"ambulance" means: An emergency vehicle designed for transporting seriously ill or injured people to a hospital.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached.

"ambulance" means: An emergency vehicle designed for transporting seriously ill or injured people to a hospital.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
