A man in China called for an ambulance as he complained of chest pain. And when the ambulance arrived, he asked the staff to go and buy him two steamed buns.
Beijing's 120 Emergency Medical Center said that 30 per cent of emergency ambulance calls were unnecessary.
"This month, for the ambulance I'm assigned to, 30 to 40 runs were from timewasters out of 140 in total," a doctor, Zhao, said.
