serious situation: stuck between a rock and a hard place

[bmwguy25]

Ok scenario is, having drinks with a good and very stubborn friend. All the sudden while standing bends over and starts garbling words and falls over. WEll goes on for a few minutes and things are all out of whack. Get him to the car and get him home. After thinking about it he's displaying stroke (tia) like symptoms but refuses to go to the er. I contact a friend who's a md he says the same thing and try to get him to go. Well he wont and will basically be my worst enemy if i turn him in to his family. MD friend recommends if he wont go just walk away. Nothing I can do but shoot............ I feel the risk is worth losing a friend. Am I wrong? I feel totally jacked up and just numb...... What would you do?
oh and crap my 666th post......

Your friend needs immediate medical attention. Worry about the other stuff later.

I agree with this. Sometimes being a true friend means pissing them off.

Call an ambulance NOW!

Take him to the ER. Let him tell them that.

Strokes kill. I lost a good friend to one a couple of weeks ago.

Get some aspirin in him ASAP. Not Tylenol or Motrin. Aspirin....and get him medical attention

drag his fat ### to the car and take him to the er , if you can't move him let the EMT's do it ,that's what they get paid for.

Tell him to crunch it twice before he swallows it.

Mark the time symptoms first appeared too. There are certain meds they can administer within a certain timeframe of onset. Screw worrying about feelings....ACT. NOW!

Call 911 and let HIM tell the paramedics no, if he's beyond stating his own refusal, they'll take him anyway. OR, take him to the ER and let HIM deny help, they'll quickley access what's up and determine if he's beyond giving consent. Time is important here.
