That's what I'm afraid of... this guy, if this story is true, is very lucky that he was near a hospital that could take care of him.
If he was having a serious cardiac issue, who's to know if the ER that he pulls into has a cardiac cath lab or really, anything above suturing and simple obstetrics services.
Different hospitals have different capabilities. That's what worries me about this whole thing.
We've had stories here about people thinking their friend was having a heart attack, so they were speeding down the highway at twice the speed limit to try to get to a hospital. What the driver didn't know was that he had passed up two different ERs with higher levels of care than the hospital he was speeding to.
I still prefer people pull over and call 911.
