A disloacated patella that could, if left, cause potentially severe
bleeding to the extent that if it were not treated, the leg itself was
at risk.

So "life threatening" to the life in the leg, perhaps, maybe?

over-egging.


It's the same emergency call for limb threatening or life threatening, the
lack of pshycic abilities on the part of a call centre makes it pointless
differentiating.
