Even at a max of 300 OD calls a month, that only averages down to 10 OD calls a day. It is still 10 calls too many, but if there are 10 ambulances in Metro Vancouver + Fraser Valley, then we are really only looking at 1 OD call per amulance per day.
I am not questioning the average wait times for ambulances. But why are there so few ambulances in service?

Said a regular number for paramedics being off on stress leave etc is 30% give or take
