Overdose/ Self-Poisoning Question - phoning nhs?
i don't know if this counts as First Aid so sorry if it's the wrong forum but i need to know, if you phone NHS Direct after a 'dangerous' overdose, would they be able to make you go to hospital? just i know they can track phones and so yeah...
oh and don't worry, i haven't OD.

I've phoned up worried following many-a-overdose.
They can urge you to go to hospital, and can send an ambulance if requested.
Other than that I don't believe they can make you.

I phoned my crisis line a few weeks ago and told them I had id'd -they phoned NHS 24 on my behalf. the woman then phoned me and said I had to go to hospital, I had to lie that someone would take me as I didnt want her sending an ambulance, she phoned me back to check someone was coming for me as she said if not then she had to send an ambulance...
So from that I got the impression that yeah they can make you, in my instance I did go, but had to lie as I was not having an ambulance turn up at my door...

Something has changed within me, something is not the same, I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep, its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap.... Somethings I cannot change, but till I try I'll never know... *** Big hugs to all my friends on here, thanks for your constant support - love you guys

I was hospitalised when suicidal because they felt I WAS a danger to myself.
