It shouldn't be like calling the police.

If you call the police you might wind up dead or in an institution for months or weeks.

If you call for an am ambulance, you might wind up dead or in an institution for months or weeks AND will definitely have a huge bill that you have to pay.

Why not, it will definitely reduce the amount of sick people. Because they are dead of course, but still.

Joking obviously.
