If I call an ambulance to take me to the hospital - as I understand it - the EMS people will stay with me until I'm admitted. That makes no sense in all circumstances. If you're good enough to sit in a waiting room chair, let's make you do that so the ambulance can hit the road.

Yeah and that's exactly it. You have paramedics just sitting there, effectively killing time, meanwhile we hear about times there are no ambulances available.
