Gave epi once, sent an asthmatic out on ems once after 2 tx's and o2 still 84%, status epilepticus once with one of my seizure kids, called 911 after 5 mins and she was 23 mins in when they finally got her loaded and left, and they had an IV started and gave Ativan with success. Finally stopped it at the ER.

Student found unresponsive on the floor in the bathroom.... one last year and once this year (same student). Called 911 both times.
No dx of asthma, wheezing all over lungs, sats in low 90s, no response to albuterol inhaler. That was a 911 call.

Severe asthma, had to call 911, Sats in the 70's just prior to transport. Retracting like crazy. EMS was here for 45 minutes just trying to get him stable for transport. He was bad right off the bus! He ended up in PICU.
Broken hip when a grandmother fell.
Each year I have at least 2-3 broken arms

Called 911 for acute left sided abdominal pain. Student went down in hallway, could not get up because of pain. BP was elevated, other vitals normal. Student alert, responsive, reported not having a bowel movement for 4+ days. Student was transported, turned out to be severe constipation, thankfully no blockage, which I was worried about.
Then on of few days I ever got a sub, the sub called 911 for a student with all the textbook symptoms of appendicitis...

Lol - funny you should say that, because that was what it ended up being! But my sub wasn't sure, no previous history, and student was running a low grade temp. Sub called the parents several times for a pickup before it progressed and parents keep saying, we'll be there, etc (history of looong pick up times), it progressed, sub called 911. I'd have done the same thing.
