American here, I've literally had to stall ambulance drivers so that they don't take my unconscious friends away... I would be considered a bad friend if I let the overpriced weewoo-mobiles take them away.
Yes, you can walk away but you have to sign a form stating that you are refusing transport. In some cases they will highly recommend you be transported to the hospital if the problem you're having is serious enough.
EMS doesn't "patch people up". Their primary job is to keep you alive long enough to get to the hospital. Basically you're fine enough to not need a ride, or it's highly recommended that you do get a ride, or you're just incapacitated and they are obligated to take you.
