When should you call 911 instead of going to Student Health or driving to the ER? Ask yourself the following questions:
* Is the victim's condition life-threatening?
* Could the victim's condition worsen and become life threatening on the way to the hospital?
* Could moving the victim cause further injury?
* Does the victim need the skills or equipment of Paramedics or EMTs?
If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes" OR IF YOU ARE UNSURE, it is best to call EMS, even if you might be able to get to the hospital
faster driving than by going in an ambulance.
