Man 19 minutes is quick here. An hour is good unless they get lost.

If you live within four miles of a ambulance station...you might get the typical arrival within eight minutes. From the rural area where I grew up....it’ll take twenty minutes minimum for an ambulance to arrive. In some cases, you’d be better off for a neighbor to throw you in the back of a truck and just haul off at seventy miles an hour.

This is all leading folks to push for chopper-ambulance services now. The chopper can usually be at the house in twenty minutes and take you to a real hospital sixty miles away in a matter of twenty minutes.
