    Isn’t this just an expected correlation? Most people who take an ambulance to the E.R. will be seen quicker because most people who are in an ambulance have an emergency so they have a a reason to be seen quicker.

      There are a lot of people who call ambulances for inane, non-emergency bullshit. I’ve seen people come in by ambulance for minor complaints that have been ongoing for months or even years.
