At the risk of deviating slightly (no pun intended), could Scott or Mike or someone explain the difference between declaring an "emergency" and a "medical emergency" please. The only other category of emergency I have heard of in the US is a "fuel emergency". Could you tell me if there are any more types I should know about and if a similar situation had occured to me in my UK registered aeroplane and I had used the terms "Pan Pan" or "Mayday" would I have been wrong or just "less correct"?

I am only asking so if this sort of thing happens to me I get it right on the day. Thanks in advance.
