Why was there an ambulance in the police station

[Dealey Joe]

I am also not sure the ambulance was already there, we are not sure how much time elapsed? I think to assume the ambulance was waiting might be wrong?

Managed to find this video which gives what looks like a full time line and you are right Joe that the ambulance does from this video arrive an impressive few minutes later, the car which I thought was the white ambulance looks like a police car escorting the prisoner transfer van. It also confirms that the basement was locked down after the shooting. Interesting that the TV men keep calling him Lee Harold Oswald.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5khMFFKslw

The spleen,stomach,aorta,kidney,liver,diaphragm, Lee Oswald died from a massive hemorrhage.In everyday terms "he bleed to death"Precisely, Tommy, although, if you read the medical report, a valiant effort was made to stem the haemorrhaging that came very close to succeeding. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the right renal artery and vein were destroyed by the bullet as well. The mistake Oswald made was to try to turn away from Ruby, allowing the bullet to transit his upper abdomen laterally. If he had remained facing Ruby, the wounding might have been limited to his left lung.
