The physician-staffed emergency medical service (EMS) unit was dispatched on a Saturday afternoon by the primarily alerted ambulance; the mission keyword was “Collapse at the bus stop”; a man had fainted and passers-by had alerted the EMS. A 63-year-old male patient was found lying on the ground, responsive but disoriented, taken to the ambulance, and the subsequent alerting of the physician-staffed EMS was initiated. The journey was very relaxed, as the information from the EMS dispatch center for this mission “Subsequent alert in case of syncope, patient responsive, lying in the ambulance” gave the physician-staffed EMS unit driver and EMS physician the impression that this would be a medically rather uncritical mission.
