This is a major reason why combination cars could be quickly changed into either hearse or ambulance mode by adding or removing components like flashing lights, stretchers, side panels etc. to give the car a more dignified appearance when in hearse mode or the full ambulance look when used in an emergency. This was also done to make the patients feel comfortable, knowing that trained people are taking care of them, trying their best to contribute to a speedy recovery. The last thing a patient in such a stressful situation should be reminded of, is a funeral vehicle or - even worse - the situation of being carried in one." Alternate narrator: Ah, come on, screw that! Here it is: The AMBHEARSE!
