If you’re having a medical emergency, make it easier for the paramedics to help you…By making sure they can find you! For example, if you get stung by a bee in your backyard, and you’re having trouble breathing – get someone to call 911. Then go out into your driveway. Medical experts say that if you’re having a life-threatening issue, every second counts. And you don’t want the paramedics wasting time wondering if they’ve got the right house, pounding on your front door, or trying to figure out how to get through the gate into your backyard.

Would you believe it’s NOT calling 9-1-1? That’s the word from healthcare expert Leslie Michelson. He wrote “The Patient’s Playbook” – and he says most people make the mistake because they aren’t sure if what they’re experiencing is a true emergency, or serious enough to call for paramedics. But Michelson says it’s best to err on the side of caution. And if the patient has a history of medical issues – like heart disease or diabetes, has a head injury, or is elderly – definitely call 9-1-1.

Getting stuck in heavy traffic triples our risk of having a heart attack.

According to studies, a significant number of heart attack patients have been stuck in traffic within an hour of their medical emergency. Researchers say it boils down to a combination of air pollution from car exhaust, and stress. So make sure the air in your car is re-circulated to cut down on pollution – and try some mindful meditation techniques to de-stress while driving.
