Accident involving head injury or other broken bones. Severe or worsening reaction to an in sect bite or medicationespecially if breathing is difficult. Feelings of wanting to hurt yourself. Sudden, unexpected changes in behavior. Severe dog bites. Bleeding that won't stop. Sudden weakness on one part of the body.
