Mary, it's a nice gesture, but I don't know if Tom's into that sort of stuff.

Smart EMTs! I bet it's in the manual: "When transportation to an emergency care facility is indicated and a male patient refuses transportation, request assistance from the patient's partner, who will employ well-established techniques to ensure compliance. Often, this comes in the form of the simple phrase, 'Oh yes you will!'"

Women, of course, aren't that difficult to deal with. (I know I always listen to other people and do the sensible thing.)
