The study found that transportation via an emergency vehicle has decreased by 7 percent in cities where the rideshare apps are available.

The Doctors note that in many emergency situations, emergency professionals provide a slew of important services, whether it is providing oxygen, fluids, or medications. They also note that during an emergency, your driver will not be equipped to handle the situation.
They say that if you have a non-emergency injury, like a sprained ankle, for example, could be a time to use a rideshare service. They also stress that if your emergency is life-threatening or is something where you considered calling 911, to call an ambulance.
