As a medical student and even as a medicine intern the things I thought when I saw an ambulance were quite different from the things I think of now. It used to be we just affectionately called the ambulance a "whaambulance" in reference to it's most common passenger: someone without a real medical emergency.
Now, and especially the days I am on call, I will be driving home on the highway and see an ambulance headed the opposite direction. All I can think is, I hope that's not a trauma with facial fractures and an open globe. This may not be the best way to think of them, but I do.
