This is so far off base!
If the paramedic squads are already out on a call, they can't just leave instantly to get to the patient in need of resuscitation as fast as a neighbor next door, across the street, or down the block 4-5 doors can. Our neighborhood has the AED program and the trained neighbor responders arrived, with the AED in hand, in 2 minutes in trial runs.
