Yeah that’s reasonable. A reasonable person could see how that could look like something life threatening until examined by a health care provider.
Knee pain you’ve had for a month? Had a panic attack yesterday? Pain because you just had surgery and don’t want to take your pain medications? This is more what I’m talking about
Diarrhea for a week. Didn’t think he needs to see a GP but today he felt it does not get better and he needs to see someone now.
Diarrhea and didn’t feel good. Yeah. That’s it.
Had a fall three days ago. Now the elbow hurts. Does not want to go to the GP/ED,but now the daughter has arrived and basically forced the patient.
Fall. Zero injuries. But the nursing home wanted to get
Another fall yesterday. Zero pain when not moving, minimal pain in slight bruise.
To be fair we had a massive multi vehicle (5 cars) accident as the last call (5min before the end of our shift) that required helicopter backup and everything (severe brain, spine, thorax and abdo trauma). But still…
Currently working on one. Shifts nearly over. Am a CritCare certified provider.
Didn’t see a single remotely sick patient today even though we ran calls back to back for most of the day.
I’ve been one of those calls. Woke up with chest pain and pain in my left upper arm. Called 911.
Diagnosis was heartburn+slept wrong.
Nah, that’s seriously sick. Would absolutely be a warranted call for me.
