If you have a heart attack you call 911. There hasn’t been much messaging about that because, frankly, it’s assumed to be obvious.

- derefr 6y agoPeople tend to call 911 while they're having a heart attack; but a first heart attack doesn't tend to kill people, so if they live through it, they tend to think it isn't an urgent problem in need of calling 911, and instead just go to the hospital at their earliest convenience. The problem here guilt/shame delaying "earliest convenience."
- aianus 6y agoWashing your hands and covering your mouth while you cough is obvious too; that doesn't mean the messaging is unnecessary.
- rumanator 6y agoIt isn't obvious, unless you happen to suffer from hypochondria.
