YSK: if you think taking an ambulance to an Emergency Room because you think it'll get you seen sooner. DON'T! - eviltoast

Why YSK: If you’re injured or ill but it’s not life or limb threatening and you decide to call an ambulance thinking it’ll be faster and you’ll be seen first… WRONG. Ambulance crews very frequently will advise the hospital staff that you “can wait”. Then we’ll plop you into a wheel chair and push you into the waiting room with everyone else.

    Comes up to the country.

    In Germany if you think you have something serious CALL 112 and ask for an ambulance ASAP you will be put in the next hospital with space put instantly in and get care ASAP

    While going on feet / yourself to emergency care can take literarily hours.
