You wonder why no one at EMS gave a shit?? Well EMS stands for Emergency Medical Services.. and since a homeless man is not a medical emergency.. no one gave a shit!

NOHD-EMS typically has 8-13 units covering the entire city. People that call in complaining of chest pains or shortness of breath get priority over "a homeless man with no place to go".

If you really want to give that homeless bum a $500 tax payer funded ride to a hospital in an ambulance, then tell him to lay on the ground and call 911 and say you see an unconscious nonresponsive man on the sidewalk!
