Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries the emergency number is 112. While calling 112 is the first step, publicly asking 'Hat jemand einen medizinischen Notfall?' can be useful in crowded venues to locate the person in need before paramedics arrive. Keep your tone calm and clear; shouting may cause panic.
