Somebody called the ambulance in the scene where Sherlock gets shot. We are lead to believe that it was Mary, but Mary never actually confirms or denies this herself. Sherlock assumes it was Mary because the average ambulance response time in London is 8 minutes and John didn’t find Sherlock and call an ambulance until a few minutes before the ambulance arrived. So it couldn’t have been John according to Sherlock. I’m not sure how Sherlock knows this since he was unconscious when John found him, but I’m going to assume that John told him or something like that. Some people theorize that it could have been very easy for Sherlock to have been mistaken since he was going into shock, and waning in and out of consciousness, so the ambulance John called could arrived right when it should have and Sherlock merely miscalculated the time. Others say that it’s possible that there happened to be an ambulance nearby, or that the building could have been located near an ambulance station, or the traffic that night could have been exceptionally light when John called, so therefore the ambulance John called would have gotten there earlier than expected. But I don’t think it was Mary or John who phoned the ambulance that saved Sherlock’s life. I think it was Magnussen. Look at the following pictures from the scene. Here Magnussen is looking up at Mary to see if she is paying any attention to him.

She’s not paying attention to him, so he slowly leans down and grabs for something on the floor, and for at least the next 8 or 9 seconds he’s not looking at Mary or Sherlock. He looks back up right after Mary fires the bullet. In a hostage situation like this I highly doubt anyone would look away from the person with the gun or the person being held at gunpoint, unless they had a damn good reason to. People in such situations describe themselves as being completely immobilized and unable to look away from the heart of the action. So I don’t think he was glancing and leaning down because he was wondering if he remembered to polish his shoes that morning, or because he was bored and the spot on the carpet to his left was more fascinating than the scene going on in front of him. No no. He was definitely reaching for something that he thought would be crucial, something worth grabbing even at the risk of being caught by Mary.

So he goes for it in the moment when Mary is entirely distracted by Sherlock. And looky looky. When the camera angle changes, right after Mary shoots Sherlock, we can see something that definitely looks like a mobile phone on the floor next to him. RIGHT WHERE HE WAS REACHING! He probably dialled emergency services and then just left the phone on so they could track his location. Or maybe he had some kind of emergency button on speed-dial because he is a professional blackmailer and has a lot of enemies who would want him dead. Either way he uses his phone to call an ambulance for Sherlock. Mary probably had him take his phone out of his pocket and place on the floor when she first came in and held him at gunpoint, so that he couldn’t do just that, phone for help!

A Florida woman used the comments section of a Pizza Hut order made from her smartphone to alert authorities that she and her children were being held hostage. When police responded to her message, arriving at the location, she and her children were quickly released, unharmed, and the kidnapper was arrested. [x]
