True story. I have delivered to the ER no less than two people having a heart attack in an Uber while I worked driving Uber. Both of them literally said the same thing, that it was too expensive for an ambulance and it was much cheaper for an Uber. The second one we even pulled up next to an ambulance and the guy hollered out the window and the ambulance said we can’t do anything. You just need to follow us to the hospital.
You’re making that up, right?
This is from an 80s movie about a distopian future (like RoboCop or Total Recall), right!?
I mean, do you stop at red lights in that situation? You probably have to… Do you keep the speed limit and have some small talk with the guy fighting for his life, while you sit in traffic?
If I have a heart attack, I’ll be calling an uber first

That people normalize this is maddening.
It’s not normalized and it is madness
You mean, commiserate?
I said what I said.
