What is Considered a Medical Emergency for home visits??

A medical emergency is any condition that poses an immediate risk to life, limb, or long-term health. If you or a loved one experience any of the following, call 999 or go to the nearest hospital:

 Life-Threatening Conditions:

Severe chest pain – Possible heart attack
Difficulty breathing – Severe asthma, pneumonia, or an allergic reaction
Uncontrolled bleeding – Deep wounds or internal bleeding
Loss of consciousness – Fainting, seizures, or head injuries
Stroke symptoms – Sudden numbness, difficulty speaking, or facial drooping
Severe burns – Large or deep burns, especially in children or elderly patients
Major fractures or spinal injuries – Loss of movement or sensation

For these cases, home doctors are not suitable—you need immediate emergency care.

When to Call a Home Doctor Instead?

If the condition is urgent but not life-threatening, a home visit doctor can provide treatment without the need to visit a hospital.

 Common Conditions Home Doctors Treat:

 Fever, flu, or infections
 Vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration
 Mild asthma attacks
 Skin infections, rashes, or allergic reactions
 Minor wounds, cuts, or burns
 Muscle pain, sprains, or joint injuries
 Mild headaches or migraines
 Prescription refills and IV drips for fatigue
