NY ambulances must transport, sick or not
February 07, 2010 1:10 PM
Associated Press

SYRACUSE -- A man in suburban Syracuse called for an ambulance 140 times last year -- and he wasn't even sick.

Ambulance company officials say he was one of a number of patients who phone regularly even though they don't need treatment.

Sometimes the people are just looking for companionship. Other times they need a ride.

Often they have a minor ailment that doesn't require immediate attention, but call anyway so they can be seen in an emergency room...........>>>>...........>>>>.............http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/ambulance-1270893-need-syracuse.html

Those are the folks that used to be in 'institutions'....

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I sure hope that they bill the patient every time they transport him to the hospital.

If insurance is paying for all those non emergency calls it's no wonder the insurance rates are so high.
