Sadly I think this is a partial answer. Working as a paramedic, for all the times I saw people saying “y’know, maybe I don’t really need to go to the ER”, there were also the people who really did need to but were too scared. Be it 90 year olds with severe lacerations or heart attacks, there was a fear that we had to manage and balance.
