When you call ResQMed, try to have these 3 details ready:

Give the street, road, farm name, landmark or nearest town. If you are travelling, sharing a location pin can also help.

🚑 2. What has happened
Briefly explain the emergency and how many people need assistance.

📞 3. Your callback number
Keep your phone nearby in case the crew needs directions or more information.

This is especially useful when travelling through the more rural areas around Kokstad, Matatiele, Underberg, Harding and Mount Currie.

🌸 Spring Is Tomorrow, Kokstad. Are You Emergency Ready?

Winter is almost behind us, and with spring comes more time outdoors, more travelling, school sport, gardening, farming, family outings and weekends on the road.

It also brings a different set of emergencies.

As we head into the new season, here are 5 numbers and details worth checking on your phone today:

📞 Your local ambulance service
👨‍👩‍👧 Your family's emergency contacts
🏥 Your doctor or nearest medical facility
🩺 Your medical aid details, if applicable
📍 Your home address and location pin, especially if you live on a farm or rural property

And while you're at it, check that your first aid kit is stocked and that everyone in your household knows where to find it.

Emergency preparedness isn't about expecting something bad to happen.

It's about knowing what to do if it does.

🤒 Flu... or Something More Serious? Know When to Get Help

Feeling miserable with flu doesn't usually mean you need an ambulance. But sometimes symptoms become severe enough that urgent medical attention is needed.

With respiratory illnesses, don't only focus on whether someone has a fever. Pay attention to how they are breathing, behaving and responding.

🚨 Seek urgent medical help if someone develops:

🫁 Severe difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
💙 Blue, grey or unusually pale lips or skin
❤️ Persistent chest pain or pressure
😵 Confusion, extreme drowsiness or difficulty waking
💧 Signs of severe dehydration
🤒 Symptoms that improve and then suddenly return or become significantly worse
⚠️ A rapid deterioration that makes you seriously concerned

Babies, young children, older adults and people with certain underlying health conditions can be at greater risk of complications, so changes in their condition deserve careful attention.

And remember: you know the people you love. If something feels seriously wrong, don't ignore that concern simply because you think "it's probably just flu."

When it becomes an emergency, ResQMed is here.

🚑 What Actually Happens When You Call an Ambulance?

For most people, calling an ambulance happens during a frightening or stressful moment. Knowing what to expect can make it a little easier to stay calm.

When you call for emergency medical assistance, be ready to tell us:

📍 Where are you?
Give the clearest location possible. An address, road name, landmark, farm name or location pin can help.

🩺 What happened?
Briefly explain the emergency and what symptoms or injuries the person has.

👤 Who needs help?
Information such as the patient's approximate age and current condition can be useful.

📞 How can we reach you?
Keep your phone nearby in case further information is needed.

While help is on the way, keep the patient as safe and calm as possible and follow any instructions you are given.

When the emergency medical team arrives, they can assess the patient, begin appropriate emergency care and determine the next steps, including transport where necessary.

One important tip: Don't hang up or rush through the call because you're worried that answering questions is wasting time. Clear information helps emergency services understand the situation and find you.

🐍 SNAKEBITE: What You Do Next Matters

As the weather begins warming up around Kokstad and surrounding farming areas, people may start spending more time outdoors, and encounters with snakes can happen.

If someone is bitten, panic can lead to dangerous decisions.

DO:

🐍 Move away from the snake and get to a safe place
🚑 Seek emergency medical assistance immediately
🧘 Keep the person as calm and still as possible
💍 Remove rings, watches or tight items from the affected limb before swelling develops
📝 Remember what the snake looked like from a safe distance, but do not try to catch or kill it

DON'T:

❌ Cut the bite
❌ Suck out the venom
❌ Apply ice
❌ Use an electric shock
❌ Give alcohol
❌ Apply a tight tourniquet unless specifically instructed by appropriately trained medical personnel for the situation

And please, don't waste valuable time trying to find the snake.

Not every snakebite results in envenomation, but you cannot safely determine the severity yourself. A suspected snakebite should be treated seriously and assessed by medical professionals.

Save our number before you need it.

📍 In an Emergency, Could You Tell Us EXACTLY Where You Are?

It sounds simple until you're panicked, you're on an unfamiliar road, or the emergency happens somewhere without a clear street address.

For emergency medical services, knowing exactly where to find you can save valuable time.

If you're calling for an ambulance:

📍 Give the exact street address if you know it
📱 Send a location pin when possible
🛣️ Mention nearby road names, intersections or landmarks
🏡 On farms or rural properties, provide the farm name, gate entrance and any useful directions
🚗 If you're on the road, look for route numbers, kilometre markers, businesses or recognisable landmarks
👋 If possible, have someone safely wait where they can direct the ambulance

This is especially important in Kokstad and surrounding rural areas, where a location may not always be as simple as a house number.

One small habit can help too: learn how to share your live location or location pin from your phone before an emergency happens.

When every minute matters, helping us find you quickly matters too. 🚑
