When did you go to the ER?

One thing I've really been struggling over is when to consider calling an ambulance for my AH. A couple of months ago he was to the point one night that his breathing was irregular and wheezy, he was struggling to even crawl the 15 feet from the bathroom to the bedroom, and on the way there he lost feeling in his leg. Earlier that night he'd crashed full-force into the sliding glass door (which is thankfully very sturdily built), passed out for a half-hour right there, then when he woke up he asked me if I got the jersey number of the guy that hit him. I wanted to call an ambulance, he begged me not to, and I did the monumentally stupid thing of not calling. Now, a few days after his third concussion in just over a year, the question is plaguing me again. For those of you who have had to send your A to the hospital, was it just for injuries or for obviously BAD alcohol poisoning, and what made you decide it was bad enough to need to go?
