DoorDash is of course known for their speed and reliability
They've been reliable for me. Of course, I usually pay the extra three dollars for express service.
Quicker and cheaper than a visit to the hospital.
Regardless of healthcare
And more responsible not to drive regardless of your concern for your own well-being. I've heard stories from coworkers who have worked ED of people who didn't want to call an ambulance for their heart attack or stroke symptoms and lost control of the vehicle and plowed their car through the ED waiting area. Also one of the reasons we don't have drunk tanks anymore is cops misdiagnosing things like hypoglycemia. So if you've got the low glucose sweats & jitters it might be worth doordashing a snack.
My advice to people with recurrent chest pain that's confirmed to be anxiety is to call a friend and chat while you do some light housework or go for a walk or whatever. If it gets better with light activity it's anxiety. If it turns out you finally are actually having a heart attack, your friend can call the ambulance.
