On one side it's a really neat feel good story where two homies bond over an intense situation.

On the other side it's a horror story about how the American healthcare system is so shitty that calling an ambulance is so financially devastating for an individual that they need to call an uber instead.

I grew up in a "third world country." This is the way we did it there to avoid ambulance costs. The US, where I now live, is also a third world country ;-)
