A patient taken by a private ambulance in Ohio is reported to have been abandoned by the driver, who then called an Uber and went home. In accounts provided to police or emergency communications, the patient says the driver told her he was “done driving” and that she would need to find another way to get to the hospital.
Multiple outlets say the patient was being transported for medical care related to chest pain and that the destination was Cleveland Clinic. One report describes the driver as getting lost on the way and leaving the patient near a gas station, after which the patient was ultimately helped by Cleveland EMS. Another account emphasizes the sequence of the driver losing direction, deciding to stop for the day, and arranging a ride via Uber.
While the stories largely align on the core incident, they differ in emphasis: some foreground the dramatic 911-style claim that the driver left, while others focus on the logistics of getting lost, the hospital destination, or the specific location where the patient was left.
