In the USA, it is proper etiquette to ask if the person would prefer dying before you call an ambulance (lemmy.ml)

I don't know how it is in other countries, but if you call an ambulance because you want a free ride to the hospital in Norway you get a hefty fine for wasting emergency resources. Doesn't the US have the same kind of laws stopping people from using ambulances as ubers. If not, then that's how make the ambulance free for people who need it, and really expensive for people who don't.
