Immediate relief of pain is the purpose of getting the patient to the doctor without delay. ?When an apparently minor symptom persists for more than a few days or a week, and does not appear to be due to some easily identified cause. A nose bleed from a sharp blow is one thing; a nose that bleeds constantly or frequently for no apparent reason is quite a different matter. ?When the symptom returns repeatedly for no readily apparent cause. Digestive disturbances due to overindulgence are one thing; constant digestive distress despite great care and moderation in eating is another. ?When in doubt, it is safer to call the doctor than to take a chance. Many accidents around the home or yard cause bruises and scratches and minor sprains that can be successfully treated at home. But some accidents require fast medical attention. If the accident victim is un conscious, get help fast. Also when bleeding is severe or cannot be controlled; when the victim is groggy or confused; when there are signs of shock, such as pale, cold skin, sweatine and weak pulse. Breathlessness or intensive thirst after the accident require medical attention. If there is a possible broken bone, seek help. Also for severe pain, signs of poisoning, serious burns, persistent vomiting, blurred vision. Wholesale to YOU Premium mm First Quality CLOSEOUT ON RECRPS \ CORNER B J ? ?
