@troublewithwords@wandering.shop I once had a really funny (and capable) first responder while I lay flat in the back of an ambulance. Would have rated him 10/10.
But yes, it's insanity. Especially in such a situation.
I guess there's indeed a motive to figure out how they can milk even more out of us, some data harvesting too I guess, but to me this only means shunning these companies/services as much as I can.

@thisislieven@c.im The responders themselves were fine (and it is not an easy job). But I live in the US so this ambulance ride was less than one city block, and it cost me more than $1,000. But I arrived in no worse condition than I started. The businesses behave as if there is no alternative. And I guess there are few alternatives to hospitals, but I'm finding there are quite a lot of things one doesn't have to be a part of. It's not so bad.
