[Lonesome in Massachussets]

My town has 5500 people and only a couple of full time firefighters/emts on call. We do have a stretch of Interstate through the town, the nearest hospital is about ten miles away, so the taxi rides to the hospital in a town ambulance, billed to the insurance companies, pay the freight.

I hear ya - I used to be a volunteer EMT in the middle of nowhere.
