Mother fell out, low BP, not knowing at the time, while holding her due to the precarious position her head fell forward, chin to sternum. I thought she was dead, her breathing so shallow. We called 911, or fire dept showed up within 7 minutes, about 20 minutes AMR arrives, mother had been placed on the floor on her back by the Fire department medical team and she was coherent. We decided not to take her to the ER, due to having a doctor's appointment within the hour, if needed we would go to ER afterwards. AMR said there's no charge if they don't transport. Everyone departed. Mother had to change clothes, soiling herself when she passed out. While helping her get dressed, she said "I don't fell good, " she passed out again, we called 911 and everyone reappeared once again, AMR techs said they were in route back to LaGrange and remembered our address turned around and arrive in about 10 minutes. We then decided to let them take her to the ER.
These guys were very professional and kindhearted. Even though emergency services seems expensive, not having a loved one is much worse, plus Medicare and insurances should pay for these costs. Heaven knows our premiums are costly enough.
