Similar story; dislocated my shoulder, and needed to visit the ER. Came to the same conclusion at the time, that Uber would be the cheaper/easier option. The driver got me safely to the ER, likely faster than an ambulance would have. The driver was even courteous enough to help me with the door. I don't remember the exact price, but it was reasonable, I'm sure it probably saved me hundreds relative to an ambulance ride. It was probably the more socially responsible option all things considered. I didn't require urgent medical care, so taking Uber helped ensure those resources where free to those whom might have (though this thought didn't cross my mind at the time).
