Medical Emergencies-When to Call 911? - Open Forum in The Villages

Send us a text

What are the signs of a medical emergency? What to do?

This is an open conversation with Dr. Cheryl Klenow and Mike Roth.

We talked about the symptoms that require you to call 911.  These symptoms vary from falls, severe pain to loss of vision, facial drooping, or an uneven smile.  Slurred speech is another symptom to watch for.

Additional reasons to call 911 include: loss of breathing, lightening, seizures, burns or poisoning.

Also, what should you bring with you to the emergency room?  What information do the doctors want to see in an emergency?

We also discuss the dangers with some over the counter medications.

Dr. Klenow reviews local hospitals.

Have you heard about mature adults with Donna Hoover and Mike Roth? Yes. This is my second podcast and Donna and I are going to be addressing subjects which are significant for seniors, especially seniors living here in the villages.

The easiest way to hear the show is to look it up on Apple Podcasts. Look for mature adults with Donna and Mike. We'll be looking for you there. 

You can also find us on mature adults with Donna and Mike. All spelled out. Dot buzz sprout.com
