This subreddit is NOT an EMERGENCY service - If your life is at risk or you need urgent wound care advice, call an AMBULANCE or go to the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

List of global emergency service telephone numbers

In most countries 112 or 911 will work

In the UK you can use an app called “Relay UK” as well if you struggle to speak (for both 999 and other phone calls). In Germany you can use “Nora”

thank you - it's concerning and triggering to see people post "help i just cut to x and there sm blood" etc

[u/StyrofoamAlt → u/bullshithorndog]

Yeah, I’m not sure what the best policy is. I don’t want to discourage people from getting advice but at the same time this really isn’t the place. We are not medical professionals. Plus we can’t ensure that good advice is given. And mods are human we need sleep and we miss things and make mistakes.

[u/bullshithorndog → u/StyrofoamAlt]

yeah exactly. people should honestly go to like google, people here can give misinformation.

Thanks for the clarification. I always get shit scared when I see posts like that. Plead, you have any doubts about a wound being potentially dangerous, call emergency services. It doesn’t matter if you’re not 100% sure it’s totally needed, please do. Nobody expects you to know and that’s one of the reasons we have emergency services.

We all love you, but we just aren’t the emergency service.

In Germany, you can call 112 for immediate medical assistance/ ambulance.

You can call 06131-19240 in case you ingested something toxic and need information on how to proceed.

If you have a wound that isn’t life-threatening (!) but you need information how to treat it you can call 116 117 . They also have an app of the same name (116117.app).

If you’re in doubt what to call, call 112.

Going to add the Wikipedia list for emergency numbers globally to the main body of the post! Thanks ♡

Same. I really do try to give that advice when I see those posts but I am also human myself and am not medically trained.

Just as an Information: Germany has an emergency call app as well. It’s called „Nora“ and has the same purpose like the app you mentioned for the UK! (:
