she's using hyperbole but referring to a real thing which is how vietnam vets started paramedicine in urban areas after coming back from the war.

your implied point is correct too though, because battlefield medicine influenced civilian care going back to napoleonic wars, or really honestly the crusades or probably before the crusades if you look at other countries
this is a cool article i found on it

she's probably talking about freedom house EMS though.

Founded in a predominantly Black neighborhood and staffed entirely by Black paramedics, the Freedom House Ambulance Service set the standard for ambulance services and helped establish the training program and procedures for modern EMS systems.

its honestly a cool story
