I can personally attest to seeing ambulance rides for marijuana abuse, alcohol abuse, cold symptoms, 1 episode of vomiting, a toothache, and cold symptoms that your mother would have made you chicken soup for. And those are just off the top of my head. I have a colleague who took care of a patient who called an ambulance for "dirty steri-strips".
