PRIVATE AMBULANCES HIRED TO WAIT BY CLUBS

Some Manhattan nightclubs have hired private ambulance companies to wait
outside and to take revelers who overdose on drugs to hospital emergency
rooms, bypassing the 911 system and the attention of the police.

The practice was noticed last fall by emergency room nurses at St.
Vincent's Manhattan when a large number of people who had overdosed began
showing up on weekend nights, usually transported by private ambulances.
