Is there an easy way though to be sure that a 'drunk' who beligerently insists they don't need help isn't actually a diabetic suffering low blood sugar? I've read some stories where the police have locked some 'drunk' up in their cells to sleep it off overnight, only to discover them dead or in a diabetic coma the next morning. Fortunately I've never had to call an ambulance, though I have called the police to alert them to horses (not mine) loose on a main road at 2am. Hope you feel better soon, toothache is hell.
