I am an old man and have been an ambulance driver for many years, but this was the first time I had ever experienced something like this! I had a seriously injured child in the ambulance, whose life was hanging in the balance. Every minute lost on the road could cost him his life.
Suddenly, I was in a traffic jam. All the cars were moving aside to let me pass, but one expensive SUV refused to do so. Drivers near it tried to get it to move aside, and I honked at it, but the driver refused. Unable to stand it, I got out of the ambulance and ran up to the driver of the SUV. He was a rich and arrogant man, but I didn’t care who he was. I started demanding he give way to my ambulance.
Me: “Sir, please move! I have a kid in the back who needs urgent care!”
Man: “No, you’re lying. But even if you’re not, taking him to the doctor won’t do any good. I’m not moving.”
Me: “Are you serious, man?”
Man: “Yeah. I won’t move!”
Me: “This is illegal!”
Man: “Sue me. Or call the cops.”
Me: “I hope no one you love is ever in this boy’s shoes.”
I had no idea how true my words were. It turns out that the kid in critical condition was this rich man’s son. And the rich man didn’t know about it. Yet.
