As an old and now retired medic, once again EMS gets left out. Our caudecus is twin snakes with a pair of wings attached to the rod.

Some say the snakes tell you we are real, honest to god, professionally trained medical personnel. And not just an overpriced taxi service.

The wings indicate we will fly to your medical emergency as fast as we can. Because the louder you scream, the faster we come.

And the rod is the gear shift lever that tells how fast we can shift from 'This ain't nothin' to 'Oh shit we gotta go. We gotta go NOW' And 'Inject ALL the diesel' modes.

And finally our motto: "I'm always willing to bet your life I can keep you alive long enough so you can die on some doctor and not me"
