How is it bullshit?
If all ambulances do is "give people rides" why dont they just use them as taxis then?
Hint: Cos its retarded
Actually all the ambulance did was give me a ride. I had severe abdominal pain that was debilitating
And I ultimately passed out. The EMT at the time said "we can't give you anything unless you are in imminent risk of death"- so all they could do was give me a ride to the ER ( no way I could drive and I didn't know anyone in that city). Unless you are gushing blood it turns out there is little the EMTs are authorized to do. Lesson learned.
I challenged the cost of the ambulance and had it reduced but only by 25%. Ambulance charges are off the charts high because those we can pay end up covering those who don't.
