I got jumped and robbed a couple years back by a group of three dudes. Right after I cashed my check on my way to get a money order to pay rent. I had $1300 in my pocket... An old lady saw it happen and started hollering and yelling then called the cops for me while I was unconscious. I woke up in an ambulance headed to a hospital two towns over. Not even the closest hospital. The cop at the hospital told me to file a report and all medical fees will be waved. I told the receptionist at the hospital I am a victim of a crime, she sent me on my way. I called to to file the report and something happened where the officer who gave me the claim number didn't submit his paper work so I got stuck with the hospital bill. 1 MRI scan, 1 Vicodin, 1 Dramamine, 1 ambulance ride. Total? $4,500. The worst part about the whole thing? The fact that my neighbors in the apartment complex were the ones who jumped me, the manager of the property told me I still need to come up with the money or face eviction. I told them who it was, they didn't want to believe me... Needless to say I don't live in that place, city or county anymore

Just reminds me of when homer became an ambulance driver
"so where are you going?"
"To the hospital"
"huh sure are a lot of people going there today"

What would an ambulance ride cost (presumably depends on injury, but rough ballpark)?
