What paramedics and EMTs want you to know:
You don’t have to know what’s wrong; you just need to call early.
Many medical emergencies don’t look dramatic at first.
Shortness of breath. A sudden fall. Confusion that feels “off.”
Waiting can make treatment harder.
When you call 911:
• Stay on the line and follow instructions
• Share what you’re seeing, even if it feels minor
• Don’t worry about using the “right” medical words
Early calls help EMS begin care sooner, and that can change outcomes.
