I grew up in a remote area. Ambulance if called took 45 minutes....

My aunt was an RN & she drove herself to the ER when she was in atrial flutter. She too tried to convert herself the whole 45 minutes there!

It included a snowball dropped in her coat hood to the neck....

And feel like an idiot.
