Go to the ER If your symptoms are severe or you suspect a potentially life-threatening medical issue, the emergency room is the place to go. Potentially life-threatening medical issues include chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion and slurred speech, severe abdominal pain, head trauma, visible bone breaks, profuse bleeding, and large lacerations. If you are dealing with a potentially life-threatening injury or illness, call 911 or have someone take you to the emergency room. To ensure resources are available when needed in Riverside’s emergency department, we provide care for conditions that are not life-threatening at our Immediate Care locations.
