note = "Funding Information: Rounding to 5-min intervals does not in itself indicate a lack of precision which would be cause for concern. On the other hand, marked preference for 15min intervals suggests a degree of approximation which would make it difficult to determine the length of time which elapsed before medical aid arrived. Not surprisingly, times are most likelv to be roughly approximated for crashes which occur in remote areas. Estimates of the number of lives which might be saved in rural areas by more prompt delivery of emergency measures will therefore be limited by our frequent inability to answer the question, “More prompt than what?” Acknow[en{\textquoteright}gemenf-This investigation was supported by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Maryiand Medical Legal Foundation, Inc.
