Two homeless men in Fresno have called for an ambulance an average of nearly twice a day for more than a year, racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and even more when they get to a hospital.
They are Fresno County's highest-volume ambulance users -- "frequent fliers" as they are called in the business -- and their 1,363 combined trips made up 1.34% of all American Ambulance calls in the county last year.
"I call all the time," Cesar Arana, 41, said while sitting on a bus-stop bench downtown. "I have a major problem with my liver."
Lonzel McPeters, 51, has seizures and says he grows concerned when he senses one coming on.
"I'd be having seizures on a regular basis," said McPeters, wearing a neck brace to stabilize a broken C-7 vertebrae after a January seizure. "I call when I feel like I'm having seizures."

Members of the Great Exogenous tell me that if I miss out on my property taxes, the public sector unions come at me armed, to take my house. I dunno why, it is these two who are stealing cop salaries, not me. My only crime is that I am not allowed a fair vote in the Senate to stop these mandates. So the DC Great Exogenizers tell me to fork over my home to pay for these bozos or I will lose my home, and I never got to vote!!! Jerry Brown supports this crap.
