so there’s a couple of things first and
0:06
foremost to me I think is whenever
0:09
possible you want to have somebody there
0:12
with you in the emergency room and
0:14
there’s two reasons for that one because
0:16
you may not be in a condition to give a
0:18
history you want somebody that can give
0:20
them information about you what your
0:22
background is medications allergies and
0:25
secondly you want someone that can
0:27
listen to what they’re saying so they
0:29
can communicate at to you what they’re
0:31
recommending and what they think you
0:33
need the other thing is and and this is
0:35
if you’ve got a real serious issue is
0:38
it’s always better if you’ve got a real
0:40
serious condition if you wind up calling
0:42
911 for yourself number one when they
0:45
get you to the hospital they’re more
0:47
likely to treat you faster at least
0:49
they’re going to evaluate you faster do
0:51
a triage faster than if you drive
0:53
yourself there and secondly if it’s a
0:55
serious condition the paramedics will be
0:58
able to treat you on the way to the
1:00
Hospital which is often beneficial and
1:02
it’s helpful to patients before they
1:03
ever get there those to me are the two
1:06
biggest things you can do to try to
1:08
protect yourself with regard to the
1:09
emergency room
