1)ever think about the fact that even though theres a 10 minute time discrepency the ambulance still had to ARRIVE there. So even though there was a ten minute time difference to begin with theres still travel and actual arrival time.
Thus making the gap GREATER and throwing off the time table for the rest of the evening.

duh

2) they said the reason the ticket wasnt signed was because he was already AT the hospital...but clearly he wasnt according to the time frame....the ambulance hadnt even arrived yet. so how could he be at the hospital

double duh

3) cops and EMT are on the same time...whether its a watch or a computer....a 10 minute lapse in time can mean the difference in someone being guilty or not being able to physically be at the scene of a crime. NO cops watch is TEN fucking minutes off from EMT . That kinda thing is important to solving cases.

triple duh

something tells me you'd make an equally as great FW cop if a ten minute gap in an emergency situation means nothing to you
