The most terrifying part of this whole ordeal was the cab.
Yes I tried to call a cab because a cab is a whole lot less than an ambulance (which I ended up riding in anyway).
I really want to call the cab company but saying I want to "make a formal complaint" will do nothing. That's about the equivalent of asking a city cop to write up an accident report.
Somehow I managed to call this cab company to come pick me up and told them that I was extremely sick and needed to go to the hospital immediately. I said I would be outside in about 10 mins. The lady on the phone told me she was going to call 911 if we got disconnected. Ok, well at least my point got through about it being a serious matter.
Made it outside, fell over in pain 30 feet in front of the cab and couldn't stop throwing up. I watched the cab driver look at me and then speed off.
I seriously thought it was going to be fucking over right then. I was going to pass out in front of my building and who the hell knows when I would be found considering it was 5am and no one was around.
It would make me feel a lot better to know that that cabbie that who knew I needed serious help got punished for driving off.
This is where I will dial 911 next time but 911 was 3 buttons and redial was only 1. I called the cab company back in which I was scolded by the same lady for "not being outside." Not being outside my ass. Your prick, Middle Eastern driver in a van cab drove off when you knew I needed to get to the ER. Prick, Middle Eastern, and van cab would be three things I wouldn't have known had I not been right in front of it.
Even in Chicago, a cabbie would open the fucking door for you if it was obvious you needed help. Nope, not the 2nd one. I crawled to the cab, struggled with the door and was just stared at after getting inside.
Dip shit cab drivers. You were already informed I needed to go to the ER.
God damn I will not take a cab in LA again.
