I transported 5 patients today, I don't think any of them needed an ambulance.
"Hello, 911? I got bitten by a dog 10 days ago and I think I have rabies."
"Hello, 911? I have a fever of 100, I need to go to the hospital."
Our protocol says that we must recommend to every pt we have contact with that they should go to the hospital. I'd say at least 80-90% of the jobs we do are not true emergencies.
