Medical Emergency

Welcome to the emergency medicine section of the correct dot com. This section is where we have collected the core emergency medical information and have presented in useful and succinct manner.

Medical emergencies, like any other, do not come after an announcement and the worst part is that most of us do not come to know when it hits us.

So it is of extreme importance to know what is a medical emergency exactly.
