Maybe so, but so what? If a medical professional tells me I should go to the hospital, I'm going to go. I'm not a doctor. I don't know how to diagnose injuries and illnesses beyond a very basic level.

That's exactly the point. People forget that EMS are not doctors. All they have is way more medical training than the average civilian. That's why it's a CYA for them. So the person that shows up to the ER as advised by EMS which later turns out to be a non-emergency is not the fault of the patient. Why punish them with unholy fees?
