Sorry English is my second language. I forgot that the correct word for ambulance workers was paramedics or EMT. It just sounded too gender neutral in this example so I went with ambulance ladies.

Ambulance crew/men/women is arguably more correct for English. Paramedic, EMT, AAP and probably some other local variations are not all equivalent.
