When selecting a healthcare provider, consider factors such as their qualifications, experience, location, and whether they accept your insurance. Additionally, ask for recommendations from friends, family, or your current doctor. It's important to choose someone you feel comfortable with and trust.

Some signs that warrant immediate medical attention include severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or numbness, severe injuries, severe allergic reactions, loss of consciousness, and signs of stroke or heart attack. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
