7 Signs You Should Call 911 Right Away (And 5 False Alarms)

CALL 911: Serious falls

If somebody has fallen due to an accident, from a large height or onto a dangerous surface, it may be time to call the emergency line – especially if the person is unable to stand up or is in deep pain.

According to Dr. Long Gillespie, the best thing you can do is not move the person in any way.
