Ah but you see, tell people it's not worth it and the next thing you know we'll get another one of those "drivers refuse to stop and help kiddie that got run over" stories. Or the one about someone bleeding to death on the pavement and everyone stepping over them. "I thought it was a drunk". Also I'm not sure people *do* always know enough to refuse an ambulance. I mean, you're always getting people who don't realise they *don't* need an ambulance. It must work both ways, and passers by might be right occasionally, like if blood is gushing out of someone's head or something. Hope you feel better soon. Is it the dreaded cold that's been doing the rounds? It's a bugger that one.
