Not every emergency is an emergency
However, the Tweets do not tell not always something about the Severity of the injury: How dangerous is the “breathing in a small child in a doctor’s practice for Kids” in Neukölln, “acute vomiting” in Schmargendorf or “uncontrollable nosebleeds” are in Siemens city. Nose to the rescue will employ bleed forces in Berlin on this day, however, on several occasions.
On the question, explains a spokesman, the vomiting Person and Schmargendorf, as well as the Person with the nose bleed in Siemens city had been brought in hospitals. Also, in most other cases, the people had been brought afterwards to the hospital.
But again and again, complain rescue workers are also on emergency calls, which are actually no problems about that could also treat a home medical doctor, such as a cut Finger, or stomach pain that last for a week. Similarly, the emergency departments in hospitals: they are often overcrowded, and also because patients come because of problems there that are not emergencies, and also in doctor’s surgeries could be treated.
“In the case of panic, Heartbreak, or loneliness help the Telefonseelsorge Berlin e. V., or the Berlin crisis service”, tweets the fire Department.

Including pocket can be calls, forbidden prank phone calls, but callers have only one question, explains Frederic Finner, the care of the Social Media action of the fire brigade. “There is undisputed emergency calls, which are not, since we will be leaving after the inquiry, the use of place,” said Finner. “But a high number is one of those where we cannot say, ultimately to 100 percent. When can you exclude with certainty whether it is the Person in a half hour?” Finally, the rescue transported the patient in a clinic.
How many calls are actually genuine emergencies, not statistically finally, to evaluate. The rescue forces would carry out an initial examination, where appropriate, can be lifesaving to initiate emergency measures and first important measures. But what happens after the Transport of a Person in a hospital that is located outside of the Fire service.
Therefore, we appeal to the parties Concerned, assess yourself, what help you need, Finner. Who have been in pain for a week, to be able to go to the doctor or to the emergency service of the kassenärztliche Vereinigung call, come where home.
Overall, the use situation on Monday had been quite normal, says Finner in the early afternoon.
