Yeah another more recent thing was when I was at work and a local unhoused guy was buying some food, and began to have a major seizure. I accompanied him out to the bus stop outside the store and sat with him watching his convulsions get stronger, until I was sitting on the sidewalk after he started to slip off the bench and just did what I could to make sure he didn't smack his head on the pavement.
I asked if he wanted me to call him an ambulance and he managed to get out the words "can't afford". So I sat, and I waited, and I made sure it had passed and that he was safe for the moment before I had to go back inside.

In the future, you generally only need to pay for the ambulance if they take you somewhere. It is usually gonna be helpful to have a paramedic assist you even if getting to the hospital is going to be an issue.
