I'm in Europe, I once was in a pretty bad state and with a high fever, so I called 112 or something like that, because in other country they decide if you should go to hospital immediately and deliver you. Here they questioned me and told me ‘yeah, you should go to ER’, and the conversation was over. I took a taxi there, not sure what would I do if I passed out before getting to the taxi, as I already passed out that evening and it was why I called and didn't just go in the first place.
112 means you're a ghost
In Celsius? You’re cooked!
Edit: 112 is a common emergency services # in the EU, akin to 911, for any Americans wondering
Oh, y'all don't do 999 like the Brits? (I always thought that was a little too easy to go by accident tbh)
But yeah 112f so eleventry-seveen Celsius. (44.5 according to a unit converter)
According to the wiki, 112 is technically possible but unlikely
40/104 is considered a life threatening emergency
There are a few countries that use 999 in addition, or for specific services like ambulance. (Ireland, Poland, Guernsey, and a few others IIRC.) 112 is just one of the more common.
