Why YSK: If you’re injured or ill but it’s not life or limb threatening and you decide to call an ambulance thinking it’ll be faster and you’ll be seen first… WRONG. Ambulance crews very frequently will advise the hospital staff that you “can wait”. Then we’ll plop you into a wheel chair and push you into the waiting room with everyone else.
When hubby & wife meet you at end of driveway. Hubby has “flu like symptoms” and wifey follows the ambulance for the 2.5 minute ride to the ER… you better believe the first words out of my mouth to the triage nurse will be: “This guy can wait.”
