I'm sure everyone has run those calls with patients that are calling 911 for an expedited trip straight into the ED. I responded to a call the other day to a patient that was requesting EMS transport so that she could get into the ED quicker. My partner and I were absolutely infuriated. I was working a 24 hr shift, and the county was falling apart around us, wrecks, 33 sick calls, and 33 transfers out of town. How do you deal with these type calls, and how do you explain to a patient that EMS is not for taxi transports?
