“I surely don’t call for fun”: experiences of being a “frequent caller” to the Danish emergency helpline
Overall, our study adds to the very limited literature on the experiences of frequent callers to emergency medical helplines. It emphasizes that frequent callers are people who call for help because they continue to need help, and it points towards the necessity of developing alternative interventions to help this diverse group of people.
