Like with compressor oil mist and whatever bacteria accumulate in the receiver tank?

That said, last time I visited an ER I was told the reason the wait was so long was that it was "the Emergency Room".

vomiting for several hours and a very painful 'spot' on his throat. Homeless street kid afraid to send for help after a couple days he got slowly better. Only positive was he never did that again.

My friend survived that stupidity part of his life went on to join the military. Got medical training in the military and then on to a good civilian life in the medical field. He still has a tiny scar on his throat where Freon froze an area.

it's the propellant. Don't know first hand, huffing wasn't the "thing" it is these days back in the bad old days when I was in school. I thought huffing was a high school thing, but this guy clearly is beyond that age.

I guess its another case of police assuming a person is just drunk. Neglect on the part of police again.

for police to drive suspects to the ER to have them cleared for jail processing. Someone just throwing up doesn't sound like it merits an ambulance. Presumably he could walk and talk at the time of arrest. If anyone made a mistake, it was the hospital staff

Not every case needs an ambulance. People drive themselves to the ER all the time because their symptoms don't appear life threatening. He was still sent back to the waiting room after being triaged. That's on the hospital

to put the person in a police car rather than wait between 12 and 19 minutes for an ambulance to respond.
