When you need help, an emergency care professional is there for you. They can help you with everything from acute problems like heart attacks and strokes to chronic conditions like diabetes and mental health issues. For that, Dr Michael Hilton will discuss the things that emergency care professionals can do for patients.
You Are Having An Acute Problem
If you are having a heart attack, or stroke or have been in an accident, emergency care professionals will call for help, which can be done by phone or radio. The person calling for help should tell the dispatcher what has happened to him and where they are.
So If someone has been poisoned, emergency professionals will give you fluids through an IV line, so that any poison still in your body doesn’t damage your kidneys or other organs further. These medical pros may give antidotes (medicines) like nitroglycerin if needed, and may also do tests on blood samples to see which poisons are present in order to find out how best to treat them.
You Have A Chronic Problem
If you have a chronic problem, it’s often serious and can be treated. A chronic condition stays with you for a long time. Examples of chronic conditions include asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.
Chronic diseases are common in adults over 65 years old but can affect people at any age. If your doctor has diagnosed you with a chronic condition like asthma or diabetes he/she will want to manage it carefully so that it doesn’t get worse or cause other health problems like heart disease or stroke (which could kill).
You Have A Mental Health Problem
Lastly, Dr Michael Hilton if you are suffering from a mental health problem and want to get help, there are many places where you can find support. Your GP will be able to refer you for treatment and support. You can also call the local mental support groups near you if you have any questions about your mental health or feel like things are getting too much for you to cope with alone.
