- mschuster91 6y agoIn technical terms, "serious medical emergency" means "a person is heavily injured and at risk of loss of life or permanent disability without expert medical intervention". A homeless person generally does not need a doctor's / EMT's attention to survive, a cab to the nearest shelter is sufficient.
