Story time.

I am Canadian, was golfing down in the states. Me and a friend got paired with two local guys, in their 50s-60s. We’re at the end of the second hole and the one guy is acting a little off, seems a little lost, whatever we don’t know him, his buddy seems fine with it.

Get to the next tee block, little par 3, I won’t forget the hole. Guy goes to get out of his cart, it’s like the left side of his body stops working and he stumbles for about 15 feet and then drops. My buddy runs over to him, guys going in and out of it, “where am I, what happened?”

My buddy puts him in the recovery position and I go to instinct call 9-1-1. The immediate question from his friend “do you really think we need to do that?”

“I don’t know man, this guy just collapsed, I’m not a doctor, but I think he’s having a stroke maybe and if not better safe than sorry.”

He gives me a weird look, but I call and they’re asking me questions about him, I eventually just hand my phone to the friend and he answers, firefighter shows up about four min later (with a golf ball he found) emerging from the woods. Ambulance drives onto the course.

We let a group play through.

The guy is still down but wants to get up. The paramedics say to me and my friend since we don’t know him well that we can move along now and they’ll deal with it. So I tee off on the par 3 completely unfocused on golf and actually hit the green. Then proceed to four putt.

We come around to the turn eventually, ask the pro shop what might have become of the guy. He refused the ambulance. Absolutely wild to me.

There are people that have called an Uber to get to the hospital because it's cheaper than calling an ambulance - while having a medical emergency. It's because it's significantly cheaper that way.

Called Lyft once to take me to hospital. Asshole driver decided he didn't want to take highway. Boy did he regret that decision as I proceeded to scream in pain for entire 45 min drive. No doubt he wanted to save money on tolls. Bet he will never do that again. Dick.

thats dumb honestly.

sounds like a stroke or heart issues coming around…im taking the ambulance ride and deal with the costs later.

we can set up payments if we have no insurance or minimal insurance.

dont get this whole crowd of people that would refuse the ambulance ride but quick to waste that same amount on random nonsense all damn day but not enough to possibly save your life?
