True, not everyone has access to a car but the ones that do should get in them to be driven by husband, boyfriend, mother, father, friend, neighbour to hospital unless there are body parts hanging out of their vagina in which case it is different.

Ambulances should only be used in a severe emergency, as Lettie said. Some women are totally abusing the ambulance service and should be fined for doing so in my opinion.
