BeforeYou BeforeYou F Fall all Call Call C Call all
Emergency response professionals hear patients explain while they weren’t feeling “quite right”; they didn’t want to call 911 dismissing weakness as simple fatigue or something not serious enough for an ambulance. When these calls finally come through, it’s often as a result of collapse or other more serious medical emergencies.
Medical professionals, Paramedics and EMTs would like to assure everyone to listen to their body’s signs. Don’t wait until something becomes more serious.
“That’s what we’re here for,” each emphasizes.
Adding, “Call 911 BEFORE you fall and get the care you need.
