VOIP: Avoid using VOIP to call an ambulance. It takes too long for a computer to boot, start an internet connection, and execute the VOIP program. You may be unconscious, or unable to see, hear, or to speak by the time the phone call can be made.   kellyjones00 (593)

Calling for help: Don't be embarrassed to call an ambulance for yourself in an emergency. What is an emergency? It is usually a combination of severe pain, dizziness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, fever, and/or unconsciousness.   kellyjones00 (593)

Information on calling an ambulance: Emergency services will first want a clear street address in relation to the rest of the country. Then to know what is wrong (signs and symptoms), name of the caller and ill person, and a phone number. And then, the location of the ill person, in relation to the street address (e.g. which room? Is it locked?)   kellyjones00 (593)

Going to hospital as an inpatient: Take your wallet with various ID cards and some money, mobile phone, spare clothes, and diary (including details of your medical history and contacts like doctor, next of kin, and so on). A bottle of water and a book are handy, because you may need to drink a lot of water for tests, and will often be waiting. Button-front loose shirts and trousers are ideal, allowing staff easy access to test your blood pressure, take blood samples, apply sensors, and scan parts of your body.   kellyjones00 (593)
