Public service announcement: By William Lewis What would you do if you were experiencing a heart attack or were involved in a serious auto accident and there was no hospital within 50 miles? This may be something you don’t think about, but if you were in this situation, time to reach medical care could be very critical. An ambulance could respond if there is one available.
