Don't need to be a cost... We could just have 911 send a taxi instead.
I know in other countries ambulances are not always dispatched, because 911 operators decide it's not critical.
Mostly this decision is correct, but from time to time a heart patient dies.
(Maybe the alternative should be to send a taxi)
- jimbob45 7y agoIs that a thing in other countries? Sounds like an excellent idea for a bill here.
- jopsen 7y agoIn Denmark we have cases where ambulances are not dispatched because operators don't think it necessary.. But I don't think the dispatch taxis instead -- besides our taxi availability is highly limited and extremely expensive (Uber being prohibited). To be fair taxi drivers are certified, and service is IMO high quality.
