post crash care delays

Delays in injured occupants receiving emergency medical treatment after a crash: EMS notification and response time, golden-hour and time-to-definitive-care effects, rural access gaps, and how these delays worsen injury and survival outcomes. The focus is the medical-response timeline and its consequences. Unlike evacuation_egress (occupants exiting the vehicle) and secondary_collisions (further impacts), this concerns the arrival and timing of outside medical care; unlike driver_post_crash_behavior, it is the care system's response, not the driver's actions.
