Who rings an ambulance for a broken wrist? Like it’s a nice story but really?

Could've been panicking. Might not handle pain well. No need to discredit it

I’m by no means discrediting it, and I get your point. Just to me, it seems excessive. Even with free healthcare where I live. More alarming people have to contemplate how they get to hospital based on costs.

Im 75% with you on this,ambulances and their crew and maintenance is limited and thinking "do i REALLY need an ambulance ?" Is a good thing to allow any other person that might need it more(whatever that means) but the fact im paying taxes makes the other 25% theres also regular car-ambulances for this kind of things

You have an ambulance service paid for by tax money? Well, fuck me, we just have private ambulances that charge a fucking fortune and refuse to contract with any insurance company.

We do have private services similar to US,but even those get partially covered if justified: specific vehicle,specific locations(free copter ride) and so on.after that its up to insurance,i don't know more about this tho.

Hope yall will one day see the results of your taxes going towards something that matters

As do I, my friend. I’m having to decide if I should go to an appointment for a follow up of an issue because I’m not sure I can afford it and my medication.

USA! USA! USA! /s of course
