Although you may not realize it, they have probably already dispatched the necessary first responders while you're talking to them. The questions they are asking are to assess the seriousness or nature of the problem, which are factors in determining what type of response is appropriate, eg: 1 ambulance or more, police? fire department? how many trucks? what type? Additionally, information they get during a continued contact can be passed to the emergency responders enroute, thereby allowing them to be better prepared to meet whatever challenge awaits them at the scene. The continued contact and conversation with the reporting party helps to reduce panic or anxiety in the caller, and thus helps to maintain control [albeit remote] of the incident scene until arrival of the first responder[s].

What happens if you snort Ajax?

It depends. Are we talking dish soap, laundry detergent, or cleanser? I'm guessing you're hard-core, and want to go for the cleansing powder.

If you survive, be sure and tell us all about it.

In Pennsylvania is a spouse liable for an ambulance charge when the result was death?

I have never heard of any ambulance sending a bill to a family when the patient did not get transported, nor any time a patient died en route. If the patient died while being transported, contact the ambulance company and ask what the heck they think they're doing when the standard of care nationwide is to not charge for patients who did no make it. The typical bill is for TRANSPORT SERVICES which includes a patient origin and destination. If the patient did not make it to the destination, there should be no charges. But, if the patient passed away at the hospital, how is this the fault of the ambulance?


Can you sue an ambulance service for not sending an ambulance?

Yes. Paramedics can be sued for medical malpractice and are often targeted because they are likely to be working on people that may need instant life-saving interventions. Paramedics also have significantly less training than even nurses, making their potential for making very serious mistakes considerably higher.
