 I almost had the same thing happen to me when I rode out with Tulsa.
The guy with seizures got into the drivers side of the running ambulance
and said he wanted to go home so he could go to sleep. It was touch and
go for a few seconds there but he came around and after he was checked
out in the BACK of the ambulance he went inside to sleep.
