Signs of a Medical Emergency
When should you go to the emergency room? Some emergencies are obvious,
like serious injuries or choking. Others can be more subtle. If you are
in doubt, call 911 and, as calmly and clearly as possible, tell them what’s
wrong so that the operator can assist you.
Warning signs of a medical emergency include:
Severe chest pain
Sudden feelings of dizziness and disorientation
Severe abdominal pain
Nonstop bleeding
Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
Coughing up blood
Slurred speech
Suicidal thoughts
Difficulty breathing
Fainting
If you or someone near you is experiencing any of the above symptoms, call
911 immediately. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and
if you are concerned that you are experiencing an emergency then you should
seek medical care as soon as possible.
What Is Urgent Care?
Sometimes, people have medical problems that cannot wait but do not qualify
as emergencies. In these situations, the
Urgent Care Centercan provide the care you need. The Urgent Care Department provides same-day
care for minor injuries, illnesses, and other medical emergencies. No
appointments are needed.
It is important to note that urgent care is not emergency care. They are
not equipped to provide treatment for life-threatening situations. However,
it is a valuable resource when you have pressing medical problems.
