Makes me want to scream. Why can't you just tell them to bloody drive themselves there? It's wrong that you still had to take her when it was obviously trivial. And yet something went horribly wrong in this case. And everyone currently thinking 'should I call the doctor/ go to pharmacy/go to A&E or call an ambulance?' will currently end up thinking 'be on the safe side and call an ambulance'. I wouldn't dream of calling an ambulance if I could get to hospital any other way on my own. I had pains in my chest once and called NHS Direct. They sent me an ambulance in the end but if I'd realised they were just going to take me to hospital I would've just called a taxi.
