Inside Tesla’s factory, a medical clinic designed to ignore injured workers

Neck and back injuries are a good reason to call an ambulance. The original quote refers not just to life but "life or limb". I suspect any reasonable person would extend that to "paralysis". Back and neck injuries often render a person immobile (as you say, for risk of further injury).

Your anger seems grossly misplaced and based on a deliberate misreading or uncharitable reading.

See my other replies, Tesla denied ambulance service to man with a severe back injury, unable to walk.

Are you really willing to believe that if the medical doctor thought and ambulance was required for the supposed injury, they will choose to have someone die on their watch, with full legal liability for the death. What do you think the doctor has to gain by arranging other no ambulance medical transport here.

The doctor was taking a calculated risk that whatever care the worker didn't get, as a result of taking a ride share instead of an ambulance, wouldn't kill him. Keeps Tesla's ambulance costs and trip numbers down.
