    Do people in Germany typically call for ambulances after their heart attack? Doesn’t sound like an ideal strategy

    Also #fuckcars

      Why not? Ambulance at your house in 10 mins is not unheard of (where I am)

      That’s faster than I would be able to hail a cab or public transport. I sure as hell am not gonna cycle or drive if I am actively suffering from a cardiac arrest

        I just imagine an old grey haired guy sitting on the kitchen floor taking his pulse

        “Waaait for it not yet, still happening almost”

        While his family is there clambering for him to just call for an ambulance

        All the literature I’ve read states that getting help as fast as possible gets the best health outcome, not a doctor, just a dude who happens to have a heart

          I really don’t get your point. If people are around to help the person, they will and then call the ambulance. Where do you take the waiting from? Isn’t a heart attack something that happens suddenly? Why would you wait before you call the ambulance if you know it will happen? Where do you take that from?

              Chest pains and shortness of breath aren’t going to cause most people to preemptively call an ambulance. Also the signs aren’t 100% lots of people have heart attacks without knowing it, especially women.

              Why be so rude to people online? It’s not a good look especially when you’re incorrect in your statements.

                I don’t know where the fuck you got ‘cause most people’ to do anything, all I said was the last guy is wrong for saying there are no signs of an impending heart attack

                I dunno why do loud mouths like you butt into conversations and make false accusations about shit that was never said?
