Adding insult to injury

An Oregon cyclist who was struck by an ambulance that made a right turn into him — fracturing his nose and leaving him with scrapes and other injuries across his body — has filed a $997,000 lawsuit against the ambulance provider after it scooped him up, drove him to the hospital and then billed him for the service, according to the suit.

    Maybe the ambulance driver was moonlighting as an Uber driver.

    Usually ambo rates are set by the state. You ride in it, you pay $XXX. If he didn’t want to go to the hospital, he should have said so.

      I'm pretty sure he didn't want to get hit by the ambulance either.

    An Oregon cyclist...

    Probably the sight of a hemp-shorted, e-cig vaping, Starbucks-swilling, gaia-worshiping Biden/Harris fag with a man bun triggered the ambulance driver. I'll allow it.

      09:02,
      We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene Oregon.
      Although that image is cute, the vast majority of Eugene people on bicycles are dope-fiends.
      .
      Oddly, these trend-setters remove the bicycle brakes, then slow their two wheels by dragging their shoes on the asphalt.
      .
      After running out of dope, another popular fad is riding into traffic to get hit by a vehicle.
      The resultant hospital stay includes lots of meds.
      .
      A casual stroll on any path through the uni campus is paved with shortened chunks of bicycle security chain and cables, punctuated with the frequent padlock.
      Eugene dope-fiends are professionals at wealth transfer.
      .
      For decades, their intoxicant of choice was fentanyl, the manufactured opiate developed in chinese laboratories.
      Apparently, the stuff is engineered to be instantly addictive.
      One puff, and the brain craves it for the rest of your life.
      .
      Always seeking a greater break from the rigors and stresses of reality, their new intoxicant is FLAKKA.
      The symptoms are violent delirium.
      Faced with a FLAKKA user, LawEnforcementOfficials usually respond with SWAT platoons (plural).
      .
      [the chinese are not our friends]

    I will give long odds the guy was camping in the ambulance's blind spot before it turned right.

    You ride an aboolance in Oregon be prepared to take out a bank loan. I was charged $2700 for a 1/2 mile ride for my wife. Minor shit, too.
