wheezing, hyperventilating, nausea, anxiety, turning blue (lips, skin)
from lack of oxygen.

with mild symptoms; flu comes on quickly and can lead to pneumonia without
treatment; protect yourself against flu with a yearly flu shot.

children and adolescents; emergency-trained pediatricians diagnose and
treat all types of ailments even in children too young to communicate;
get an urgent checkup for your child who’s in severe pain, having
trouble breathing or experiencing anything unusual with their health.
-
Cuts (lacerations), wounds, bleeding – Serious wounds that won’t stop bleeding can lead to life-threatening
infections or death without fast action and proper treatment; emergency
doctors properly disinfect, clean and stitch wounds as needed; wounds
from dirty or rusty objects may require a tetanus shot.
-
Fractures, sprains, bruising – Injuries that create overlapping symptoms; even common bruising
can signal serious problems, such as a fracture, broken bone or sprain;
evaluation by a doctor assures you of the best outcomes.
-
Stroke symptoms, seizures – Impaired brain activity; strokes interrupt blood circulation that
kills brain cells; seizures triggered by excessive electrical activity
in the brain cause uncontrollable behaviors such as shaking violently,
unresponsiveness or staring into space; both strokes and seizures require
fast action to help save as much brain function as possible
