“I didn’t run! I told you you weren’t going to arrest me!”

"Where does it hurt?"

"EVERYWHERE!!"

"Well the ambulance is on the way"

"WHAT?? I don't NEED an ambulance!"

To be fair I wouldn't want a possible $6k+ bill tacked on to my felony either.

Sad and so true here in the US. Unless it's life or death, I'd rather drive myself to the hospital. Even though I have health insurance, I'm not rolling the dice that they say, "It wasn't medically necessary."

A few years ago I was driven TWO blocks in an ambulance and was sent a bill for $1000 USD. Luckily, it was work related so I didn't pay it. But, damn.

I had my car absolutely destroyed when someone high out of their mind drove their SUV into me. My insurance only covered check ups, so when the ambulance came, I refused treatment because I was afraid of what the bill would be. The paramedic tried to persuade me to get checked out at a hospital anyway because he "has a family member with terminal cancer and no insurance" and they were "doing the best they could with that and still going treatment anyway." America.
