SUMMARY:Care For The Polis: Emergency by Design
DESCRIPTION:Recent research by Andrew Simpson and Anne Merritt has point
 ed to the important contribution of ambulances to the establ
 ishment of emergency medicine as a medical subspecialty from
  the 1960s in the United States. A great deal of attention o
 n both sides of the Atlantic was devoted to transporting vic
 tims of road traffic accidents safely and quickly to the loc
 ations of emergency care\, reflecting much broader anxieties 
 about motor car use as a social problem. For the most part\, 
 this concern was framed as a dimension of urban inequality i
 n that it adversely impacted city dwellers\, where the levels
  of traffic congestion tended to be most acute. This paper d
 raws on insights from critical mobilities studies to examine
  how physicians\, ambulance service managers\, and urban healt
 h planners sought to overcome obstacles to the efficient tra
 nsport of accident victims that were posed by complex urban 
 infrastructures.
