In Fort Worth, MedStar won't send an ambulance when a taxi will do

star-telegram.com — Every five minutes, a caller dials 911 for MedStar. But twice every hour, that call isn't really an emergency. Beginning Monday, a MedStar nurse will decide by phone which callers need an ambulance and which really just need a doctor's appointment or a ride. Some callers to 911 will be sent a cab later.
