More than that. In the ambulance they can give him supplemental oxygen, check a bunch of vitals and monitor them, communicate with the hospital in transit, etc., instead of waiting to get to the hospital for admission and treatment to begin. Big difference!I always thought if you show up at the emergency dept. They would check your health and decide to admit or not.
I just learned tonight.
My Uncle, over 90 phoned a relative to say he was having trouble breathing. She came over, and said she would drive him to hospital.
He said call 911, so the ambulance will take him, that way they will let him in.
He is in there now. . no visitors.
Seems he is pretty smart
