The point "If you have a serious medical emergency, or are over the age of 80, you will wait 6 hours before calling an ambulance. If you are under 40 then the longest you will wait with a minor injury is 2 minutes." made my laugh ruefully. Last year my Dad, 82, became ill. He said he just had a bad cold and just needed "a little nap." After a day and a half of taking care of him, I called the ambulance. He had pneumonia and had also had a small heart attack. He was in the hospital for two months. So here is what I learned, folks, correct me if I'm wrong: if you think someone elderly is sick enough to need a doctor, and you can't get them to the doctor because they can't get out of bed, call an ambulance.
