If I need an ambulance or medical attention, but the situation is not life threatening should I still dial 911?

yes. 911 is for emergency situations, whether life threatening or not and needing an ambulance and/or medical attention qualifies.

I think you should, unfortunately where I live we used to get free ambulance rides in case of emergencies of course. BUT then a certain age group, a few generations before me took advantage of it, called 911 for headaches on a regular basis, now we have to pay for it. Yes I know for a fact that they call for headaches, because I was in the outpatient before and a doctor actually told me that is a regular occurance. Now that we have to pay for the ambulance rides the waiting time to get looked at the hospital has been cut in half...easily. Wow that was a pretty long answer, sorry EvangelineOFire :(

Yes. Because it's only human to downplay what you've got. Just because you may not think it's lifethreatening doesn't mean it's not.
