Have you ever attended a sporting event and watched an injured athlete lying on the field and wondered, "Why isn't somebody doing something?" It's a situation that is unnerving to fans and event organizers alike. Hiring an ambulance to standby at your event can cost more than a thousand dollars, even more if they transport a patient to the hospital.  The role of a standby ambulance is to do just that – standby to transport a patient to the hospital, not be proactive or interact with the crowd.  If you dial 911 and wait for EMS to arrive, it can seem like an eternity to the person injured, parents and spectators.
