In the USA, if there’s any doubt, the dispatcher sends emergency services right away. They err on the side of caution. Why didn’t that happen there in this case?

That depends on location. I’m a bradycardiac, which is a person with abnormally low heart rate, typically well below 50 at rest. I woke up early one morning with a rate over 120. I called ER and was told by a woman who could hardly speak English to drink a glass of water and go back to bed.
I called an ER in a nearby city and was told to get to the ER ASAP.
