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.

It ain't simple taking sick people like you think. Their situation could get worse as you drive. Also if something bad developed, you ain't gonna be able to just drop them off and leave. There might be paperwork, cop interview to do. You might get stuck and can't continue to drive the rest of your intended "shift".
