Your obviously more familiar with your 911 system than I am but why not call 911 anyway. Don't make assumptions they wont come and help you. Give them a chance. I believe all 911 calls go to a call center but if a person calls and says they need the police the police show up at least that’s been my experience and the same with sheriffs, ambulances & fire personnel.
If an ambulance fails to come could you make it to an emergency room? Do you have a primary care physician? Do you know anyone in the medical field? They may have contact information to get you some help. What state are you in?

I am in Oklahoma.Been here since 1965. Came here to go to collegeNo, I do not know anybody in the medical field. That ts one of my problems. And actually,that is what I am looking for I am sure that there is a way that I can get help if I can only find the right person to help me.Why am I so stand offish about 911? My wife's appendix ruptured last year. Yes, pretty scary. I can not drive so I was calling to try to find someone.to take her to the hospital. I called local churches and they would not help me. I called 911 and it took an hour and a half for them to show up.
