Emergency - What now?

Urgent symptoms

Ask for help

If you feel very bad or desperate, the most important thing is that you share this with people around you. If you are receiving treatment from Praktijk Lastage, I, as a practitioner, and your general practitioner also belong to ‘people around you’. I read my e-mail on a daily basis, even outside my regular working days. You will receive a response from me as soon as possible and no later than the next working day, unless I am on holiday. In that case you should contact my locum (temporary replacement) first. If you send me an e-mail, you will automatically receive his or her details where applicable.

Do understand that Praktijk Lastage does not have a 24/7 crisis service. Nevertheless, a situation may arise in which you urgently need or wish to receive help. How best to act depends on the degree of urgency of your problem/situation. Use the information below as a guideline when estimating the degree of urgency:

1. Call 1 1 2 in an acute, life-threatening situation.
2. Call your GP's emergency number in case of a very urgent, but not life-threatening, situation.
3. Urgent questions that can wait until the next working day can be sent via the contact form on the website, or left as a message on tel: +31 6 301 50 556. In that case, please also say how I can best reach you.

In addition to your practitioner at Praktijk Lastage and your general practitioner, you can also contact www.113.nl. This organisation offers support if you are thinking about suicide. You can always call this organization on telephone number: 0900 113 0113.
