      Yeah, imagine being a parent and your kid is in a foreign land has a medical emergency but you don’t know what it is and whether your kid is going to live or what.

      I certainly can imagine myself calling an ambulance. But maybe it’s my “socialist” mind thinking here…

        I recently had severe food poisoning in Cambodia, like, really really bad, followed by a severe stomach infection. I just went to a doctor. Ambulance is for when you’re not able to go to a doctor/hospital yourself and/or you need immediate care. I don’t consider food poisoning in that category, but I wasn’t there so I don’t know what the condition of the kid was.

          You obviously know better than the German paramedics.

      In civilized countries, if you feel sick enough that you don’t think you can make it to a doctor or emergency room on your own, you call an ambulance
