Uber to the Emergency Room

We're having Lollapalooza in Chicago the next 4 days...

What should be policy or opinion on taking an unconscious rider (that is riding with friends) to a hotel or to the emergency room?

Refuse and tell them to dial 911?
Act as the ambulance and get them to a hospital ER?

There are multitudes of liability I would guess transporting someone with immediate medical needs.

The hospital ER's here already have done their drills, this is the busiest time of the year for alcohol/drug overdoses.

Thanks! Drive safe.

You call 911 simply to cover your hindquarters. People love to sue and if someone should die you can bet they're going to claim the person died because the Uber/Lyft driver refused to take them to the ER
