call an ambulance
Dial for medics
Call an ambulance is an urgent directive to summon emergency medical services, typically by dialing 911 in the United States or equivalent emergency numbers elsewhere.
The phrase appears in the internet meme "call an ambulance, but not for me," where someone feigns distress before revealing they have the upper hand—often accompanied by an image of an elderly man pulling a gun.
He collapsed on the sidewalk and someone shouted to call an ambulance.
