Slang for an ambulance, used in British English. The name is starkly descriptive — associating the vehicle with the emergencies it attends. Sits in the same register as other blunt emergency-service slang, often used by paramedics, hospital staff, or people comfortable with dark humor about medical situations.
The blood box pulled up outside with its lights still going, and the paramedics rushed a stretcher through the door.
