Its shocking how many people call 911 for very minor things, there is absolutely a problem with the system and how often its abused. Now this info comes from various paramedics I know in the city and they could all very well just be super jaded. But they say 1/4 of calls are a complete waste of their time. That just seems crazy to me, I've never dialed 911 in my entire life, and they have some people they see over and over again who call 911, almost becoming regulars.
