There is a golden hour between life and death.
If you are critically injured, you have less than 60 minutes to survive.
You might not right then; it might be three days later or two weeks later.
But something has happened in your body that is irreparable.
R. Adams Cowley.

Have you ever wondered what leads up to the Kent Air Ambulance being dispatched? Doctors and nurses all agree that the first hour after an accident, the 'Golden Hour' is the most important. If a patient reaches hospital during those first 60 minutes the chances of survival are greatly increased. Left is a typical scenario.
