Would You Pay For A Random Person On The Internet If They Had A Medical Emergency?

No because statistics seem to be "most people are rotten" so i don't want to help rotten people. Also... 2, insurance usualy pays for REAL stuff so it is probably a scam not for health. Most importantly, 3, i believe in klingon philosophy, for "most illnesses that strong people survive", don’t "help" weak using vaccine or antibiotic. This formula allows exceptions for "easing pain and faster healing for stuff not deadly," as well as "vaccine for stuff that kill even strong," while letting the weak die for "survival of the fittest" which in this case is the "Medical Emergency".

Lol, not a chance. Especially not in the US.

A medical emergency can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars, because of our insanely shitty healthcare system. That could potentially bankrupt someone. I don't care how good of a person you are; nobody would do that, because it's financially impossible for 95% of people.

I'm sorry, they're having an emergency but they have time to ask random people for money? "Can you hold the ambulance, I think I've got a live one here!"

Any emergency room will treat them for free, then they have to pay for it later. Then they can go ask for money from people they know, or use Go Fund Me if they want to ask for money from random people.

If they can't pay, usually the state or federal government will take care of the hospital.

I used to belong to a lot of dog forums. We would all pitch in if a dog needed emergency care. But even from then to now the internet has changed. We knew each other for years even in large mass. Watched each others dogs grow up in generations. And people paid people back.

As for people.. eh. Prob not. There are ER's for that.

[Flower7]

The dog forum where you all know each others dogs is such a cute idea. It sounds very helpful for vet care too.

[dustybiker2]

@Flower7 I trained service dogs for the disabled for a couple of decades. Only 8% of the dog population has what it takes, and illness or medical issues often strikes before the dogs finish the extensive training. I had 8 of those dogs whom I put a lot of work into all first displayed genetic conditions at just over a year of age. So their professional potential was over. It's a hard job. Emotionally too.

[Flower7]

Yes because I’m sure you get very attached to them.

[dustybiker2]

@Flower7 I kept the ones that retired early. You just hoped they worked out.

@anon1903

No, absolutely not... It could, and quite probably would be, the biggest con imaginable.

[RavVid]

I have helped people financially but am only willing to do so if it is genuine. A random on line I would have no idea of them being genuine.

A medical emergency doesn't apply in my country as there is free health care.

[itsannalee]

Nope, I don’t really care about strangers conditions.

[Kaneki05]

A random person? No who would? Gonna get scammed

[jazzy34]

Hmm, I'd need more information to make sure it's legit. Scammers make up all sorts of crazy things (including an "emergency") to get people's money.

[Nikki1989]

I donate money for worthwhile causes all the time, but this is not one of those situations.

[Flower7]

Depends on what the emergency was. I have donated to Go-Fund-Mes for things like that.

[David318578]

Is the "medical emergency" getting pregnant? Because im not sure why this is a sexuality question

[Agape93]

Fuck no. Even if I could know 100% it was legit, they're not in my pack.

*your (typo's, sigh)

[Alex-Snow]

If I had some more money then maybe. But I am a broke college student. I have send some money to some Go Fund Me incidents.

[es20490446e]

No. I think Americans shall realize what are they voting for. Death.

[UpaRupa]

No, people only look out for theirs and random internet person is not one of theirs.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Or charitable donations that are to legitimate charities and if country applicable tax law tax deductible or not 🙃😆

[UpaRupa]

@mysteriousNicholas not sure i fully follow what your saying but id say that would be in the "theirs" group, people never donate anything to a cause they don't care about. If you look at how much legitimate charities get in compared to spending in other groups. say people buying their morning coffee. it really shows priorities.

[nocturnalbreed]

Nope, unless it does not sound like scam I might consider it when I have lofty amount of money

[Anonymous]

I would not unless they were a very good friend

[Anonymous]

No, because there are lots of scammers online.

[RedInnocent69]

Um, no. Fishing for handouts is, just no

[eagle1951]

no way in H.

[shortster]

Nope

[TallAnon]

Nope

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No..
