Question: How can we deal with doctors at clinics that abuse the EMS system? We frequently go to these clinics, lights and sirens, only to arrive with a non-emergency call. More often than not, the patient states “the doctor called you guys, because she said I will get in quicker than driving in by car.” It gets very aggravating when the general public abuse the medical system, but when a medical doctor does it, that is way worse.
