I often thought about emergency services, and I wondered how you decided you had an emergency, or if you should wait.
I mean it was easy to know if it was true emergency when it came to your health.
I would never go to an emergency room because I had a cold, sore throat, or an upset stomach. I would need to think I was dying before going to the emergency room, but there are fewer people like me than there are those who go just because they can. If my toilet is spewing its contents onto my floor, I know I needed an emergency plumber. If I have a slow drain, I’m not going to call the plumber. I ran a business, and I had a leak in my bathroom. I wasn’t sure if I should call an emergency plumber, or wait until the morning. I was sure an emergency plumber was just one who was kept on the roster in case a true emergency came up. I didn’t own a restaurant where the leak could make someone sick. I wasn’t covered under any health regulations, but sometimes people used my bathroom that wasn’t supposed to. I have the right to say the bathroom is not open to patrons. When the bathroom was leaking in my dress shop, I knew I needed to get it fixed for my employees. I sat in the store debating whether I should call the plumber when my best friend came in to help me do inventory. When she commented on the smell of sewer, I knew I needed an emergency plumber.
