If they are AAOX3 let them out.
I would think that the best idea is to first-explain why they are in the ambulance in the first place and the risks associated with denying medical care. And of course, having the patient sign the forms denying medical care. If they sign the form, then you would probably just have them call someone to pick them up from the hospital...at least you are covered if you do everything you can and have their signature-this relieves you from any responsibility should something happen and they attempt a law suit.
