Last night I was laying around with the wife, watching TV, and listening to her Police scanner.
About 11:00 PM, someone calls 911 and needs a ambulance. The call came from County Housing Projects. Alle-Kiski Medical center is about a 4-5 minute walk from the housing projects. The caller had the end of a Q-tip stuck in their ear!!!
So if this was you, would you walk 5 min. to the E.R., Get in the car and drive for 1-2 minutes to the E.R., or call 911 and wait for an Ambulance to take your ass to the E.R.
I don't think it is wrong to assume that the caller does not have to pay for their own insurance.. or Ambulance ride..
The last time I got a ride in the ambulance I also got a bill for $375.00
