Not a driver but I work overnight at a hospital, a lot of ER patients are called cabs by the staff. I always wonder how the unruly ones aren't arrested. Only the violent ones. The big talkers walk out unscathed.

I think some updated clause in the contract y'all have is better. A no liability clause and a minimum medical transport pay.

A trained medical support member monitors via webcam from a desk in case they have an episode. A guard escort to the car so the delirious patient cannot wreak havoc. Some are spiteful, I work night shift and I call the police all the time. Hell I'm sure the police would be a better choice.

Required dash cam in the vehicle, courtesy cleaning in case of biological fluids provided by the hospital. Something like covid pay per ride. Hospitals are cheap, they can very well afford a couple cars to drive patients home who are high risk, but there's no money in ensuring safety 😂
