    My eye-opener “wtf is going on over there” moment was when someone told me they Ubered to the hospital after they broke their arm cause ambulances are expensive.

      I started having double vision (and have a history of seizures). I drove myself to the Urgent Care, who told me to drive to the ER, who let a medical student look at me for fifteen minutes, and then sent me home (I drove back).

      At least it was only a few hundred dollars wasted, instead of a few thousand with the ambulance.
