I've spent the early morning with ambulance staff at the control room at Norwich in Norfolk as they face one of the busiest days of the year.
The day is traditionally known to emergency services as Black Friday because of incidents related to Christmas parties and nights out.
East of England Ambulance Service, external paramedic Rob Chalk, who is based at the Gorleston depot, told me higher demand means resources can't always be stretched as far as needed.
"We are professionals and sometimes it is our perception that a patient has not called us maliciously but it's not a problem for the ambulance service. And some call out of frustration because they are unable to access care elsewhere," he said.

The service is hosting a 'Twitterthon' across the day with the aim of giving us an insight into their work:

The body which controls the health budget for Cambridgeshire has defended proposals to stop offering IVF fertility treatment on the NHS.
Dr Richard Spiers, from the Cambridgeshire Clinical Commissioning Group, denied it meant a postcode lottery for potential parents, describing it as a "matter of finance".
The move could save the CCG more than £1m a year.
"This is only a small part of the overall saving we are going to have to make," Dr Spiers told BBC Look East.
"I would like all healthcare to be free to all patients who need it but at the moment we don't have the money. It's just that simple."
The plan will now go out to a public consultation.

Trinity College's librarian Dr Nicolas Bell described the find as "an extraordinary library - one of the most important private collections in Britain, which offers untold discoveries".
He said they found what the duchess called 'the holy of holies' in an old blue suitcase stored in a bedroom cupboard.

"It contained some exceptionally rare first editions of Shelley's poems, books inscribed by William Beckford and Oscar Wilde, a pristine first edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and some bizarre curiosities such as a fragment of Voltaire's dressing gown."
