Most women spend that much on their nails in a month. Nails or saving a life? No brainer for me.

Experience says nobody is getting out of a sound sleep, answering call, grab clothes, run out the door find the house in two minutes.
Unless they are living in your house, or maybe next door you are asking way more than most can accomplish.
On call (so you know that call is coming) at 3am, call comes i was in my car in 90 seconds because I am sleeping in scrubs, my shoes are at the door. I know that because second call comes at 2 minute mark, asking if you are on your way, and eta. Third call comes at 10 minutes which I would be exiting my car heading in the door.
Why the 3 calls, because even experienced trauma people under the age of 50 have been known to answer first call and slip back to sleep.
