False calls, as in traps for meds? None. I've never had an illegitimate call. Some things might seem minor compared to others, but I haven't had an instance where the call was undeserved. That's just my experience though, I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
Oh actually there was one call that comes to mind that some would consider unnecessary. A lady had a complained of shortness of breath (which is a routine call) when we got there, her vitals were fine, she had no wheezing, etc. She was pretty much just lonely and needed somebody to talk to. Sometimes that's part of the job too, is just being there to listen when a person needs it.
