Medical Emergency. A medical condition which manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that a prudent layperson, who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine, could reasonably expect the absence of immediate attention to result in 1) placing the health of the individual (or with respect to a pregnant woman, the health of the woman or her unborn child) in serious jeopardy; 2) serious impairment to bodily functions; or 3) serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. Examples of a medical emergency are severe pain, suspected heart attacks and fractures. Examples of a non- medical emergency are minor cuts and scrapes. Medically Necessary and Medical Necessity Services a physician, exercising prudent clinical judgment, would use with a patient to prevent, evaluate, diagnose or treat an illness or injury or its symptoms. These services must: Agree with generally accepted standards of medical practice Be clinically appropriate in type, frequency, extent, site and duration., They must also be considered effective for the patient’s illness, injury or disease Not be mostly for the convenience of the patient, physician, or other healthcare provider. They do not cost more than another service or series of services that are at least as likely to produce equivalent therapeutic or diagnostic results for the diagnosis or treatment of that patient’s illness, injury or disease. For these purposes, “generally accepted standards of medical practice” means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer reviewed medical literature. This published evidence is recognized by the relevant medical community, physician specialty society recommendations and the views of physicians practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors.

Medical Emergency. You should be prepared for the possibility of a medical emergency by knowing your participating provider’s procedures for “on call” and after regular office hours before the need arises. Determine the telephone number to call, which hospital your participating provider uses, and other information that will help you act quickly and correctly. Keep this information in an accessible location in case a medical emergency arises. If the situation is a medical emergency and if traveling to a participating provider would delay emergency care and thus endanger your health, you should go to the nearest medical facility. However, call PIC or your participating provider within 48 hours or as soon as reasonably possible to discuss your medical condition and to coordinate any follow-up care. You may authorize someone else to act on your behalf.

Medical Emergency. Required to absent themselves from work to personally care for a member of their immediate family in those medical emergencies which require the employee’s prompt attention. Emergency leave shall be taken as sick leave, except for a one-time provision of 48 hours of vacation leave that may be used per fiscal year. Annotation: In 1997, the parties modified 10.3 Utilization to allow flexibility for employees to use sick leave for a significant other who they consider a mate. It was agreed this flexibility was not to be extended anywhere else in the contract. This section also allows for an extension of time by the Sheriff/designee in an extraordinary loss.
Medical Emergency. G.30.1 Leave of up to five (5) days may be granted to a teacher when the presence of the immediate family is required in a medical emergency.
Medical Emergency. 7.1 In the event of any medical or other emergency arising in which the College considers it impossible or impractical to communicate with me / us (the undersigned Parent/s or Guardian/s), the College will take all reasonable care of the student, but will not be responsible for the costs of any medical or dental attention or treatment administered to the student in such event, nor will it be responsible directly or indirectly for any act or omission of any medical or dental practitioner or medical officer attending or treating the student, including College staff who provide attention or treatment. I understand that the College will make every reasonable effort to contact parent/s or guardian/s in these situations.
Medical Emergency. The sudden and unexpected onset of a medical condi- tion or the acute exacerbation of a chronic condition that is threatening to life, limb, or sight, and requires im- mediate medical treatment or which manifests painful symptomatology re- xxxxxxx immediate palliative efforts to alleviate suffering. Medical emer- gencies include heart attacks, cardio- vascular accidents, poisoning, convul- sions, kidney stones, and such other acute medical conditions as may be de- termined to be medical emergencies by the Director, OCHAMPUS, or a des- ignee. In the case of a pregnancy, a medical emergency must involve a sud- den and unexpected medical complica- tion that puts the mother, the baby, or both, at risk. Pain would not, however, qualify a maternity case as an emer- gency, nor would incipient birth after the 34th week of gestation, unless an otherwise qualifying medical condition is present. Examples of medical emer- gencies related to pregnancy or deliv- ery are hemorrhage, ruptured mem- brane with prolapsed cord, placenta previa, abruptio placenta, presence of shock or unconsciousness, suspected heart attack or stroke, or trauma (such as injuries received in an auto- mobile accident). Medically or psychologically necessary preauthorization. A pre (or prior) au- thorization for payment for medical/ surgical or psychological services based upon criteria that are generally accepted by qualified professionals to be reasonable for diagnosis and treat- ment of an illness, injury, pregnancy, and mental disorder. Medical supplies and dressings (consumables). Necessary medical or surgical supplies (exclusive of durable medical equipment) that do not with- stand prolonged, repeated use and that are needed for the proper medical man- agement of a condition for which bene- fits are otherwise authorized under CHAMPUS, on either an inpatient or outpatient basis. Examples include dis- posable syringes for a diabetic, colos- tomy sets, irrigation sets, and ace ban- xxxxx. Medically or psychologically necessary. The frequency, extent, and types of medical services or supplies which rep- resent appropriate medical care and that are generally accepted by quali- fied professionals to be reasonable and adequate for the diagnosis and treat- ment of illness, injury, pregnancy, and mental disorders or that are reasonable and adequate for well-baby care.
Medical Emergency. A condition, illness or injury is considered a medical emergency when there are symptoms of sufficient severity such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in any of the following:
Medical Emergency. Breaking the study blind for a patient should be done only in the event of a medical emergency where the identity of study medication is necessary to appropriately treat the Attachment 2, Attachment E-39 patient. The Investigator may unblind the patient as to study medication through the IVRS system. The IVRS system will automatically document and record any such unblinding and notify the Sponsor Medical Monitor and the Study Safety Officer of the unblinding. In addition, the Sponsor Medical Monitor and the Study Safety Officer also have the ability to unblind the study medication in a medical emergency. If the Investigator determines that the medical event that resulted in unblinding of the study medication is not treatment related (relationship is documented as “none”; see Section 8.3 for definitions of relationship), the patient may continue treatment and participation in the study, providing no more than 14 days has elapsed since the last dose of study medication (refer to Section 0 for details regarding temporary suspension of treatment). If the patient discontinues from further treatment with study medication, they should undergo the End-of-Treatment and End-of-Study procedures as outlined in Section 7.0 and the Schedule of Visits and Procedures (Appendix 14.1). CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS Concomitant Medications Calcium (500-1000 mg/day) and Vitamin D (400-800 IU/day) supplements, or a dose to be determined by Investigator and agreed upon by the Sponsor Medical Monitor according to the patient’s need, are required to be administered daily from the Pretreatment Period until the end of the Treatment Period. It is recommended that patients continue taking these supplements through the Follow-up Period. The doses and schedule of Calcium and Vitamin D supplements, which are part of the study medication protocol, should be adhered to and not be changed other than for medical necessity (Section 3.1.2). The supplements should be taken in the evening with or without food or as otherwise instructed by the Investigator. For any required concomitant medication, such as statins or antihypertensives, the patient must be on a stable dose at study entry and every effort should be made to maintain a stable dose during study participation. The occasional use of over-the-counter medications at approved doses (e.g., ibuprofen or acetaminophen) for headache or minor discomfort is allowed. These are to be recorded on the appropriate case report form. Patients should not take...
