It fails because all 5 people combined can think to ask is "what % of calls aren't emergencies", and some question about giving blowjobs or something.

Care to elaborate? Is that part of some larger perhaps funny insult. Or is this it.

How many people have died while you tried to save them.

Incorrect. It fails because you failed to answer the simplest question. When you tried to answer it you had some kind of random response about statistics, or some [censored]. It's an easy question and obviously very common. Yet by some stretch you manage to even [censored] up the most mundane question.

Quit being a [censored] idiot.

[/ QUOTE ] Lol, that actually wasn't addressed at you. Ed, no update but still no replacement cards. Being pseudo-broke sucks.

and does everyone who uses an ambulance, even for legitimate reasons, have to pay?

[/ QUOTE ]

my dad had to use an ambulance once or twice for legitimate reasons, we got a bill for like ~500-750 for each trip. I forget what it was based on, i think it was level of service needed in the ambulance + some other junk like miles, etc. There was a process for asking for the bill to be reduced, but i think our insurance did ok covering it.

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

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow is this the only question you guys can come up with? I don't know how often it is not an emergency.

[/ QUOTE ]

We don't want numbers, we want stories. One would suffice. Surely you've had at least one case where you thought WTF why am I helping this clown instead of tending to a real emergency?

Obv. I do see where you are coming from with the dying on the bus argument - so it would have to be something really stupid, like someone scratched his knee on the pavement or sth like that. If you haven't had cases like that, just say that.


Other Questions:

- What's the most horrific thing you've seen in your job?

- Do people ever specifically track you down to thank you afterward?

- What's the funniest/most embarrassing accident you've ever been called in for?

- Are you bound by some kind of non-disclosure law, like doctors?

- EMT-specific inside jokes with coworkers?
