As an American who uses the 24-hour time, so many people use 12-hour I basically still use 12-hour.

    I think so. I work in EMS and we use 24 hr. All my clocks and devices are set to 24 hr and I am irritated when I can’t change them off the 12 hr clock. It’s safer, if I tell you a medication was last administered at 10:00 there’s room for error, but if I tell you it was given at 2200 there’s no confusion.

      Not sure if this applies to you, but how does EMS work with time across timezones? Like if a patient is airlifted from one location to another and crosses timezones? Is that another source of error, or is generally things being an hour off by accident not an issue?
