A student collapses in the classroom. The teacher immediately prepares to drive him to the hospital.
❌ Principal: No! Your car is not a qualified ambulance!
Principal: “No! Your car is not a qualified ambulance; you can’t use it!”
Teacher: “Okay, then I’ll call an ambulance.”
Principal: “Well, it’s not that you can’t! But you need to provide the ambulance’s:
- Application for execution duty area range;
- Administrator identification documents;
- Manager license and identification documents;
- Ambulance personnel certificates;
- Ambulance personnel identification documents;
- Ambulance driver professional driver's license;
- Other documents designated by local health authority;
- Compulsory vehicle liability insurance."
Teacher: “You can ask for anything, can I call the ambulance now?”
Principal: “No! The school must take the lead. This concerns the student’s life; I do everything according to regulations.”
Teacher: “Aren’t you making this difficult? This is a life-saving matter!”
Principal: “I’m not making it difficult! The school must safeguard student safety.”
🛒 Final Purpose: Purchasing School Ambulance
Teacher: “Then what exactly do you want?”
Principal: “At the end-of-semester school affairs meeting, please support the school’s proposal to purchase an ambulance for the school. Once the vehicle is purchased, we can transport that student to the hospital.”
