In California, our biggest problem when I was a dispatcher, was the doctors who tried to call us directly. No, Really, the patient is fine, no I haven't seen them, but their family says the chest pain shortness of breath grand mal seizures uncontrolled bleeding loss of consciousness.... is absolutely normal for them and you don't need the lights and sirens. (pick any of the complaints above, mix and match they sure did) Then the doctors started to think they got smart.... Ummmm, I need an ambulance for an elderly patient with the flu.... ummmm, yeah aches pains, ummmm....coughing, .... just not able to get out of bed, they need to be checked out you know... nothing serious, saw them recently.... just an ambulance non emergency. Translation: Middleaged male unconscious after experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath, doctor hasn't actually seen the pt. The doctors were too stupid to understand that we acually called these people on another line and figured out the truth.
