The lives of 緊急 患者s are at 危険 because thousands of Australians tie up 資源s by calling ３倍になる-0 for trivial 推論する／理由s.

救急車 Victoria 株d some of the most ridiculous 緊急 calls it received to bring attention to the problem.

More than 45,000 calls between October and December last year 要求するd no 救急車 活動／戦闘 and only wasted important time of 緊急 responders.

Ambulance Victoria officials said 45,000 calls between October and December last year required no ambulance action and only wasted important time of emergency responders

救急車 Victoria 公式の／役人s said 45,000 calls between October and December last year 要求するd no 救急車 活動／戦闘 and only wasted important time of 緊急 responders

Calls 含むd people trying to find a 早い antigen 実験（する） or because they had a nightmare and couldn't get 支援する to sleep.

One 脅すd 報知係 rang while hiding under a tree from a 急襲するing magpie and another was trying to listen to music to 静める 負かす／撃墜する during alcohol 撤退 and called because they couldn't work their Spotify playlist.

緊急 操作者s also heard from a horrified mother who thought her child had developed cyanosis - 肌 discolouration - only to find the child had been eating blueberries.

One 患者 called after deliberately pricking themselves with an acupuncture needle to '実験（する） if it was sharp' and another 需要・要求するd a 'lights and サイレン／魅惑的なs' 救急車 after they were almost bitten by a cat they believed had rabies.

One frightened caller had rung triple zero while hiding under a tree from a swooping magpie

One 脅すd 報知係 had rung ３倍になる 無 while hiding under a tree from a 急襲するing magpie

One in five calls to ３倍になる 無 do not 要求する 緊急 活動／戦闘 and 公式の／役人s are pleading with the public to think before they dial.?

救急車 Victoria 長，指導者 操作／手術s officer Anthony Carlyon said the clogged system was 危険ing lives.

'Every time someone calls ３倍になる-0, and if that's in a ma gnitude that 妨げるs ESTA getting to a 報知係, there's no 疑問 that unnecessary calls not only 延期する some calls 存在 answered, but if that call isn't heard at all, we can't 派遣（する） an 救急車,' he told the 先触れ（する） Sun.

However, Mr Carlyon said paramedics also ran into trouble with 患者s who believed their 返答 wasn't 適する.

患者s may not always receive a 'lights and サイレン／魅惑的なs' 救急車 or responders may organise a taxi to take 患者s to the 緊急 room in place of the 緊急 乗り物.

代案／選択肢s are recommended to about 700 患者s each da y to 供給する a 20 per cent 救済 利ざや on 緊張するd 救急車 乗組員s.?

However, Mr Carlyon said these 代案／選択肢s were often met with 怒り／怒る and 乱用.?

'高度に trained 医療の professionals are able to make these 決定／判定勝ち（する）s. You are in 専門家 手渡すs even if you do not receive an 救急車,' he said.

Mr Carlyon said 'frequent callers' and non-emergency calls have only worsened the emergency hotline crisis

Mr Carlyon said 'たびたび（訪れる） 報知係s' and 非，不，無-緊急 calls have only より悪くするd the 緊急 hotline 危機

One Geelong 居住（者） said his middle-老年の 隣人 had a habit for calling for 緊急 乗組員s several times a week.

The 失望させるd 隣人 said the man would いつかs call for an 救急車 twice a day or call for two at once.

He said the man's 決まりきった仕事 is always the same: he would '準備する' for the 緊急 乗り物 by moving his car out of driveway, ask a 隣人 to 料金d his cat, visit the 緊急 room for a few hours before coming home in a taxi and ordering a pizza.

He said at times the man would begin his 決まりきった仕事 several hours before he 'suddenly 崩壊（する）d' or developed heart attack symptoms.???

Mr Carlyon said 'たびたび（訪れる） 報知係s' like the Geelong man only より悪くするd the 緊急 hotline 危機.

'They do impair our ability to 答える／応じる. If we're used for the 権利 目的s and 正確に, people get one of the best services in the world,' he said.
