It’s probably something you don’t think much about, until you’re in a critical health moment. You or someone around you is experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack. Do you call an ambulance or drive them to the hospital? The answer could mean the difference between life and death – especially if you live in a rural area.
Dr. Sam Kapphahn, an interventional cardiologist at Essentia Health in Fargo urges that even if you live in a rural community or a long distance from a hospital, you should call for help right away, no matter when the heart concern begins.
