General Medical Emergencies
A medical emergency can occur anywhere on campus. The reaction of the victim or those around him/her can ensure quick arrival of trained emergency personnel. What to do if someone is injured or becomes ill:
- Stay calm.
- Dial 3111 (or 978-665-3111 from a cell phone) and explain:
- the type of emergency,
- the location of the victim, and
- the condition of the victim.
- Let the dispatcher know of any safety hazards—chemical spill, fire, fumes, etc.
- Be sure to tell the dispatcher if the person is unconscious, not breathing, is bleeding profusely, or has chest pain. These all cause the dispatcher to summon an ambulance.
- Do not hang up unless told to do so by the dispatcher.
- Do not move the victim unless there is danger of further injury if he/she is not moved.
- Do not give the victim anything to eat or drink.
