common in usa also. fact; teenage healthy girls complaining of "stuffed nose" calls ambulance and despite ambulance crew evaluation and advice to go to clinic she insists ambulance take her to en er. usually on public assistance entitlement style.

 

at least 1 major army hospital tells er waiting room patients how long current wait is for non emergency cases. commonly military wives take their kids to er because of "runny noses" and moms often go because of things as severe as mosquito bites.  they abuse er as a convenience clinic because they had to go to beauty salon during normal clinic hours.

 

 

forgot another daily occurrence was the military wife bringing the "runny nose" kid and all her other kids and registering them though they had no complaints or symptoms. the moms would just say "may as well check them out also since we're here"
