In the USA, it is proper etiquette to ask if the person would prefer dying before you call an ambulance (lemmy.ml)

this shit is real

i was in a motorcycle accident and woke up surrounded by medics and ambulance 2 blocks from my house. i told them to get the fuck away from me and had to sign a waiver so i wouldnt get the 2k transport bill.

cracked skull, broken clavicle, 3 broken ribs and rash all over. 12 hours later my wife has me in the ER covered in sanitary pads.

the usa is #1 in medical bankruptcy. insurance companies only profit when human beings suffer.

was watching a lot of motorcycle youtube a few years back before I came to my senses (who the fuck wants to share a road with some of the brain doners allowed to operate cars without a car to protect you from them) and one of the guys I watched had an accident and told a passerby to call an Uber instead of an Ambulance.

America is so fucked.

I have given rides to 2 different people to the ER when I drove for Uber. They were having heart attacks. One guy tipped me so I guess he made it after I dropped them off. Not sure about the other.

The USA can't be called a democracy if their people can't change this.

the people could change it, if half the population wasnt brainwashed into voting against their own best interests.

40% of eligible voters never vote ever
