[β] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 113 points 6 days ago (2 children) Someone once said an ambulance isnβt your personal taxi to the hospital, like my brother in fuck what do you think it is then? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] waigl@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago (5 children) At the risk of getting myself a rain of downvotes here: An ambulance is an expensive and somewhat rare mini-ER on wheels that's designed to help a small team of expensive and somewhat rare specialists stabilize a dangerous condition on a patient until it reaches a hospital. Since it is important to keep those somewhat rare vehicles and teams in reserve for when they are suddenly urgently needed, you really shouldn't use one as a taxi to the hospital if whatever your condition is doesn't call for that. (Asking enormous sums of money of the patient for the privilege is IMHO still wrong. The decision to use an ambulance or not should not be based on whether you can can easily part with a couple thousand dollars.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [β] jtrek@startrek.website 42 points 6 days ago (2 children) I don't believe there is a problem of people needlessly calling ambulances. If that was the case, the appropriate response would not be to charge everyone bank breaking fees for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago We seem to in Japan.

Stubbed toe? Reimburse a ride share. Fractured arm? EMT in a lower cost van. Urgent trauma? Full rig and EMT crew. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 16 points 6 days ago (1 child) There is NOTHING expensive about the people in the back of that ambulance. They get paid less than I do working at a grocery store. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] waigl@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago There is in the sense that they cannot easily be replaced. Whether they actually get paid appropriately for that is another story. permalink fedilink source parent [β] greenskye@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago I'd be more ok with this if the expensive specialists on board were actually making bank instead of really low wages. permalink fedilink source parent [β] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago In more civilized countries, they would charge you for abuse if you call an ambulance when you don't need it. But even the fine is less than this number. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Mojitas@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (1 child) Exactly, its your personal free ride.
