Yeeeeeep. I work in EMS and a ton of our ambulance calls start out with something along the lines of "Well, I called the Ask A Nurse hotline about my 5 year old daughter throwing up twice with a fever of 100.2 and they said to call an ambulance."

Mathematics posted:Her main vet basically straight up said, "Don't call if you have a problem. Always come in." so I'm kind of eh about that. I can sort of understand that. For me it's like a car. When my car is making a funny noise, I call my mechanic. They ask what's wrong and I'm like "Um. It's making a weird noise. Sort of a squeaky squeally noise? Kind of like *makes awkward squeaky sound*?" and then they're like "Just come in and let me listen to it" because I obviously have no idea what the gently caress I'm talking about and "something ain't quite right" isn't really diagnostic material. Something like "My dog's stomach is a little bigger, maybe it might be swollen or maybe she's just a little fatter...?" seems like it would be the same kind of deal.
