First off, you absolutely did the right thing by calling the ambulance.
Secondly, the ones in here taking the bad road and saying to just let him die next time need to back off and think before saying such stupid and selfish shit.
Having married and lived with someone who has had serious health issues the entire time we've been together, I understand a bit of whats going on, at least more than the hardass types in this topic.
Your friend, having had a stroke, could indeed by having mental process issues through no fault of his own. He could also be having serious emotional security issues. By the sounds of it, he is youngish and probably is very insecure about his health and his life at this point which could prompt him to be totally illogical and irrational about how to deal with further life threatening health issues.
You have two ways of dealing with your friends current state and that's either to follow the advice of those who say to leave him alone and let him die next time, or you can support him emotionally by letting him vent a bit, then letting him understand that you'll do what's necessary to keep him alive. After that, it's his choice to make.
