Ever been taken to the hospital in the back of an ambulance?

I overdosed on pills and had a few seizures, and was taken to the hospital.

Also hurt my neck skiing once..

Yes, twice.

The first time was in 1989, when I had a seizure at college. The second was in 1998, when I passed out from the flu.

Mine was a helicopter. I was injured in a shooting accident in 1983. I still have the scars on my legs and torso from the birdshot pellets and the surgery. One of the pellets went into my heart, and it's still there. There's also one on the back of my right leg where you can feel it just under the skin. Now I live just a short walk away from a point on a hill where I can see the helipad and entrance doors where they wheeled me in off the helicopter.

Ambulances have unfortunately been one of the actors in the ongoing drama in my life w/AS! Severe meltdowns lead my mom w/no choice but to call police who then called the ambulance. Sometimes, for extra flair, the fire-engine showed up. We should have sold tickets to recoup the cost. I do have Medicare. Once, I was strapped to a back-board. I've had the O2, blood-pressure, restraints, sedation (which had the opposite reaction with me). 3 years ago, when I was able to temporarily come out of my phobias and come out of the house, my mother began to bleed out her mouth and I had to call the ambulance. I rode up front w/the driver. This was a good trip in a way, because I was able to take charge and help my mother instead of it always being the other way around. Also, my mother was hospitalized, treated by a good doctor and came home in less than a week. I'm always fascinated with all the things they have in the bins back there. I once had to stop myself from going through them. I can always wish I don't have to ride in one again. Last time was in March. It was a gross over-reaction on my mom's part and really could have been avoided.

Never been in hospital let alone in an ambulance. I say I'm overdue

I had an 8-minute seizure which prompted my mom to scream like a banshee.
My sister called the ambulance which is where I woke up in.
I was very tempted to freak out & beat up
the paramedic who was with me,
but the ambulance was in traffic,
so I couldn't do anything.
My mom still thinks I did it on purpose.

After being dismissed from an all high-school play,
I walked to the big bookstore nearby.

After an hour there, I left & witnessed
a paramedic telling a man he had a seizure.

I stood there watching them lifting him onto
the gurney & into the waiting ambulance.

Been in the back of an ambulance for myself two or three times. Been in the back of a ambulance as a passenger many times with my partner. Mine were for OD's on various meds.
I am in the UK so all treatment etc is free

Yeah.

Yes, twice. And both times were for passing out. The first time was when I was seventeen and I passed out when I was riding my bike. And the second time was not too long after I turned eighteen, when I passed out in the snow.
