✕Common Mistakes
¿Está alguien con una emergencia médica?
Do not use "Está" here; "hay" expresses existence, while "está" would describe location of a specific person.
¿Hay alguien con una emergencia médico?
Avoid mixing gender: "emergencia" is feminine, so the adjective must be "médica", not "médico".
¿Hay alguien de una emergencia médica?
Do not replace "con" with "de"; "de" would change the meaning to 'someone of a medical emergency' which is ungrammatical.

Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking countries, it is common to call emergency services by dialing 112 (EU) or 911 (Latin America). When you ask this question, keep your tone calm and clear; shouting can cause panic. If you are in a formal environment (hospital, police station), you might add "por favor" to soften the request: "¿Hay alguien con una emergencia médica, por favor?"
