the availability of properly equipped ambulances -- provided by
hospitals rather than by morticians
We might say the byproducts of the morticians' ambulance service
were the living patients taken to the hospital -- in marketing terms a
"loss leader." Morticians were not inclined to include life support
equipment or trained personnel in their ambulances because the majority
of their clientele had no need for such services. [AER]
