"Should I Stay Or Should I Go"

Did you ever hear that Clash song "Should I stay or should I go"....
apparently some patients in the emergency room live by this.

They call 911 for an ambulance for something that has been bothering them for years.  They don't agree that triage is an appropriate way to manage care, it should be whoever comes in the ambulance goes to the head of the line.  When they are seen they aren't happy that the narcotics prescribed don't quite meet up with the narcotics they use from the street, so they opt to elope.  An hour after leaving without signing out they call 911 again get a free ride to the ER...  PS sucker you are now going back to the waiting room and have to be triaged again!
