    Though I read a story (I think on lemmy, though it’s been a while) of someone trying to meet an ambulance in the middle of nowhere (Texas, I want to say?) as their friend was bleeding out, basically.

    A lady did what you describe and it took critical time away. The friend ended up dying just before they met the emts.

    Not everyone who looks like they are a dick, are one.

      If you do what the comment describes it’s fine. But if you do it to an ambulance you deserve to be shot as I do think we can all agree there is a distinct difference between any regular car and an ambulance.

        I think the story goes that the ambulance was driving towards a car containing the patient, and the car containing the patient was also driving towards the ambulance.

          It’s tragic but that is an infrastructure failure more than anything else.

          I’m my tiny country we have trauma helicopters for stuff like that. You should never get into your own car with stuff like that.

          Secondly how did it is to have a alarm line operator tell you to get into your own car to meet the ambulance half way. How did that work?
