indeed. while i was reading up on this i kept wondering if there is no way to call a doctor without calling an ambulance. i know there are private doctors that you can call (i recently saw a report about a doctor who said that he gets called specifically because his patients do not want to be taken to a hospital (and don't need to)), but when you call emergency services then an ambulance seems to be the only option.

Here in Australia we have a line you can call, I think it was started during covid.

No idea how useful it'd be for non-covid calls though. Probably not very.
