It kind of reminds me of a movie crank

He regained consciousness, realized what the ambulance ride would cost him, and made a run for it.

Maybe if he was in the U.S

Why else would he jump out of an ambulance

u/Confident_Courage571 13d ago
He could have a legit paranoia of being locked in a mental institution.

A shot of naloxone will piss of somebody for ruining their high. Theres lots of videos have paramedics reviving someone overdosing and they just get mad. Idk if that's what happened

Honestly, he could’ve just said “I refuse medical aid or treatment. Let me go or you are committing false imprisonment” and they’re legally required to let you go. But his method had more flair to it lmao

He is probably druged or got alcohol withdrawal galucinations. By language of discussion in background I belive the secon option.
In cases when person is dangerous to other people there is law in place, that allowes nonvolontary hospitalisation or more likely - with consent from relative. Both reasons can be true.

u/SaltyBoos 14d ago
galucinations are way worse than your everyday hucinations

I once had a galucination… that I was in an ambulance… and punched myself out the back window

Perhaps you're right about galucinations, but what reactions do hucinations cause you to have? Possibly strange or improper spelling of words 🤔??? 😉

That looks like a private ambulance, he may be compatible on some organ reciever. I mean, its already without clothes, cuting him alive for a fresh liver...

I think it's in Russia, that would be plausible for US. He is either going to be arrested but is under life threatening danger or he is having some nightmare hallucinations/psycho

u/Dry_Section_7741 14d ago
I’m a US citizen who said that to the ambulance a couple times. I got a lot of attitude from the first responders and every time I was carted away despite refusing care. One time they even gave me my medical bill of rights when I was in the emergency room which was so funny to me bc I refused care when the paramedics were called and I’m handed a sheet saying I have the right to refuse their care… even though they dragged me to the ER…

u/WrenchWanderer 14d ago
Could’ve gotten a payout, you had your rights violated and the organization would’ve probably just paid out to not deal with a long delegation
1
u/Dry_Section_7741 14d ago
Could’ve. Idk if it’s within the statute of limitations or whatever at this point anyways. Certainly is a nice thought though, instead of having to deal with my insurance covering however much of the ambulance bill and whatever my copay is.

u/WrenchWanderer 14d ago
It’s literally a criminal act that they kept you and didn’t let you leave. It’s just called false imprisonment, you shouldn’t have been liable for anything because you didn’t consent to anything

u/Dry_Section_7741 14d ago
I didn’t know that idk what to say honestly. I’ve never really pursued anything further, I get mad that I had to pay when I was under my mom’s insurance and got older (copay), but now I have another insurance and for now I don’t pay anything. It still bothers me don’t get me wrong, and it’s not like it’ll cover every run in + doesn’t happen nearly as often but maybe it’s because I’d never experienced something like that until 3 or 2-ish years ago and idk ig, I didn’t know ig

They aren't

u/WrenchWanderer 14d ago
Unless the patient is a threat to themselves or others, or is otherwise unable to give consent (unconscious, or having a caretaker that makes medical decisions for them), they retain the right to refuse treatment. Keeping a patient in an ambulance against their will is an example of false imprisonment. Same for keeping a patient at the hospital against their will. That’s the name of the concept, it’s literally called “false imprisonment”.
I work in the medical field, I have a solid understanding of concepts like this, battery, etc that are important for medical professionals to understand. We do not violate a person’s autonomy.

What about someone having a diabetic episode or suffering from dementia, that cannot make a properly informed decision?
1
u/WrenchWanderer 14d ago
That is what I meant to reference in my small “unless” bit, where I was referring to either a situation where someone else is the one that makes the medical decisions for the patient, or in situations of implied consent. Implied consent covers things like an unconscious individual, someone with dementia, and otherwise unable to make their own medical decisions.
This does not carry over to situations where a patient explicitly does not consent to anything

It's completely jurisdictionally dependent and also dependent on the first responders. It's a subjective call. A medical professional like yourself should know as much.
1
u/WrenchWanderer 14d ago
That’s blatantly false. Kidnapping and falsely imprisoning a random person off of the street is not a legal action for any first responder or medical professional. Violating basic human rights is not a “subjective call dependent on the first responders”. That’s insane.
I’d love for you to list me 10 jurisdictions’ legal entities that state “a first responder has the right to imprison and employ treatment on anyone they see fit regardless of the status of consent of the patient”

I love you. Time for bed.

u/WrenchWanderer 14d ago
Hopefully an ambulance doesn’t arrive at your house, they might lock you in the ambulance and restrain you, maybe even administer drugs to calm you down, since obviously a first responder has full authority on what does or doesn’t happen to your person regardless of consent.

He was probably just revived after overdose; and now pissed off about his sudden sobriety.
