Staying Out of the ER: A Patient’s Guide for Dealing with Common Medical Emergencies

Written by Dr. Foye Ikyaator, medical director of Life Savers ER, is your guide to everything about the emergency room.

If you have ever wondered whether a trip to the emergency room was necessary for a medical issue, you are not alone. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish which symptoms require a trip to the ER and which do not. Not knowing how to respond or where to turn for help are normal reactions after a medical event occurs. How you react after that initial response can make all the difference.

This book includes everything you need to know about the severity of common medical ailments such as:

  • Chest pain
  • Stomach issues
  • Burns
  • Colds, COVID, and influenza
  • Allergic Reactions
  • Kidney Stones
  • Work-Related Accidents
  • Falls and Broken Bones
  • Pediatric Ailments

Staying Out of the ER will help you identify symptoms for these ailments and when medical advice is needed. This book also covers what to do before you arrive at the emergency room, what to expect once you are there, and what to have on hand at home should a medical event occur.

Visiting the ER is the right choice for a serious illness or injury. This book is a great reference to have on hand to help you determine how to treat your illness or injury.
