You can be mobil and have someone to drive you and still be in an emergent life threatening situation and need to call 911 EMS. For example, respiratory distress, heart attack, stroke, bleeding, head injury and numerous other situations. In most of these cases not only will you get priority treatment at the ER but EMS is trained to start the evaluation and can provide O2, clot busting meds and other treatments before you even arrive at the ER
