Comment on Paramedics not sent to a third of 999 ambulance calls in parts of England

Article is misleading as fuck. A third of life or death 999 ambulance calls are not attended by a paramedic… they’re attended by a doctor, who has significantly more training than a paramedic.
Can’t make this shit up. The NHS is under-funded as fuck and the Guardian is complaining about the one thing that isn’t a problem

The article states that some of the calls not attended by paramedics may be attended by an EMT.
So, the complete opposite of your comment.

So one spokesperson who is paid to male the NHS look good in front of the media claims that “some” incidents were responded to by a doctor. That some could be just the one.
Where there are multiple sources in the article claiming statistics of the number of incidents that do not have a paramedic on site, just EMTs.
Yeah, not buying your “mountain out of a molehill” argument.
