The Scope Radio show

Summary: You’re having chest pains and difficulty breathing, and no one is around to take you to the emergency room. You may not want to call 911 and tie up the emergency line. Do you drive yourself to the hospital or call for an ambulance? Emergency room physician Dr. Troy Madsen discusses the “ABCs” of calling 911 and talks about the health conditions in which you should be calling for an ambulance.
