Take her to a payphone and anonymously call 911 then take off. Tell Marcellus that she didn't answer the door when he went to pick her up or better yet they went out and he dropped her off at home and that was the last that he saw of her.

Vincent would have to undergo some pretty intense questioning. I would not want to face a POed Marsellus in that situation. He seemed like a guy who was pretty adept at smelling BS.
Vincent probably made the best decision out of a list of very bad choices. In doing what he did, even if she dies, he at least made an honest effort to save her life. He'd have at least a slim chance of surviving. -

Vincent seems to be an old friend but even so, Marsellus would have subjected him to some close questioning, and the true story might well have come out, resulting in anything between "grease spot" and "Zed's dead" status for Vincent. If M is feeling merciful, Vincent might die quickly.
When Butch fails to take the dive, M orders his hoods to take in Butch's coach for questioning even though he probably knew nothing about Butch's plans. His coach was in for a rough time, and I don't think his wife ODing is just going to be shrugged off by Marsellus. V probably handled the situation about as well as he could.

Thank you for all of your answers, maybe Vincent could have driven her to the ER and left her right outside of the main entrance to the ER section of the hospital, then one of the nurses, doctors or orderlies could walk outside to smoke a cigarette or an ambulance could arrive with someone else and just notice her lying there, take her inside and save her life.
Vincent could just tell Marsellous that he never saw her at the house and have the hospital contact her husband later on, that would save her life and get Vincent out of the mess, but Mr. Wallace might get into trouble. -

Mia would tell him and he was on camera at their house. This was also after 1am. If Vega hadn't shown up, her hubby would have known. Mia would have called him and said that he never showed up.
And Wallace isn't stupid. Too many coincidences. Vincent just so happens to defy an order from his boss by not showing up or arriving at the house and not calling to say that his wife was missing?
There's no way that Vincent could have come up with a believable story. Not to mention the fact that we would have missed all those comedic gems.
"Prank caller, prank caller"
"I gotta stab her 3 times?"
"The day that I bring an od-ing bitch over to your house, then I give her the shot"
"That was f##king trippy"
"If it's so important than why don't you keep it with the shot?"
I could go on and on. Just another hilarious scene in this movie.
We would have missed out on all that if he had taken her to the hospital. -

I think he felt that Lance could help him without the incident getting back to Marcellus. He would've ordered Vincent's death if Mia had died. If he took her to the hospital, Marcellus would've found out about it.
If Lance refused to help Vincent, Vincent probably would've told Marcellus about Lance not helping him and Marcellus would've killed him too. -

In the Scottish film
Trainspotting
, one character ODs or has a bad trip while visiting a drug dealer. The drug dealer phones a taxi, puts the ODing character out on the street, loads him into the cab when it arrives and the taxi driver drives the character to Accident and Emergency of the nearest hospital, after first taking some money from the ODing character's breast pocket for the fare (left there by the drug dealer). It is treated as almost a routine way to deal with an OD. But perhaps Vincent felt he had no such option with a leading hood's wife.

Unless you are prepared to have Mia go to jail and royally piss off her husband, your boss, none of these are good solutions. remember, the movie takes place in mid 90s California and laws were different back then. That's what Lance means by bite the bullet and get a lawyer. Police were notified on OD cases back then by the laws of most states.
Probably a really bad idea to screw up the one easy job you have over the weekend when your Boss' wife is on the line. -

Well yes, the
Trainspotting
solution would not work here. Different society, different laws.
Vincent's character walks a tightrope in this film between charisma and dumbness. Still, the scene where he deals with the OD was one of the best film scenes of the 1990s.
