Ambulance Litter

Many times ambulance litters would be towed behind dog carts to the scene of an accident. The patient would then be pushed by two ambulance bearers to the hospital or doctor.

Interesting narrative and capture Laine! Soon, this will be healthcare in the US.....

Amazing. Not a comfortable way to the hospital, I´m afraid.

Ooof, a slow and bumpy ride to hospital I should think!

One has to hope that the patient was strapped on securely.

Amazing how they managed without motorized vehicles in those days, Laine.BV

One of the benefits of modern times, I suppose - better ambulance rides! V

Very interesting. Let us hope the hospital was not too far away.

Oh wow, I've never seen one. I hope the ambulance bearers could run fast. Hopefully not a bumpy road too!

Would be a rough old ride in that, ditto to Sheila's comment!

Ow, that would be painful for a broken back. But better than nothing!
