It’s unfortunately legally required to transport someone that’s not A&Ox4.

It’s annoying when we know someone really doesn’t need to go, but if we don’t the responders are looking at losing their job, license, a lawsuit, or even being criminally charged.

How is an ambulance ride $5k though? Do EMTs make like $2500 p/h?

  There’s greed (particularly with overpriced private ambulances) but ambulance are legitimately expensive to operate in the USA.
