If ambulances (throughout the known world) continue to display the "Staff of Asclepius" medical symbol (from Greek Mythology), could the Asclepiadae* get FREE RIDES (in the ambulances in question)?
*NOTE: Medical/Health Care (a Healing Temple Order) is in honor of the Greek Mythology God of Healing, Asclepius. In Ancient Greece, Medical Schools developed in connection with Asclepeion Temples and Shrines of dedication to Asclepius. The Temple Priests were called Asclepiadae. Notably, the Greek Physician Hippocrates (the Father of Medicine) was an Asclepiad. Medical/Health Care Physicians swear by the Hippocratic Oath (the widely known Medical Ethics Oath attributed to Hippocrates).
<!---*DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT SUPPORT MEDICAL/HEALTH CARE. Medical/Health Care is the "PAGAN CULT of Asclepius" (an apostate Healing Temple Order w/ an OLD SERPENT ON A STAFF as the medical symbol). Medical/Health Care actively operates to SECULARIZE HEALING, and move the practice of Medical away from its necessary Religious context in Greek Mythology.---!>
