I was going to blast you for your post, but I see others have done so...
Having recognized my father was having a stroke, I put him in the car and drove him to the ER. Way faster even though the fire station was close. I would have passed the EMT’s on the way to the house, and I would have already been half way to the hospital at the point I would have passed them.
So I didn’t bother calling them.
I’m glad you were faster than the ambulance - but you wouldn’t have been if you were detained by the police for going thru red lights and/or speeding.
That would be a different story.
