Re: Ask me about being an EMT.
 
i worked for a healthcare-related temp hiring agency over the summer, and it seemed like a lot of people bitched about how over-worked they are.

my question is how often are ambulance related rides pointless? as in people calling for an ambulance for a bloody nose or something instead of an ACTUAL emergency. and does everyone who uses an ambulance, even for legitimate reasons, have to pay?

What percentage of people should have just gotten on the bus and gone to the hospital?

I don't know. Don't really have the statistics on that. As for if everyone has to pay, I'd assume it's like any other medical type billing. Insurance, etc. Don't really know. EMT's aren't involved in that end.

I don't really knokw. You seem to be asking how many are not emergencies? Again I don't have the stats. And it can be tough to gauge if your having a real emergency or not. I mean you can risk looking like a sissy, or risk dying on a bus.

WHEN YOU GET CALLED HOW OFTEN IS IT NOT ACTUALLY AN EMERGENCY? I am not a robot, I don't need an exact percentage.
