If you think you "need" asprin while on a ride, sorry buddy, but you will need ER treatment and something different than asprin/ASA. Sad, but that is the real world :-(
Right, 911 is the first thing if you think you're having a heart attack. Then they say to chew a couple aspirin while you're waiting for the ambulance.
When I had a heart attack, I drove myself to the hospital. I did take a couple aspirin first, at least. Then they gave me more aspirin in the ER, plus the clot busting drug that's like aspirin times 1000.
