Fun fact. I slashed my wrist with a broken bottle at a party once. Had someone call an ambulance. They said nothing major hit. Wrapped me up. Asked if I wanted a ride.
I said no cause it's dumb money. Then I asked how to pay them. They said they only charge for rides. It blew my mind. My potentially life saving call didn't cost me anything. (Its over $1,000 for an ambulance ride).
I told them I'm good now and got a ride to the ER. Expensive stitches after waiting for hours. I should've taken off the bandage and walked in dripping blood.
It blows my mind that calling an ambulance could ever cost money.
When you need an ambulance, seconds could mean the difference between life and death.
Putting a decision in front of it that could financially ruin you or the person you're helping is absolutely bonkers.
I live in Quebec. Our ambulances cost money too. Although they're less expensive than American ones (about 200 CAD).
And yeah, literally everyone thinks that's stupid.
