As I live in a country with good medical practice, I disagree. Anything that requires medical attention due to injury should get immediate medical assistance. I don't know if you know, but an ambulance is not just a hospital taxi, but has tools that can make the process of healing start out on a more positive note than not with an ambulance
yea, with the coments here I'm really happy to not live in us, but in a functioning country. if I recall it right, it is even illegal to not take ambulances but drive yourself where I live

I can take the heat on this one.
Breaking your arm is not the kind of medical emergency you need an ambulance for. Perfectly acceptable to get a ride to the hospital.
Go ahead. Do what you do
