In the Philippines, people don't even use Ambulances all that much. It is mostly the rich that do, since one has to pay for them, and they cost a lot. A lot of the hospitals are almost always full. I guess this is one sign of the world's overpopulation. First world, third world, most hospitals are swamped with patients.
I hope the person hospitalized gets better soon.
Overpopulation certainly adds to the issues although I think there's others as well, and all are equally difficult to deal with probably.
