Maybe an ambulance is slower than a Lyft. What's definitely faster than a Lyft is: a car that's already on-site, driven by a co-worker tasked to take you to the hospital.

Can we agree that, even if an ambulance isn't the best choice, it's amazingly callous to make a person with a severed finger sit around and wait for a fucking taxi rather than pull someone else off the line?



I don't think anyone was arguing against what is likely the fastest option (someone already on-site driving), it's however possible that once being assessed but before being ready to go, a vehicle could be ready to transport them immediately - whether that is someone from on-site or a Lyft et al that was ordered.
