So today we get a call from a family doctor that has a patient with a toe ulcer that he’s had for 3 months. The doctor wants to send this patient into the ER by ambulance despite this not being an emergency. The patient’s son meets his father at the doctor’s office and follows the ambulance to the hospital. Nice use of resources there.. Patient ends up waiting for 6 hours for something his family doctor could have treated. ugh.
