Or anyone in your profession. You have a tough job, and most of you guys (and gals) do it well.

But, those kinds of situations do happen. Fortunately, they are the minority, if not outright rare. But I had something vaguely similar happen to me. In my case, the fireman/emt made it very clear that I was coming with him, and no amount of refusal would do me any good. So, I went. 5 hrs later, the professionals decided what I knew all along, that there was nothing wrong with me (besides being an old, fat, lazy, and ugly curmudgeon).

so, don't feel I am picking on you, I'm not. But I know the way the world works.
and I was stuck with the bill. Because I "agreed" to go.
