	Emergency medical services Summary
		Emergency medical services have become a method relied upon for timely transportation and treatment of the injured during the twentieth century, but the modern rescue squad did not become a reality until shortly before this time.
		Opposition from physicians and the medical establishment that was determined to prevent laypeople from practicing medicine without a license stunted proper development of guidelines for rescue workers this led to their motto of "Load and go," leaving proper medical treatment waiting at the doors of the hospital.
		Medical patient care during rescue operations has been pushed to the back burner in many areas and a major problem facing EMS and patients is the loss of medically-directed rescue which has been switching over to non-medical units in many areas.
