Friend stated she was “too invested in her tv show” to take me to the er

I can see ur viewpoint. Unless it changed, per the post I read that OP was in the other room at home. I also think we have varying definitions of a friend and I agree to disagree on that point. I think that there are potential complications which can arise when someone is in a medical emergency and OP wouldn’t have reached out if they didn’t think they needed help or were in an emergency. How did the friend not know that OP wasn’t about to pass out, unable to order themselves an Uber? People don’t reach out for help to go to the hospital if they don’t need it. And speaking as someone who had been in a medical situation earlier this year where I needed to go to the hospital and had no one, I can tell you the pain and what was going on was enough for me to not be able to order an Uber or Lyft on top of the fact that my blood would’ve stained a stranger’s car. Of course once OP and the friend got to the hospital then the staff could take it from there. But it was getting there that was the emergency and the “friend” was either too self absorbed to realize that they are maybe killing someone or they are just straight up evil and abusive. Because there are always potential complications and per what OP has said, OP had helped this friend when the friend was in a similar situation many times. The fact OP was in such a severe condition that they reached out at all should be informative enough for a true friend to get off their ass and help them, regardless of the “time they waste” due to the TV show they’re watching which is actually just a slap in the face to say to someone in that situation. I think a true friend would’ve helped, and I think a normal person would’ve helped even someone that they weren’t that close with. We are humans after all but this “friend” doesn’t sound human.
