The trick here is that physicians, actual doctors, did not accompany ambulances, which were basically unchanged in function since the Civil War. The driver and orderly loaded you onto a stretcher and took you to hospital. If you didn’t make it, you were DOA.
Believe it or not, the modern practice of EMT “paramedics” owes much to Jack Webb and his TV show Emergency! which showcased a pilot program in California and caused the whole country to say, “Hey, why don’t we have that?!”
