To what extent do you consider something as an emergency??

So you don't consider an Active MI and Emergency.....They don't bleed. How about Pulmonary Edema..........They don't bleed. How about decapitation....they bleed severely, but is it an emergency.

As a law enforcement officer almost everything is an emergency.everything from passing out to small lacerations, not being able to breathe well and excessive pain.If I ask a perp on a scale from one to ten what they feel and they say at least six........they will be taken to the medical floor and sometimes to the hospital.

It just depends on the situation do I call it an emergency. I mean if I saw my kid get knocked down when she is standing behind a swing (it actually happened too), normally I wouldnt call that an emergency except after 5 hrs she starts screaming because she cant move because she is in too much pain (broken collar bone), I would rush her to the hospital. If it was a skinned knee, just a kiss and a band aid usually does the trick.
