on the subject of emergencies

If your heart is showing any of the following on an ekg or a monitor.. you will receive immediate treatment.
you need a pacemaker stat

cath lab for U

shock 'em if no pulse

definitely shocked this time

you are dead. dead. dead.
These are life-threatening emergencies.

If you come in, and your leg looks like this:
you might lose your foot
There will be no waiting, I am sure of it. This will get you a lot of pain medication. And surgery.

If your chest xray looks like this, you won't be waiting long either.
pink frothy sputum alert
Because you can't breathe. And you could even end up like the person in the previous post.
Ok, off rant now. Going to bed.
