    Twice.  Once when an overload of caffeine produced a huge spike in BP while I was driving. Drove to the ambulance office and was taken to ER.

    Second time was when I was attacked by a German Shepherd while delivering my mail route.  Needed some stitching up at the ER. A supervisor could have taken me, but by the time a supervisor got to the scene, neighbors had already called 911 and I was gone from there.

    Yes I have, once.

    About 4 years ago I got really sick and so I drove over to one of those insta-care clinics.  They put me on anti-biotics and said If I wasn't feeling better by the next afternoon, to come back.  Next afternoon I was feeling even worse.  They took my temperature and it was 104.  They said, "You need to get to the hospital NOW!  We'll call an ambulance."  I told them I could drive myself and they wouldn't hear of it.  They gave me 5 minutes to try to call a friend or family member, but I couldn't get hold of anyone, sooo they called an ambulance.  The ambulance people were extremely nice. I was hospitalized with pneumonia and had to spend about a week there.  Afterwards, I was on oxygen for about 2 weeks.  The whole ordeal was kind of shocking.  (So was the ambulance bill;  $2000 for an ambulance ride 5 miles up the road from the clinic.  Yikes!)
