Uh... I don't know what hospitals you've been going to. A few years back I brought a friend with a perforated ulcer to the ER. They had her under the care of nursing in about sixty seconds.
- kyriakos 10y agoYou brought your friend, ie she was escorted. In the tesla case we're assuming you are in a condition to open the car door and walk in the ER and then explain your medical emergency...
- robbiep 10y agoAt my hospital we have near-weekly cases of patients arriving in cars to the front of the Emergency Department, necessitating a resus crew operating out of the car->trolley->resus bay
- ivanca 10y agoYou can always call the hospital from the car to tell them your emergency and mention them your plates.
- jessriedel 10y agoThere's nothing preventing you from calling 911 enroute, or coordinating with the operator to pull over for ambulance pick up once you know that they are very close.
- gozur88 10y agoI'm picturing someone expiring in his car outside the hospital because nobody was around to get him into the ER. The ambulance crew does more than just drive - otherwise you might as well take a taxi.
- brokenmachine 10y agoEven a taxi driver could make sure the patient can exit the car. I'm picturing an unconcious guy arriving in a car and expiring in the car outside the hospital.
