Absolutely and sometimes it’s even more efficient. And sometimes you need an ambulance.

I needed the ambulance. I couldn't walk. I had to sit on the side walk. It's going to leave some bruise and it's all ready very noticeable.

I’m sorry to hear that and I’m more than willing to stipulate to the fact that most adults know when they need an ambulance. Not sure why this is a bone of contention for some people.

They may have been trying to help because in many cases an ambulance is not covered by insurance. I learned this the hard way; got stuck with an $800 bill for a ride from JSQ to JCMC once. I didn’t understand at the time why the EMTs were asking if I wanted them to drive my son to the hospital or wanted to just take a cab.

Absolutely, and sometimes it’s more important to post on Reddit before seeking “emergency” medical care.. oh wait…

See that's where you're completely wrong. I was waiting for them on the sidewalk and then I posted. You must be a scorned cyclist ....
