Brickbat: What's Your Hurry?

Florida's Miami-Dade Police Department said it is investigating video showing an officer blocking a pregnant woman from entering the emergency room of Jackson Memorial Hospital's West Campus. The video shows two officers parked at the entrance to the ER, apparently talking to each other from their cars, when Kevin and Sabrina Enciso pull up. When the police cars didn't move, Kevin honked his horn. One officer drove off, but the other pulled the two over and wouldn't let them leave. When Kevin tried to explain that his wife was pregnant and was recently in an accident and in pain, the officer insisted on calling fire rescue, even though they were just outside the door to the ER.

To Pacify and Aggress
Anybody want to bet that the Police and Fire Department will bill their insurance?
A few years ago a school bus was in a minor accident. Nobody was hurt but the police on the scene decided to call ambulances for everybody. Minors are not allowed to refuse medical transport. The ambulance service made a lot of money that day.
I often think cops do that on purpose just to stick people with bills for several thousand dollars.
Anyone booked into jail here (S. TX) gets a mandatory checkup, provided by personnel from a local hospital. The hospital then bills the people arrested and/or their insurance company. New doctors who haven't completed their residency are allowed to do the jail work to supplement their residency pay.
Know one person who made a lot this way. Know another who lost a lot paying for the "services".
absolutely. FD will record a 45 minute drive-time minimum for the bill.
I had a standing rule that I would not get in an ambulance unless my life depended on it. The costs are high and unfortunately, I have assets for them to take. That allows them to charge me a fortune to cover those who have nothing.
To Protect and Serve! Thin Blue Line!
I saw this on the Daily Mail last week. Apparently the cop's parting shot to the couple was "Never honk at a police officer." He basically admitted to detaining them for pissing him off. And since he couldn't give them a ticket for doing nothing wrong, he called an ambulance to be sure they'd get stuck with a bill for several thousand dollars. Twenty minutes of pain while in the shadow of the hospital, and a bill for a twenty foot ride in an ambulance. Just to be a dick.
The story sounds suspicious. Why would they get in the ambulance if they could walk into the ER? And they can’t be forced into the ambulance. Nor can they be charged for an ambulance they didn’t call or use.
Nor can they be charged for an ambulance they didn’t call or use.
You sure about that? The cop called fire and rescue to check her out, literally in the shadow of the ER. That's not free.
I suppose it can be different in different locations, but it’s typical that a potential patient that doesn’t go to the hospital doesn’t pay for an ambulance if it wasn’t requested by the “patient.”
You must live somewhere nicer than the rest of us.
Around here that ambulance company definitely expects to get paid, and it's real damn certain neither the officer or the PD will be paying.
That’s when you respond to the bill with a copy of the referral letter you sent to the state AG to request an investigation of fraud, coercion, and intimidation.
who could defund our heroes?
Earning the hate every day.
