12.01.2022 When should you call for an ambulance? In the past, some patients have called Triple Zero (000) for conditions such as sore throats, boils, sunburns and even ...a broken nail. Many people believe they will be seen sooner if they are taken to hospital by ambulance. This is a common misconception. All patients are treated according to their medical needs, whether they arrive by ambulance or not. It is important to recognise that ambulances are available for medical emergencies. Calling an ambulance for non-urgent conditions could cost someone their life. It is recommended that individuals should call Triple Zero (000) and request an ambulance in the following situations. Note: If you are unsure about whether a person requires an ambulance, it is better to call Triple Zero (000). chest pain or chest tightness sudden onset of weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg breathing difficulties unconsciousness uncontrollable bleeding a sudden collapse or unexplained fall unexplained fitting in adults injury from a major car accident a fall from a great height serious assault, including stabbing or shooting severe burns, particularly in young children infants who are fitting or have an ongoing fever. In a medical emergency, it is important that you do not drive yourself or another person to hospital as you may endanger your life, the patient's life or members of the public. Not only are you unable to concentrate on driving but moving some patients can make the situation worse. In a medical emergency, Communication Officers can provide medical advice and paramedics can commence essential life-saving treatment at the scene, as well as en route to hospital, rather than beginning treatment at the hospital. For when it's urgent, but not an emergency, you can always visit one of our Urgent Care centres.
