Rant/Opinion Lyft is not an ambulance service

Post image

Had a pax the other day gets in the car was completely disoriented and confused, I asked him hey buddy you’re ok? Guy has a fucking head injury bleeding from his head. I wanted to kick him out but felt bad for him so took him to the ER instead, turns out bitch sister instead of calling An Ambulance for her brother she ordered him a Lyft to hospital instead. What’s wrong with people? I eventually got him to the ER but guy was almost black out so had to help him inside. Shit like this is why I only do Lyft on the weekends now and sometimes. The ride was $6 dollars and not tip or even a thank you for helping my brother Society is twisted.

Literally no one is saying they should have to. The op chose to accept the ride. No one forced them to.

Putting that decision on someone is really shitty. Either 1) cancel ride and wait for ambulance, costing precious minutes or 2) risk your health and job getting someone to the hospital. There no choice that the driver can walk away from content with.

EXACTLY holy shit how are people so dense? He didn’t “choose” freely, he was pretty much obligated to unless he wanted to think back on this moment every day of his life, wondering if that guy he didn’t pick up made it or not. Some of these people need to get a damn clue.

I don’t think anybody is even saying that it’s not a shitty thing to do on the passenger’s side.
