Comment Uber to the rescue! (Score 2) 334
I have only had to call an ambulance once in my life. The one time was for my stepdaughter who passed out and hit her head. By the time they got there, she was up and on her feet. She said she felt ok now, but they took her to the hospital anyway. The hospital is about 1/2 mile away from my apartment. The doctors said that she just got up too quick and whited out. Nothing to be concerned with and the bump on her head was not a concussion.
About a month later, I got the bill. My out of pocket expense was $800 for a 2 minute ride. That was not even the the hospital bill! That was just for the ride in the ambulance! It was the first time I called an ambulance. I will never call again unless it is absolutely necessary!
No wonder people call Uber!
