Originally posted by Eirikur View PostSomething similar happened to a friend of mine, he told the crew he was privately insured, they made some calls and delivered him into a private hospital.
However I live not far from an A&E so unless I was dying/head injury/back injury etc, someone whether they where flagged down on the street be able to dump me at A&E as it would be quicker than calling an ambulance.
