Do I Need Emergency Services?
Situations which usually require emergency services include:
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing that is not rapidly improving
- Sudden numbness, weakness, disorientation or difficulty speaking
- Sudden severe headaches (with no prior history of migraines)
- Severe bodily injury accompanied by uncontrollable bleeding
Remember, in an emergency room
patients are triaged according to the severity of their situations, not on
a first-come, first-served basis. Patients who require the most immediate
services are treated first.
