What percent of those calls are actually necessary calls though? I used to watch a fire truck roll up at least once a week to check up on the same dude napping on the sidewalk. Not to try and say that the majority of their calls are like that, but that does suggest a system with at least some spare capacity.
- hammock 5y agoWhat percent of hospital stays are "actually necessary"? Who do you want to decide that?
- Talanes 5y ago>Who do you want to decide that? The hospitals, I guess? I'm making inferences from the judgement-making of...whoever, not second-guessing them. If anything, I'm giving complete faith to the system here. My assumption is if they can send out a full fire-truck to respond to a call where clearly an ambulance would be sufficient, they're not doing it despite there also being a fire that needs response.
