PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — More people are calling on Uber drivers to take them to the hospital, instead of an ambulance, according to a new study by the University of Kansas.

The study looked at ambulance rates in 767 cities throughout the country.

Data reveals that calls for ambulances dropped by about seven percent.
