I had forgotten about it until christopher’s post
Garrett Morgan, It’s safe to say that Garrett Morgan’s most prominent original designs have saved thousands of lives since their invention. Take his traffic signal, which he patented in 1922. It was the first to offer a third “caution” signal, which we now know as the yellow light.
Kudos for letting me learn something new each day.

Presbyterian Hospital of Pittsburgh,PA.
The Freedom House Ambulance Service, started in 1967, laid the foundation for standard emergency treatments.
Due to the lack of trained responders many patients died en route.
In their first year, the FHSA made 5,868 runs, transported 4,627 patients, responded to approx 15 calls a day, with a DOA record of only 1.9 percent.
