- Mitchell Taylor, from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, immediately called for an ambulance when he realized his mum, Lauren, was poorly, and proceeded to follow instructions from our 999 call handler to carry out a stroke test. This is that phone call.
Okay but _a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua_
What a combination
N Craft [NEW ACCOUNT] Both some spooky dogs considering how hostile both can be to new people especially the chihuahua
One is cute and one is a killing machine -
The chihuahua
Kinda reminds me of that comic with the little white cat and the veteran army dog
AnimaMike pixie and brutus
@@billieshomies8381 Yeah, that one.
He did a great job on the stroke test
lmao I got you a 666th like :D
Welcome, first time with BTS? Omg right
She*
Squiggles Bar He* OP was talking about the little boy
I'm your 7,000 like xD
Kid: "We've got a German Shepard..."
999 thinks: (The boys can handle that)
Kid: and a Chihuahua.
999 (begins sweating): "Right, so I'm going to need you to put those away for me"
this made me laugh so hard
LMAOOO
Hahahah 😂😂 this comment had me in laughing fits
Chihuahuas are so hypper; -; all they do is run bark sleep and lick and annoy in a good way 😂atleast that's what I can say from me having a mini chihuahua xdd
Underrated comment
Thats a young boy well raised. He knew that when something wasnt right to call, thats amazing.
Yeah any kid would call 999 in an emergency it’s kind of something that everyone knows how to do. However I still applaud him in his calmness in the situation.
@@itspenguin7187 That's not something you're born with, you can't know unless you've been taught
@@finevocalsonly but frankly, most of the kids are taught that. I'd be surprised if I ever heard a child in a modernized country is not taught that
@@gabrielbaumeister2498 exactly, it's just something i know so well
@@finevocalsonlyI never said you were born with it, I said everyone knows how to do it. Keep in mind that I live in the american suburbs so my world views might be wrong :\
Dispatcher had the little boy do a stroke test.
Thanks captain
Didnt know what exactly happen and why the dispatcher asked some weird question (that i never heard of until this video) and as they explaind it at the end i was like oooh!! thank you for explaining also :)
jaelzion ohhhhh thanks
@@callum3743 don't be rude, some people didn't know. Like me.
That's what I was thinking?
I'm 14 and my dad had a stroke a few days ago.. I was there. I was asleep and I woke up to him calling me and my 11 year old brother weakly, he sounded super drunk but I knew something was wrong because my dad doesn't drink. I heard my brother walk into his room and I just heard silence, my dad and brother are crazy, if it was normal they'd be laughing and playing, whatever. I hopped out of bed and I ran into his room, and him saying, 'Help, I can't move my arm!'. Only one side of his mouth was talking. I instantly knew what the fuck was happening, I don't know why I knew, maybe some TV shows I have watched or maybe I researched strokes one time. My brother stood there, with tears flowing from his eyes and I said, 'Oh god! I'm gonna call an ambulance!' I was panicking, trying to hold in my tears but it felt like my whole world had come crashing down. My mum was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour about 5 months ago, and she was in hospital (and she is currently.) I can't lose my dad too. I called the ambulance and told them my dad was having a stroke, they asked similar questions in this video which I answered. They sent an ambulance and I cuddled my dad for a little while, his breath was shaking. I got up and told my brother to stay with my dad while I ran barefoot and in my pyjamas to neighbours we were close with and told them what was happening. The ambulance arrived fast and he was taken away, I said my byes to him and waited in my house crying until my grandparents arrived to take care of me and my brother. My dad is doing fine now, he stayed on call with me for 45 minutes on the phone yesterday and we video called today. It has only been 3 or 4 days and he's doing so well, he still can't move the left side of his body but in his mind he's doing amazing, he's still making jokes and worrying about bills, work etc. But yeah, it was so fucking scary, I'm working my way through it though. Don't know if anyone will read this, but yeah, that's my story :P
I'm so sorry you had to experience that 😦 I hope you and everyone else is doing fine
iHeartStuffedAnimals thank you so much for reading
@@Olivia-yb6rr I'm glad to hear! I think you guys are strong and will get through this! Best of luck 🍀🍀🍀
That is a very scary experience. I hope your family is doing well.
You were so brave in that situation, I’m glad your dad is doing better, I hope both your parents will be in better conditions soon
For those wondering, the phrase "The early bird catches the worm" is preferred as it stretches all the muscle groups in the mouth, in case not all of them are affected.
In fact, I WAS wondering about the use of that particular phrase. Thanks for that pearl of wisdom.
I need to know a proper phrase in Spanish then 🤔
@@sofiaruhh300 yo también quiero saber xd
Sofía Gh it can be any simple sentence, you just wanna make sure that they can repeat it without messing up their words because people with strokes can have slurred speech or struggle with words and conversation.
@@2eleven48 ? I dont get your comment. Whats so hard about that sentence?
The boy was raised very well. But can we give some credit to The dispatcher!?
gerry bigbe to be fair that’s his job but yeah he was very good
The dispatcher was fantastic, but it is what he's trained to do. The boy had no training...
Definitely. Mine was invaluable when I called them when my 4 month old was struggling to breath, she had an ambulance with us within minutes.
For what? Doing his job? There's a bunch of other dispatchers who dont get recognized and/or appreciated once the police arrives.
Violet you’d be surprised how 911 operators act and their supposed to be trained it’s quite sad to hear
He literally shaved sacred minutes off his mum's diagnosis, and the team was able to go in knowing pretty much what to expect. That's beyond wonderful. What a brave helper he was!
ikr, man is exceptional at his job
definitely, it is immediate obvious to them that it's a damage in the right hemisphere, possible SCI
they can organize the required tools to handle her without hurting her neck, without needing to confirm it first
I want to like this but it’s at 666 likes...
Young man may grow into a good EMT or policeman, he seems to have that calmness that is needed.
When I heard the “can she smile on both sides equally?” No
I was like oh shit.
That's when I knew she had a stroke.
Same here
I know someone who had a stoke and his whole side of his face doesn't move so when he smiles its only on one side.
pamela the rambla same here! I saved my grandma once on a sezer
@@pamelatherambla3000 or bells palsy. Which is why the rest of the checks are needed.
This gentleman who answered the emergency call could teach scumbags here in thr U.S how to properly help someone in an emergency case
US version:
911: Whats your emergency?
--Hi my mom can't talk and shes crying
911: Put your mom on the phone
--She cant -- she can't talk
911: Where are you?
--At home
911: Whos with you?
--My mom
911: Put her on the phone

HannsGruber I’m dying 😂😂😂 but literally though
@@HannsGruber 😂😂😂😂
I don't know where in the US you live, but I'm very grateful for the dispatcher who got me help when I had a heart attack several years ago. My son (who was 19 at the time) called, and they were very helpful and professional and got the ambulance to my house quickly. They were part of the team that saved my life, and I'm thankful for them.
littlepinkhousefly not all dispatchers are the same, but mostly it has been seen that US dispatchers are very lazy. It’s good that you were lucky enough to get a good help from the dispatcher, but not all people are able to get that.
This kid was so calm and articulate. Mama's raising him right.
It's a very British thing though. They aren't as dramatic as Americans.
@@UCCJGUY it really isn't nation specific, trust me, i call and bug people for a living 😅
As a kid, at school, we're taught at that age to stay calm.
this is completely off topic but their accent is so calming to me and I’m not sure why
y’all ugly by any chance are you American? 😂
Verity Wilcox yep lmfao
It's British, if you ask.
cha cha real smooth it’s from Bolton (English)
@@veritywilcox9960 not only Americans - it's pretty enjoyable for me too, though im not from America:P
It's amazing how quick the dispatcher's judgement is about her mum having a stroke
Those are obvious signs of a stroke, mom was lucky to have such obvious symptoms otherwise he might not have been able to judge it this quick which could have lead to the death of her.
Also a tip:
If someones having a stroke or heart attack give them at least 300mg aspirin immediately.
Make sure that they chew it otherwise it wont work fast enough
Side note: Aspirin can be dangerous in case of a hemmorhage
@Emocaide never heard of FAST. Do you care to explain?
@Emocaide oh okay makes sense. Thanks
Lot of trainng
@@JANICKGMO_ shouldn't give aspirin for a potential stroke. You don't know if it's a haemmorhagic stroke, or a (thrombosis/embolism) blood clot stroke.
If it's haemorrhagic, you could cause more damage.
But for a heart attack, yes. Aspirin under the tongue.
If anyone is ever in a situation where they need to do a stroke test we’re actually taught in Lifeguarding not to tell the victim to raise their arms. This is so they don’t panic if they see that they can’t lift an arm up. Instead hold both their hands and tell them to squeeze your hand as hard as they can, it’s the same test and will give you the same results without stressing the victim out more.
how can sqeezing your hands give you the right reading , hands above head .
@@kittylogan9006 if one of the patient's hand can't squeeze your hand it would tell you that they can't control that part of the body (without the patient freaking out about the fact that they can't move that part of the body).
And some of us have arthritis or frozen shoulders.
@@kittylogan9006 its the motor control centre in the brain that's affected contralaterally, any muscle on one side of the body opposite the brain lesion would be affected lol
That actually makes sense and I like that they care about the patients' feelings :) (might just be that an anxious person is harder to work with but still I think it's a kind gesture to switch the arm test to this)
Who the hell would thumbs down this amazing kid?!?

Wow, what a talented young boy... He deserves an award for sure. Well done to you all.
how is he talented for calling 999 and asking his mum questions
The same way a new born is talented if it can lift its head. It isn't that difficult a task for somebody who has experience dealing with tragedies in life, but for an 8 year old child it's a little different. The fact that he could keep calm enough to carry out the stroke test I imagine is quite a rare skill for an 8 year old.

Kewana Nedd that’s what you think not every kid is like that
But can we talk about how great the dispatcher was, as well? He kept Mitchell calm and walked him through all the steps in the stroke test. And Mitchell did fantastically!
As a stroke survivor, I ask everyone to share this.
Seconds count.
I was lucky, I'm still here.
Not all strokes have all these symptoms, mine had none of these three.
Journey of a Lifetime what is it like? I don’t fully understand what a stroke is
Which symptoms did you have?
kidan yefru there are 2 types - 1. a blood clot blocks blood coming into your brain
2. usually happens when the blood clot is removed and the blood that has been blocked flows right into your brain and the brain starts to drown. a damaged blood vessel in brain can also cause it if it cracks
luuna and if the blood clot reaches the brain it can turn into an entirely different problem too. Cerebral haemorrhaging or an aneurysm can occur then.
Story, if you don’t mind? Apologies if it’s too insensitive

Is it just me or are the british way more calm in a situation like this then in other countries? (this is not meant to be offensive to anyone I swear.)
Edit: Holy crap I forgot I even commented on this- thanks for the likes oml!
No you're not being offensive. Out of all of the British 999 calls I have heard none of them had crying in them.
n Germany these calls are not available to the public to protect the privacy of the people involved but as far as the US versus the UK is concerned.. UK citizens do seem calmer.

Damn, I cried too
Instant stroke procedure that shows the level of training of being able to interpret someone not talking and crying as a possible stroke within seconds
My grandpa got a stroke when me (10 years at the time) and my little sister (9 years then) were sleeping over for the night. It was a really sad experience, and I was told to stay with my grandpa while my grandma called 112 (the emergency phone number in Sweden). Sadly, he didn't survive the stroke and died during the night a few days later in the hospital. I never got to say goodbye to my grandpa before he passed, as it happened so quickly. The last thing he said though before passing away was my grandma's name - she was the love of his life and meant everything to him. Perhaps if I had learnt the signs earlier I could've acted quicker, or at least done _something_ , but things are the way they are. I'm glad that it ended better for other people at least though. Hugs to everyone watching this video!
sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss...
Det var inte ditt fel. Man kan inte förvänta sig att en 10 åring ska känna igen tecknen på en stroke.
Jag beklagar verkligen och är så ledsen för er skull. ❤️ Men kom ihåg att det inte var ditt fel, när man är 10 är det helt naturligt att inte veta vad tecknen för en stroke är. ❤️ Jag är säker på att du gjorde ditt allra bästa och att din farfar/morfar var stolt över dig. ❤️❤️❤️
Engla Himla Aww I’m so sorry for your loss D:
Imagine what’s going through her mind as she realizes she’s having a stroke and only her young kids are with her. My heart goes out to the family!! I hope the kid is proud of himself.
Like my brother when he saved my dads life when he was like 9 years old when my dad had a heart attack and he called an ambulance. He stayed home from school that day because he had stomach pain and i'm not sure anymore if that was a coincidence. I was 5 when shit happened and i don't remember most things so glad my brother was at home. My dad is alive and he's doing good. (Even when the doctor told my mother that we should enjoy this christmas (2005) because it would be our last christmas together. Well he's still alive 2020, bitch! 😂)
I didn't want to talk over it this long so i'm sorry x) i'm not having any trauma and my dad is doing good :) thx for reading
Cool
Lord be with y'all ♥️
that's a pretty epic story, glad to hear your dad is doing good. stay healthy out there
the operator and the kid really did a good job.
"ACTING FAST IF SOMEONE IS HAVING A STROKE COULD SAVE THERE LIFE"
fast is actually the pneumonic for how to diagnose and what to do in a stroke
F - face have they slumped on one side of the face
A - arms can they raise and maintain both arms
S - speach are they having troubles speaking
T - t time to call 999 if you or someone is expiriancing 1 or more of theese symptoms
*mnemonic
Time is actualy to write the time it happened
T is for writing down the time in which it happened
Legend27 it can mean both, the version I’ve seen is “time to call for help”
James Liggins it’s *pneumonic
Damn there's a reason for the "keep calm and carry on" thing w/the Brits! Well done!
I think some of America's operators could learn a few things from how exemplary both handled it. Amazing to both.
So much respect for the emergency services, it’s amazing how calm they stay.
For an 8 year old boy he was very calm, didn't cry, didn't panic, and listened to the operator. Only 8 years old!
Indeed. The boy's ability to follow instructions may have lessened the impact of the stroke by allowing the EMTs not to have to waste time with diagnostics.
Imagine having a stroke and having your young son come down and you being unable to speak.
She was probably so upset because she realized she was going to die.
That's so scary to think about.
That kid is brilliant for knowing what to do and realizing something was wrong.
It's amazing how calm he was and the dispatcher .
Wow this kid is seriously amazing! I actually had the same situation happen to me when I was 15 with my dad, we were the only ones at home and I was in my room when I heard my dad calling me... I went to the living room and found him on the floor with his left side paralyzed... And I was a crying mess while calling for the ambulance and my mom... Not half as calm as this kid! It's honestly a terrifying experience to have... I still remember how they came and took him and the 20 minutes that we were waiting for the ambulance.
A way better dispatcher than the 911 calls I’ve heard in America!
The moment that kids says his mum just fall and started crying, i know that the lady is having a stroke. Very good job for this kid calmly and bravely calling 999 to help his mum.

What a smart young boy! I know his mom is so proud. How quickly he responded most definitely saved her life and he was so calm and collected about it, promptly asking the questions and not hesitating a second! Absolutely amazing!!
for those of you who don’t know, the boy’s mom was having a stroke. the things the dispatcher said to do are tests for a stroke. to remember the signs and symptoms of a stroke, remember the acronym FAST
F- facial drooping (one side of the face is not equal with the other side)
A- arm weakness (one arm is weaker than the other)
S- speech difficulty (having trouble saying simple phrases such as “the early bird gets the worm” or “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”)
T- time (if the person presents with some or all of these signs and symptoms, it’s time to call emergency services IMMEDIATELY. the faster a stroke patient gets to the hospital, the better)
Time stands for noting the time symptoms started, which helps diagnosis. Obviously, do call immediately, but that's not what the T represents. Always note the time it started.
I really like the dispatchers voice it’s very calming ;-;
What a great 999 operator. 👍
I'm 24 and still scare of talk to any call center or helpline instead rather choose messaging. Kudos to that kid!

He did an amazing job bless his littel heart 💕😭
I cried so much listening to this it took me back to when I was 14 in 8th grade home alone with my dad waiting for him to feel better to go get my mom a Mother’s Day gift and he dropped right infront of me and that was it he just seized and died in my arms on the bathroom floor this was over ten years ago and Iam still not ok stupid strokes
Something similar happened to me, a lot longer than ten years ago and it still haunts me. It is important that you understand that there is nothing you could have done, it is not your fault in any way.
You will never be 'OK,' but you can put that horrible memory in its place and stop it causing you to make decisions that are not best for you. I would strongly suggest talking to a therapist about it, if you haven't done so; sharing the scar with someone you know will not help you put it in context and it has the potential to cause you a lot of pain down the road, without outside help.
I understand what you have gone through, and the many others who have been a witness to such events. Happy Christmas, God bless you and keep you safe.
So sorry for your loss. Sending much love ❤
Give this kid a fucking medal! They fucking earned it.

I remember when my grandma had a stoke, so glad she's still here with me today.
Wow! The operator was very clear with his words and made sure the little boy understood. Very experienced at his job and if it was a different operator the mother may have not made it.
That kid is very well spoken for his age
My mom just had a stroke 2 weeks ago, I'm proud of this boy. Really, every second matters..
Hope your mom is okay now, my mom had a stroke 10 years ago when I was a teenager. She's okay nowadays, just tired sometimes and sleeps alot❤❤
These make me so happy to know little kids have big minds! :) I hope his mum gets better
love the way children add their pets on!
What a brilliant man to have for a son. Well done.
Props to the kid but also props to the guy, he did a really good job calmly instructing.
Only in Britain can everyone be so calm during a seizure, big up boris
Omg, he's 8 years old! He's so smart and stayed so calm! Omg...
What a good little boy! So brave how he didnt panic at all and knew to call 999. Raised right!
An intelligent well raised kid and the wonderful NHS.. Have recently had good cause to use the ambulance service and the NHS.. I am in awe of how wonderful they were.. In these testing times please give respect and thanks to the wonderful work they do
I love my county Britain for how calm hey r in some situations like phone calls for 999 not for road traffic
Not those who comment online for the Daily Mail. They can be wild.
This is just amazing. In our country the patient will probably be gone when the ambulance arrives ....

You were brilliantly amazing, beautiful clear andwers to the controllers questions, and nice and calm whilst you looked after your mum
You helped save her life, and that's for sure.
She must be SO proud of you, and I don't ofcourse know what you want to be later on when you grow up completely, but I think that you'd make a
FABULOUS doctor.
Well done you.
Why are listeners questioning the number 999?
999 was the 1st ever emergency number in 1937. In the UK. other countries have different numbers too.
No idea. Hahahaha, in Brazil is 190, for example.
@@ErniLandia I'm American and I can agree, I'm surrounded by idiotic capitalist who think they're the center of the world and they have to be right because they saw it on TV once or watched one documentary back in high school

@@bella.m266 that is the emergancy number of most europe
helpmeineedagoodusername bouncybouncy yeah ik
This 999 operator is way more competent than any 911 operator I've ever spoken to. I hope that my experience is unusual and that this gets a flood of comments disagreeing.
My mum had a stroke march last year. It wasn't a major one and I'm an adult. The standard stroke test showed normal, but it was the other signs that caused me to suspect. She was high risk for heart attack or stroke so I'd always been watching out. One of her legs was stiff and weak. Had a hard time moving it. On the same side she had pins and needles. She often gets p&n from stress but along with the leg it worried me. She could raise her arms fine, but when I asked he to do legs she couldn't. She's very stubborn so I said about calling an ambulance but she said it was just stress. So I said lets at least call 111 (the non-emergency and advice number), to see what they say.
They sent an ambulance.
While waiting, I noticed she was pretty tired, not quite with it, which concerned me more. In the ambulance I tried lightening the mood with a joke, but she didn't understand I was even telling her one. She always laughed at my jokes.
What was rather scary about this situation, was she was over at my sisters house when she started getting these symptoms. My sister didn't connect it to stroke at all. So if I hadn't been there when she got home, the stroke could have gotten much worse, causing severe brain damage or even death. Lucky the damage wasn't too bad. She couldn't move around much for a long time (had physical therapy) and she's lost some memory. She also doesn't understand some things like she used to. But it could have been so much worse.
I feel the symptoms of stroke need to be made more aware to the public. It's not just speech, smile and arms. There are other signs for small strokes to the earliest signs of the major ones.
Yes, my mum had a series of mini strokes that had similar effects but didn't show the classic stroke symptoms. It's not easy to diagnose them. My mum lost a lot of her memory too.
911 calls be like
kid: my dad has been run over by A car
991: what colour is the headlight?
Goldenlamaboi its to distract the kid instead of waiting
no it's a stroke test
Exactly, that’s 911 calls. 999 calls the operator actually knows how to speak to people and solve a situation.
max1072 True
The color is red. Prob from my dads guts splattered on it
As a former 911 dispatcher it's super important to keep calm like he was doing and staying on the line with the child until a crew got there. NEVER leave a child alone until someone gets there.
Renee Lauzon, thank you for that information. I think being a 911/999 dispatcher must be an emotionally difficult job even though you know you are helping people. Thank you, and blessings to you.
Damn 2 minutes. If you do this in America you’ll have to wait 10+ minutes and the person would likely die by then.
And it’s free here too
Tabitha Domino That’s an important part.
Myrm Ants Nope, all costs money.
@Myrm Ants I believe they dispatch an ambulance immediately and take care of the patient before money is even thought about. The ambulance cost is taken care of with the hospital bills after the patient has either been released or has passed. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
Wtf? You PAY for an emergency service? How does that make any sense?
Well done Mitchell. You were braver than I would be.
These effects hit me once and they thought I was having a stroke turns out it was just a hmmipligic migraine

@@emetrxgaming3480 it doesn't take einstein to figure out "OH HAHA IT MEANS AUSTRALIAS UPSIDE DOWN!" this joke's been around for years - ever since the thumbs down button existed. it's not the pinnacle of originality and humour. catch yourself the fuck on mate.
I get it. Down under. Cute.
I’m an aussie and it took me a sec to get that, which is sad because i never have issues with jokes lmao
poor boy didn't even realize the danger his mum was in. He was too calm. But it also helped for him to be that calm even though he might've not completely understood the situation. smart kid...
Oh god when they started the test I was like "Jesus she's having a stroke- cOME ON-" I'm currently taking Emergency Procedures and it was making me have anxiety when it took so long xD
They probably directed an ambulance pretty early into the call, especially since the kid was 8 and likely didn't have anyone else to rely on. They had him do the FAST test to help gather history to send to the crew and possibly change priority if they weren't already dispatched as lights and sirens. But also, it kept him on the phone and gave the kid something to do other than wait and stress out (even though he was really calm anyway!). I doubt they waited for him to finish the test before sending out a truck!
When a kid calls saying his mom isnt well, Im pretty sure they send an ambulance right away... but with more info, It calmed the kid down and they had more information.
@Rosida Andriyana Lol, I speak American English... and this is an american website. Either mom or mum are right.
As a trainee paramedic, they definitely sent help pretty early on but doing this will 1) help to keep the kid on the phone in case the stroke worsened
2) check that it is definitely a stroke
Ambulance are usually sent as soon as 10 seconds into a call because the first thing you usually hear is "x is inconscious" "y can't breath" etc and if a child is calling... You always send someone. Always.
well done, what a brave boy!
British dispatchers always sound so calm and kind
Boy: Mummy is crying...
School: put some ice on that.
US VERSION:
Kid: my mom she’s not okay-
Officer: How old are you?
Kid: eight-
Officer: don’t prank call me. I have better things to do.
*hangs up*
*mom dies*
US VERSION:
Kid: my mom she’s not okay-
Officer: Do you have insurance?
Kids: What are inshashans?
Officer: Sorry, bye. *hangs up*
Actively embrace the social disgrace of your own country and you integrate it into your humour. How miserable
He's really calm which is incredible. I was 11 when I had to call 911 for my mom and I was crying so hard. Hope his mom is alright.
Dear Americans:
THIS PHONE CALL TAKES PLACE IN BRITAIN! THE EMERGENCY SERVICE’S NUMBER IN BRITAIN IS 999!!!! IT WAS ESTABLISHED 1937!!!!! DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS E.G. IN MOST OF EUROPE ITS 112 I THINK!!! IN AMERICA AND CANADA ITS 911!!! GOT IT????? GOOD!!!!
