Do people in Germany typically call for ambulances after their heart attack? Doesn’t sound like an ideal strategy
Also #fuckcars
Why not? Ambulance at your house in 10 mins is not unheard of (where I am)
That's faster than I would be able to hail a cab or public transport. I sure as hell am not gonna cycle or drive if I am actively suffering from a cardiac arrest
10 minutes still feel like a lot. I don't think I ever had to wait that much for an ambulance. Though I do live in an atypical town.
I just imagine an old grey haired guy sitting on the kitchen floor taking his pulse
“Waaait for it not yet, still happening almost”
While his family is there clambering for him to just call for an ambulance
All the literature I’ve read states that getting help as fast as possible gets the best health outcome, not a doctor, just a dude who happens to have a heart
What? Do you think that people can predict when they will get a heart attack? When else would people call it if not after the person has it?
There are 100% signs of an impending heart attack? What the fuck are you talking about?
Chest pains and shortness of breath aren’t going to cause most people to preemptively call an ambulance. Also the signs aren’t 100% lots of people have heart attacks without knowing it, especially women.
Why be so rude to people online? It’s not a good look especially when you’re incorrect in your statements.
I don’t know where the fuck you got ‘cause most people’ to do anything, all I said was the last guy is wrong for saying there are no signs of an impending heart attack
I dunno why do loud mouths like you butt into conversations and make false accusations about shit that was never said?
Well at least I know I can block you. Get some help with anger management.
Yep, have a good time excluding logic from your echo chamber!
And how many seconds before the attack do those appear? Is that timeframe relevant in a fucking way to this discussion?
I really don't get your point. If people are around to help the person, they will and then call the ambulance. Where do you take the waiting from? Isn't a heart attack something that happens suddenly? Why would you wait before you call the ambulance if you know it will happen? Where do you take that from?
Thank you :) I’m happy you came around to my point of view
What ever...
I'm not sure if you two are just joking or if there's actual some confusion here. What the guy in the video means by "before" the heart attack is before there's any indication you're gonna have one.
Well that’s not what he said sooooo?
You better. If you do not arrive at the ER via ambulance, they will assume your case is not an emergency.
That’s pretty fucked,
sorry your Nana died, she didn’t use der zugelassene Krankenwagen! So we left her in the lobby
Ja, well. Good luck finding someone to talk to.
In Germany, if you are seriously sick or injured, you need support from someone who can make demands of the hospital and the doctors, otherwise you get no info and probably not enough treatment and medication. If Mutti doesn't have anyone actively engaging with doctors and staff, Mutti is pretty much f'ed in proverbial a. Why? Because everyone is overworked and disillusioned and very tired, and there is never enough time or money to treat people properly because of the way our health system has been restructured: to be profit oriented - even public hospitals.
Still beats what they have in 'murica: at least you can get affordable treatment even as a nobody.
