification. In contrast, in developed countries, ambulance drivers are often required to be paramedics or have a background in nursing.

    In India Ambulance means speed, whereas in the USA they are known for safety. In India people cheer and admire speed and recklessness.

    Difficult to say at this juncture whether his demise was premature, or otherwise. From the womb to the tomb nobody can challenge destiny.

    Very many times we see reckless driving by the ambulance drivers -- they have to be trained properly -- their reckless driving itself will ensure patient will arrive dead at the hospital -- or in further trauma -- strict guidelines needed -- ambulance should have all essential lifesaving -- emergency Equipements -- in such situation the patient can be brought safely with the immediate support systems --and no need of such great haste -- , --many vehicles are equipped with only stretcher type beds --no oxygen or other most essentials --

    True. Ambulances are meant to save lives, not to kill patients..
