Understanding Your Emergency
Knowing when to seek emergency medical care can be confusing. While some situations clearly warrant a trip to the ER, others might be treatable at an urgent care clinic or with a scheduled doctor’s appointment.
Here are some instances when seeking immediate care at the Saline Memorial Hospital Emergency Room is crucial:
- Severe chest pain or difficulty breathing: These symptoms could indicate a heart attack or other serious respiratory issues requiring immediate medical intervention.
- Sudden numbness or weakness: Stroke symptoms often manifest as sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, facial drooping, and difficulty speaking. Time is crucial in stroke treatment, so seeking immediate medical help is vital.
- Uncontrolled bleeding: Whether from an injury or internal bleeding, uncontrolled bleeding requires immediate medical attention.
- Severe allergic reactions: Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, can cause difficulty breathing, swelling, and a drop in blood pressure. Seek immediate emergency care.
