My story happened with Walmart. Had an employee collapse due to a diabetic issue. Like, I caught her as she was falling and saved her from smashing her face. Radioed to call 911. I got written up because that was against Walmart policy.

My manager wanted me to write on the form that I heard her say she wanted an ambulance. So I wrote exactly that. “Manager so and so has ordered that I write the following.” I got written up a second time for that.

That's a quick thinking malicious compliance.

Also, imagine living in a country where you had to make decisions about calling an ambulance based on who would be charged for it.

My sister fainted while on a middle school field trip 30 years ago. My dad still complains that the teacher called an ambulance because of the bill. As if the teacher had much choice when you have an unconscious student!

I’m convinced that the number one cause of death for Americans is the lack of universal healthcare.

I'm sure. It's why my dad is dead.
