Most recently, the man tried the ruse after ordering a seafood paella and two whiskeys at a restaurant in Spain, according to local news outlets, citing police.

      Must be one expensive meal to be 1/20th the cost of an American ambulance.

        $50 vs $1000, rough approximations

          My last ambulance ride was $3,400. After insurance I was still on the hook for 1,700 iirc

      The exact ratio depends entirely on the your personal limit for when you see a bill and say “Yup, definitely heart attack worthy”
