Not sure you need the ER?

• Life-threatening (chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding): call 911.
• Urgent but not life-threatening (sprains, minor cuts, fevers that won't go down): an urgent care centre or walk-in clinic is often faster.
• Common minor ailments (pink eye, urinary tract infections, cold sores and more): Ontario pharmacists can assess and prescribe.
• Not sure? Health811 is free advice from a registered nurse, 24/7: call 811 or visit Health811 online.
