I say "Can I help you walk out to the ambulance?" unless it's very clear that they shouldn't be or can't be walking.

And now we have to carry everyone. Seriously. Company policy is not quite as extreme as to say "no one ambulates in our care ever" but it's close. I don't know the details of the case referenced above, but the state EMS office made a real big stink about it and now if you called us and the stretcher cannot be brought to you, the stairchair will be instead and you will be encouraged to not exert yourself despite having met us at the curb with bags packed.
 
That's because Massachusetts hates the ABCs...

Ambulate Before Carry.
 
I had no idea there would be FOUR pages of responses to this question. Some of us need to stop being so neurotic about something so simple. I Do agree with Ambulate Before Carry. Benn practicing that acronym for years. Fat people make my back hurt. This includes fat EMS personnel.
 
I don't know if I have replied to this or not, bust since it is a few years old here is my answer "carefully."
