Three paramedics were boasting about improvements
in their respective ambulance team’s response times.
“Since we installed our new satellite navigation
system,” bragged the first one, “we cut our emergency
response time by ten percent.”The other paramedics
nodded in approval. “Not bad,” the second paramedic
commented. “But by using a computer model of traffic
patterns, we’ve cut our average ERT by 20 percent.”
Again, the other team members gave their congratulations,
until the third paramedic said, “That’s nothing! Since
our ambulance driver passed the bar exam, we’ve cut our
emergency response time in half!”
