Emergency medical services are a system of emergency services engaged in providing emergency and immediate medical care outside of a hospital, transportation to definitive care, with the aim of establishing an effective system by which individuals do so. do not attempt to transport or administer unprofessional medical care. The primary purpose of most emergency medical services is to offer treatment to those in need of urgent medical attention, with the aim of adequately treating the current conditions, or arranging rapid transportation of the person to a hospital or more important place of care. Philosophically the term emergency medical service has developed to represent a transition from a simplistic system of vehicles providing transportation only, to a system by which certified medical care is provided on site and during transport. However, in some less developed areas, emergency vehicles remain fundamentally a means of transportation to the medical facility that will provide care. Typically, in most countries around the world, citizens of society as a whole establish a system of emergency medical services. In the event that the public is not willing or able to call upon such a service, the country often finds other emergency services, businesses or government and authorities acting to employ a system. In other parts of the world, emergency medical services also take on the role of transporting patients from one medical facility to another. This happens quite frequently because once a patient is analyzed and treated at the immediate hospital; this may be more appropriate for a variety of reasons why the patient needs to move to another facility. As can be seen, the report...... middle of paper...... the same model of emergency medical service, they responded to the health problem of gunshot wounds in very similar ways. They each follow the methods described previously in order to handle traumatic situations such as serious gunshot wounds. The difference, however, lies in each doctor's assessment of the injured person. It is up to the doctor or physician to decide what type of medical treatment is on-site and when the person is stable or ready to be transported. There is no direct evidence that doctors in each country have been trained differently to assess these types of situations. It is therefore difficult to determine whether one country is doing better than another in its emergency medical services system. It is more likely that each country will have a similar success rate because they employ a fundamentally similar system of care..
