| >How many things on that list need treatment within minutes? Let's go down the list for things that don't need treatment in minutes: - Malaria - Rabies - Salmonella - Lyme disease - Malnutrition and starvation (though you'd rather have this taken care of fast if possible, in severe cases minutes would count) - Attempted suicide, non fatal (though only if you aren't up for anything else as a result of said attempted suicide, you'll be fine if you don't get immediate treatment) - Psychotic episode (under supervision) - Suicidal ideation (if you're under supervision) - Smoke inhalation (in very very minor cases) - HELPP syndrome (doesn't seem to be very dangerous in the minute range though you'll want treatment either way) - Priapism (although it is very painful) - Sexual assault (before you downvote consider that sexual assault is generally not fatal itself and you don't need urgent medical attention, though urgent psychological attention is, in general you'll survive if you need more than a few minutes to the hospital) Most of these come with a few ifs, notably that no other medical emergency coincides and some depend on severity, the rest of the list is to my knowledge pretty deadly if you don't get it taken care of as quickly as possible and for half the list it is likely you'd be either in extremely severe pain, unconscious, non-responsive, dying or a combination of the previous in any order. |
