    I started having double vision (and have a history of seizures). I drove myself to the Urgent Care, who told me to drive to the ER, who let a medical student look at me for fifteen minutes, and then sent me home (I drove back).

    At least it was only a few hundred dollars wasted, instead of a few thousand with the ambulance.

      Vision problems? History of seizures? We must be neighbors because you just described, what I assume, is afflicting nearly all the drivers in my area

        The meds I’m on control them (although I’ve basically got no information from doctors on why I had them/what could be done to prevent them in the future - medical care here is not great). I’d rather not drive, but there is no public transport where I live and I need to hold down a job.
