Always_Ask_Questions,
“You are possibly diverting hatzola from a possible another emergency and risking lives as hatzola is driving fast to get to you. Also, you are risking that next time they’ll be hesitant to respond to your address or to a similar event. Furthermore, you are discouraging people to volunteer for hatzola. Enough reasons?”
As with my post about whether the policy could be to respond to any call made, even if the caller subsequently said the services were not needed, these reasons are speculative and potentially invalid. I find the contention that false calls discourage people from volunteering to be the most dubious. As far as driving fast – hatzolah’s response model is based more on their responders being in close physical proximity to the callers than blazing down boulevards from a centralized station with sirens screaming (though there’s some of that too). Also, even if you did call right back, you’re likely to not stop at least some of the response from happening – they’re gearing up and going before the call even ends! Finally, asserting that hatzolah would hesitate to respond to a call suggests an unprofessionalism in their operations that is unwarranted.
