[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I could get to the ER faster than it would take for the ambulance to get to our house. SO I'd pretty much always drive.[/quote] One question, though, is once you arrive at the ER--will you be triaged faster and treated faster having arrived on a stretcher by ambulance. usually, yes.[/quote] Not only that, but in some cases, it's more important to give first aid immediately, and it's worth waiting for EMT. If the other person is bleeding, chocking, or in cardiac arrest, they could die in a 3- minute ride to the ER; but could be saved if you follow 911's directions, stay put and give first aid until EMT arrive.[/quote]
