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.

You mentioned when you call 911 that the sheriffs office answers. Do you live in a rural area where the county provides law enforcement instead of an incorporated city with it's own police dept? Perhaps you live in a small town without adequate medical facilities. Do you have access to a major medical center? Are you near Oklahoma City or Tulsa?
