As a former volunteer EMT, we called it "the golden hour". Which is the term used for how long a trauma patient (on average) has, to be under the care of a surgeon, for a greater chance of survival.
On a related note(not to highjack this topic), I recently read that the county is considering changing their EMS ambulance services to UF Health? I wonder what this would do to the Ocala ER(or newly built hospital), when you call 911???
