There are a lot less hospitals than ambulances in Calgary as well - even if we had to take one nurse to supervise the ambulance drop off area patients if that frees up multiple ambulances at a time its probably a good trade.

At the very least give the EMS guys a dedicated intake person or a way to bypass the line. I watched 2 EMS guys stand in line at the Airdrie UC yesterday with a patient for almost an hour before they were triaged, seems like such a horrible use of their time
