A member asked:
My friend had to rush her husband to the er cause of diverticulosis that ruptured and put a hole in his colon, wouldnt an ambulance had been better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, usually: There are always extenuating circumstances, but since the medic can often provide life-sustaining treatments en route to the hospital (and since there is an inherent risk in driving to the hospital in this state) we recommend alerting EMS in such circumstances.
