On doctor’s orders! Those words would automatically trigger some common-sense action by the police.
My son was a federal police officer and sprung into action when on two different occasions, a nearby person had a heart attack. No questions asked, just action by my son and his partner.
Unfortunately both men died due to the severity of their attacks (I survived cardiac arrest when my son got me thru rush hour traffic to an alerted hospital and while I was DOA at the door, the emergency room doctor gave me immediate defibrilator shocks and brought me back to life). It was those few minutes that my son gained for me by his actions that saved me, as well as the quick action by Dr. Dixon).
No delays, no 20 Questions, just common-sense and good professional actions.
I did something similar when two people next to me or talking to me had petit mal seizures. At the Library of Congress, at least 5 staff and visitors immediately attended the man while one called for EMT service. The man was okay.
In the other case at another government research facility, one of the staff that I was talking to suddenly seized up and dropped to the floor. Only a foreign visitor from Germany and myself rendered any aid, not the building police, the nurse was just as useless, nor any other staffer. It was only when I yelled at the staff to get an ambulance did someone finally act.
The staffer eventually recovered but was taken to a hospital for a full check-up. He had to leave his job because of the severity of his seizure problem. A nice young man, too.
Time is of the essence when a medical emergency is involved.
To paraphrase the quote from “Aliens”, - “Get them to the hospital now, just to be sure” that they are okay.
Capish!
He'd then run back to the squad car, turn on his lights and you'd follow him at speeds up to 90mph all the way to the hospital. The cop would radio ahead and hospital workers would be waiting outside to rush your wife right into the delivery room.
At least, that's how it used to be.
Once again, a miscarriage at 7 weeks isn’t viable, and can’t be saved, nor is it life threatening.
I had one and the doctor made an appointment at the office the same day, and this lady had been bleeding the day before. I was sent home to miscarry, and so I had to wait for the process to complete. Nothing an ER could have stopped.
The doctor was too lazy to make an appointment and directed her to the ER since the woman is most likely is on free medical care.
