E.R. can evaluate: Anybody who feels he has a "crushing sensation" in the chest should be evaluated in the E.R. To rule out a heart attack. Calling 911 for an ambulance ride is the safest way to go. If it turns out to be a different problem, such as a collapsed lung, the E.R. Will still be the right place to be.
