My dad hung himself 3 years ago and I found him. I will never forget the ambulance woman I spoke to on the phone, she was absolutely amazing. I wish I could say thank you Edit: thank you all for your messages. Obviously it was very traumatic, and still is very traumatic and I’m still learning to live with it going through therapy etc. I have my down days but I’m doing much better.

One of the toughest 999 calls I ever had was a 17 year old boy who'd been found hanging by his 9 year old sister. Devastating. So much respect for EMDs and the work they do before ambulance crews arrive. I'm now frontline ambulance, those CPR jobs we couldn't do it without you!
omg no child should have to see that the poor girl will have that image of her big brother on a rope in her head for the rest of her life! Absolutely heartbreaking
I was an EMD for the LAS. One of my worst calls when I was on the 9's was a hanging. A mum, on Christmas Eve, found by her son. I was absolutely broken after that call. I had to go home. Won't ever forget the dad sobbing to me down the phone. Haunts me to this day.
Oh bless you! I still work at my service so I’m not gunna say where I am but I get your emotions I really do! It’s the toughest call I’m had and not long after Christmas too for me so it’s so much harder! Especially since we work the Christmas period meaning we are often quite isolated then too if we live alone since travel home isn’t possible, at least for me it wasn’t 😔 But bless you!

My fiancé hung himself in 2015; he was 24, I was 21 at the time. I found him when I came home from work one day. I was a 911 dispatcher at the time, but you can never prepare yourself for these things happening to you. I wasn't able to turn him over on his back from how he was positioned, so I couldn't perform CPR, but I remember the dispatcher being incredible and keeping me calm until the ambulance arrived. Thank you so much, dispatchers, for being on the front line of every emergency. We need you!! ❤️❤️
@@onderguler8879 unfortunately, he didn't make it. The paramedics were on scene within minutes and did CPR on him for 26 minutes...the longest they've ever done, apparently. They really tried to bring him back. The hardest part was having to tell his mother. That's the only thing that has really stayed with me 7 years later - the rest I can cope with. RIP Josh. ❤️
my mum died this way in 2022. I hated every minute of having to cut her down and drag her to a place she could be flat on her back. performing cpr with her eyes open. most awful time of my life. I so grateful that the paramedics arrived within 8 minutes

@@moneymanifestation9505 i'll make sense then; she done her job exactly as she should've. she said she panicked upon hearing the news that it was now her job to talk someone through resuscitating a person. one who had been found in such a traumatising state too. i'm sure anyone with a heart wouldve. she IS brave for this job as she put her panic and emotions aside to communicate effectively and calm down to help another person. so yes, we should pay more attention to her and dispatchers, paramedics, first responders etc.
This clip is very personal to me. My mother committed suicide when I was a child. My father had to perform cpr. This was years before cell phones. He was running back and forth between the house phone and the front yard. When he was outside I put my ear on the phone and listened to the 911 operators talking. The girl was so overwhelmed that she had her supervisor take over. These brave folks may not be paramedics but they are the very first responders and they are some of the bravest people in the world for doing what they do. Bless them all. Peace and love.
The dispatcher who was on the phone with me whiel I was trying to revive my father when I was 21. I don’t know who she is, or how she’s doing, but she was there with me on the worst night of my life, and I never knew her name. These people do incredible work and never get enough credit. So much love to our EMTs, dispatchers and ambulance crews. They’re there for us no matter what.
as a frontline crew I’ve always said I could never work in the call centre, being on scene is easy, you feel like you can get stuck in and hands on, being at the end of the phone you can feel helpless. Dispatchers and call handlers don’t realise just how much difference they make and just how much they truly do help. They manage horrendous scenes without physically being there, they really are heroes
I feel the same way. Going on my 12th year as a Paramedic in Canada. I feel for our communications officers. They can only hear. We smell, taste, touch, etc. I squabble with them over the radio from time to time, but I respect their work. Angels in our eardrums.
I've always wondered if the helplessness would outweigh my ability to fee like I was doing the best I could for the caller in the moment... I still err on the side of wanting to be there in person.
I survived a hanging attempt in late 2018 😅 No one in my family knows to this day. Watching this didn’t feel good. I’m glad I didn’t end up putting anyone through this. Really really glad
I rem this episode like it was yesterday. This girl was amazing. She said at the end she had been accepted onto her paramedic training. 🎉 I wish her all the luck in the world she'll do great. X
Canadian Paramedic here. I can't imagine how hard it is to be a dispatcher. Working the call over the phone, not being physically there to help. Respect.
And to think there are people out there who scream and shout abuse at these wonderful human beings, who are passionate about the job they do and their only goal is to help the people on the other end in the phone. I openly cry every time I see this clip, I don’t mind admitting. To see this kind, compassionate young lady break down trying to help the person on the phone is heartbreaking. You are all absolute angels and I thank the lord there are people on this planet like you. x x x
Listen, I’m not gonna say it’s cool to scream and yell at 911 dispatchers or paramedics, but I am saying that they are the most likely people you’re gonna run into when you’re in a situation so bad that even the purest, sweetest people will become monsters. If I found my loved one hanging, I would not be inclined to be polite to anyone, trying to help or not.
As someone who lives with severe mental illness I could easily be the person that is found, but seeing this video and knowing that a simple act of kindness can save my life I am eternally grateful for those that put their hearts on the line to be there for me, I will never stop believing in hope 💙💗
I think the fact you have written this comment, shows us you don't really want to go down that road. To see the ripple effect on the people who have never even met this person, is harrowing. Keep going and ASK for help, when you need it. I have suffered from bad depression and I think if most people are honest, they have issues too. They just hide it. You got this.
@@denisedaly2307 They're are some charities to reach out to. Nobody is ever truly alone. We're all connected somehow. The fact that I replied to you shows there's someone out there thinking of you and wishing you happiness.
@@denisedaly2307 I'm sorry to hear this Denis. Even having a family can be no safety net. There are charities you can turn to, although i know it might be hard as they are so busy. However even a workmate etc might provide some support. I once told my boss, I was seriously concerned about him. He isnt a pleasant man but I could see something was going on. He sort of ridiculed me, then left. He later phoned me and said he was in a bad place and thank you. I spoke to his wife a few days later. She said after I had spoken to him, he had called and bawled his eyes out. They knew he was in a bad way but did nothing about it. After talking to me, he actually realised something had to change. My point is, it wasnt easy confronting him as he was my boss but I have been there and recognised the signs. Sometimes the people around you, do actually know the feelings you have experienced. Even reach out to forums online. I have a chronic illness and am a member of Health unlocked. It has so many different subject matters and there are some great people there. Strangers to me but people who have given me great emotional and practical support. You are stronger than you think. Stay safe my friend.
There is so little humanity left in the world, too preoccupied by their worries and fears, anger, dispare, frustration, ego, greed and loathing that this lady and her colleagues remind us that there are still humans in the mix, that without them we would fall, with them so many can become so much better. My life has been saved so many times by these humans who regardless of their difficulties are willing to step forward and bring us to the light, my deep respects to them and anyone whose chooses to make a difference, ❤😊
Lovely to see that support is there for the call handlers. She doesn't interrupt but is there for support if needed. It has it's many struggles but the NHS is a godsend
As a Fire/EMS Dispatcher I've been in that same seat having to hear someone's cries for help. You can never forget them! Dispatchers/Call Takers are often heard but never seen or recognized.
You're the best Kizzie ❤ God sees what you're doing. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40
You disassociate, it's an absolute nesserery, you have zero clue of the horrific circumstances ambulance and firefighters work through. Being "warm" is the least of the cross they have to bear.
@@danrichards9823yeah.... Don't worry the country is destroying itself so everybody can f ING suffer bollocks to everyone. That's the attitude nowadays.
I'm a nurse. When I did my first stint in a cardiac critical care unit a patient I was discharging suddenly had a heart attack while we were giggling at a joke together, standing right in front of me. obviously I went into emergency mode and called the crash team and got him onto a bed so we could perform on him, but inside my head was screaming and I wanted to yell and cry but couldn't. My team was great and we all said a prayer for him and hugged each other after we couldn't get any life back and we were allowed to talk about our feelings together before we went home from shift, but I just felt really weird. As soon as I left my shift that day I bawled my eyes out for him and his family while walking to my car and felt like I should have done more CPR or should have told him not to be standing up sooner. You never forget it. This was 10 years ago and I still remember his face and the colour of the walls and the people who came to help. I can't imagine having to take these emergency calls all day every day and not knowing the outcome. It's so hard. This girl is wonderful, I feel blessed our country has compassionate people like her in it 💜 I just hope her soul is ok too
Nurses are amazing, more than most understand. My better half is a nurse who is the kindest, softest soul deep down, yet she has seen so much and helped so much. She also had, whilst on her ward, two cardiac arrests, three strokes and two PEs - and it was her team and those around who saved her life despite near impossible odds, with her heart not beating on its own for 90 minutes. I had to say goodbye to her. Yet, nearly 5 years later, she is now my wife and expecting a child. She will never be well as such, and she may well live a lot fewer years than I want - and this pregancny terrifies me (but she wanted it with all hear heart - though I have two by someone else and am a decade older!) - but to be here at all, where we are, after this, was a testament to the unbelievable work she and her fellow healthcare professionals do. I am in awe of her and of you, @Chellowie.
This is hard to watch. As someone who attempted both at 14 and 15. Every day I’m so glad it didn’t work. It’s been 5 years since the last one and I have made so many happy memories. Met the love of my life and am planning to get married. It doesn’t stay dark. Yeah there’s some rough days but never to a point where I’d consider it again. You just have to push through and remember there’s help out there if you need it because there is someone who loves you (even if you don’t think there is) who would be completely lost without you.
"It doesn't stay dark" What a beautiful thing to hear. I wish you and your family nothing but the best wishes from the other side of this world wide web. Thank you for this phrase
I work for London Underground and the first one under I had as a station assistant was completely traumatising. Even the big burly men I worked with were in tears that day. I don't think I could work for the emergency services, it's absolutely amazing what they do. She handled that really well.
I doubt many people consider or realize just how much stress the emergency operators are under. It takes a special type of person to do that job well and keep the callers calm and focused in the face of unimaginable trauma and duress. I could never do that job, seeing this makes me respect those who do this job well.
I lost my dad in this way when I was 18 and it’s breaks my heart everytime I hear anything like this 😞 so much love to our dispatchers, we need to protect them at all costs! They are the ones there for us in such difficult situations and have to deal with this on a day to day basis xx
Man this was moving, the girls emotional touched my soul and bless her for being what we all need to be - feeling - compassionate - a beautiful spirit in a wonderful woman.
Respect and love to all the emergency response staff worldwide. Doesn't matter if you are a dispatcher, boots on ground or a phone operator, you see some of the worst things in this world and still serve your communities through thick and thin.
I've been there - spent so much time crying on the phones - I'll never forget the years I worked for the ambulance service - she handled the call so well!
When my Dad passed the lady on the phone to me was amazing too. As were the paramedics. Its a horrible situation and at the time my brain was too all over the place to fully appreciate the amazing job they do. They are the real heroes, not footballers, not musicians, our first responders ❤
I had to give CPR to a man i found in the street the other day. The woman on the phone was incredible, encouraging and kept everyone calm on loudspeaker. They are angels 💖
@d a r l i n g J o I guess we have different value systems then. You are right, maybe this won’t help anyone. But maybe it will help just one person. That’s what matters to me, not the fact that it supposedly makes me feel better. A little kindness can go a long way and I stand by that :). I hope you can understand that one day too.
Emergency operators don’t get anywhere near enough credit for what they have to do. Not all heroes wear capes. This Woman, these people, need to be some of the highest paid in their countries.
It's such an incredibly difficult job to work emergency services dispatch. I could never do it and I am forever grateful for the people who can. They are heroes
The year and a half that I spent on an ambulance crew changed me for forever. In a small California town we had 4 SIDS deaths and I caught all of them. It was a record year for that and CPR calls. I will never forget the sound a mother makes when she has lost her baby. Movies and tv shows can trigger flash backs and anxiety like nothing else. And in those moments I remember my triumphs. Like my first CPR call ever was a save or the people I helped. Like my class mate who was almost beaten to death on Halloween night and I helped save his life. Things like that balance out the pain that comes with the job.
Gosh this is so so so hard!!! I’m a call handler in the UK too (but a different location) and I just had my first hanging recently and the friend did CPR for so long god bless her and it was just the toughest call 🥺 I’m so grateful to have been able to help that friend in some way to know she did absolutely everything she could for both the patient and her partner in that moment and it honestly makes me so emotional how proud I am of her! It still doesn’t quite register in my brain sometimes though that the patient died, you know? And other times it’s so real it hurts! Anyway I know how hard it is to not get overwhelmed by emotions in those calls, especially once you’ve got them going on CPR and all you can do is encourage this person who you can’t see or take over compressions for or really do much except wait and listen and that’s when not crying becomes hardest for me because it’s quieter and you’ve don’t all your jobs except keeping CPR going so your brain has time to think for the first time! 😔🥺 Anyway my prayers to anyone who has to deal with this whether a family member or friend who finds them or knows them, the call handler who’s the first to hear their heartbreak, fear and pain, or the paramedics who work so hard to do what they can and who have to see and do what none of us can imagine! It’s the one blessing of a difficult job like this, that I never have a face to haunt me, only the sounds (which are hard but so much better I imagine that images) 😔❤️❤️❤️
I'm a nurse, but just wanted to say thank you for everything you do as a call handler, you do a job that I wouldn't have the guts to do after many years of being in my profession. Make sure you always look after yourself after those tough calls and debrief where necessary x
Aw bless you both! I love my job I’ll be honest! I’ve had to cut my hours a bit to allow me to finish my undergraduate degree (in a related field) but I’m excited to get back to more hours again once I pass my endless assignment to do list and exams 😴📚 And yeah the ambulance service is great and it’s honestly like a family! 🥰
I used to take 999 calls - I worked with some of the most amazing people, many of whom are still there. I feel so proud of them. I also feel so, so proud of each of the callers that took action and carried out CPR on either strangers, or their loved ones. Absolute superheroes.
I met someone who does these late night help lines and am so grateful for people like her but at the same time I could tell how much it pained her. Really good on her for doing such a valuable job. Sending my love to all who work in such a rough environment ❤
I agree... its amazing that she's doing that. I'm just curious, what was it that pained her? has she lost people? Or is it more just the emotional demand of the job
These people are incredible. Not the same situation but when I had my second child their was a few complications and I needed an ambulance, the man on the phone was incredible and kept me calm the whole time. They are true heroes.
About not long ago I started having chest pains and a pain down my left arm. I called 999 and they said they would send an ambulance out but unfortunately it was on the day of a paramedic strike and the was a reduced service. They very kindly paid for a taxi for me because I had no money which came almost instantly. They're wonderful people. Luckily it wasn't a heart attack but I do have to be seen by a specialist.
This video really made me realise how much it would affect others around me if I followed through. Not saying I would now but only a few years ago, I was on the verge. Life is worth living, even if it’s just to stick around a little longer so your loved ones don’t suffer too :(
Last year, i paid my respects to the parents and sisters of a young man who committed suicide. Seeing them and hugging them was absolutely heartbreaking. The next day i could barely function at work. Sat at my desk, seeking solace in music. Once you've witnessed that, you won't think of doing that to your family and friends. Btw. I never tried or had actual plans. Just depressed times in life where i thought, why am i even here? What's the use?
Such a incredible emotional Lady, respect Her heart is massively in this job She will be the type of person that Takes her work home with her Can't switch off Thankyou for being so amazing 👏
My sister is a paramedic and the NHS don’t offer enough psychological support, I had to help her process a situation that had an immense impact in her, these organisations really need to think about the human side of these situations and not the numbers.
The government need to put more money into the nhs instead of constantly cutting it..they’re deliberately, systematically, destroying it-people like this girl don’t get paid enough for literally saving lives while the Tories actions over the last few years have literally killed people…she should get paid more, she should have access to counselling 24/7
Tearing up just watching this and if the roles were reversed I certainly wouldn't have the strength to take calls like this. Thank you to all these dispatchers, the unsung heroes who help to save lives.
My Sister Hung Herself In 2016, She Was 12 And I Was 10 At The Time. She Had Been Severely Bullied In Her School And Her School Couldn’t Do Anything About It. She Was Still Alive When We Rushed Her To The Hospital But She Suffered Fatal Injures And She Was Pronounced Dead Minutes Later. She Had Severe Autism And She Was A Huge Liverpool Fan And We Played You’ll Never Walk Alone At Her Funeral I’m Now 18 Years Old And Her Death Haunts Me Forever.
Just shows how much of an incredible job the call handlers and paramedics who work for our NHS do and what they go through every day doing their job to help us.
When I trained to become an emergency medical dispatcher, I was told that there was one type of call that would always have a profound impact on me. I thought it would be the calls involving children or the elderly, but in reality, it was hangings that ended up leaving the most lasting impression on me. It's been 10 years since then, and I still remember every single hanging call I responded to. There's something about the screams of people who discover someone hanging that's etched in my memory forever. It's a truly horrific experience that has stayed with me to this day.
I will never forget my friends dad description of what her face looked like when he found her. 12 years ago and it still haunts me but those words have kept me from doing the same thing more times than I care to count. I am glad I am still here. I just wish she was too. Don't stay quiet. Get help.
I've worked on the frontline for 9 years and witnessed this first hand.. it is a very dark and traumatising experience and the emotions take hold regardless of who you are.. So sad.
Bless her heart ❤ I’m a CSI and have to attend all suicides. It’s truly heartbreaking and I only wish people were more comfortable in expressing their sadness in this profession. We aren’t robots.
One of the most important and under appreciated jobs in the world. I work for the community mental health team myself. People don't realise the emotional toll nhs work can take.
The work these guys do is beyond amazing. I work for the nhs in treating mental health problems. So pretty much the barrier between them being ok and taking their own lives… I’ve heard people at their lowest and it’s heartbreaking knowing that someone is going to take their life. But to be at the otherside when it’s happened n the aftermath.. could break me
This is the image of the true burden of working for the health service. Every single one of them is essential and they all shoulder the good times and the bad. I'm a QA L3 First Aider and it would be very hard for me knowing that I could do so much more if I was there.
Hey, I know I'm just a random internet commenter but I really hope you get some help and are able to heal. You definitely have people who care about you, please reach out to them or to any of the services available, even if it's just to talk.
To all the agents that do this every day I and everyone thank you from the bottom of our hearts this can't be easy but you still do it every day and for that we are eternally great full.

Absolute hero. She should be incredibly proud. Even in such an awful moment she knew she had to keep going.
as a frontline crew I’ve always said I could never work in the call centre, being on scene is easy, you feel like you can get stuck in and hands on, being at the end of the phone you can feel helpless. Dispatchers and call handlers don’t realise just how much difference they make and just how much they truly do help. They manage horrendous scenes without physically being there, they really are heroes
I feel the same way. Going on my 12th year as a Paramedic in Canada. I feel for our communications officers. They can only hear. We smell, taste, touch, etc. I squabble with them over the radio from time to time, but I respect their work. Angels in our eardrums.
Heros in headsets we call them.
I've always wondered if the helplessness would outweigh my ability to fee like I was doing the best I could for the caller in the moment... I still err on the side of wanting to be there in person.
I survived a hanging attempt in late 2018 😅 No one in my family knows to this day. Watching this didn’t feel good. I’m glad I didn’t end up putting anyone through this. Really really glad
Hope life has improved for you.
Ignore her

How did u survive?
I rem this episode like it was yesterday. This girl was amazing. She said at the end she had been accepted onto her paramedic training. 🎉 I wish her all the luck in the world she'll do great. X
did the person live who was trying to be resuscitated on the clip?
@@weatherstationlytovchenko4794 sadly not I don't think
@@kayleet8370 oh dear, thank you for replying
@@weatherstationlytovchenko4794 I think it was young boy
Canadian Paramedic here. I can't imagine how hard it is to be a dispatcher. Working the call over the phone, not being physically there to help. Respect.
Ex-dispatcher here - I don't know how paramedics do it - superheroes!
Amazing young woman with great empathy. Employ more people like this.
I'm.frontline ambulance crew and our dispatches are great. They do the best they can till we get there. Stay strong, stay safe guys xx
And to think there are people out there who scream and shout abuse at these wonderful human beings, who are passionate about the job they do and their only goal is to help the people on the other end in the phone. I openly cry every time I see this clip, I don’t mind admitting. To see this kind,
compassionate young lady break down trying to help the person on the phone is heartbreaking. You are all absolute angels and I thank the lord there are people on this planet like you. x x x
Listen, I’m not gonna say it’s cool to scream and yell at 911 dispatchers or paramedics, but I am saying that they are the most likely people you’re gonna run into when you’re in a situation so bad that even the purest, sweetest people will become monsters.
If I found my loved one hanging, I would not be inclined to be polite to anyone, trying to help or not.
Good on that girl... she stayed in there. An emotional moment for anyone. Big props and big hugs
Makes a bad day at work for me seem so insignificant
As someone who lives with severe mental illness I could easily be the person that is found, but seeing this video and knowing that a simple act of kindness can save my life I am eternally grateful for those that put their hearts on the line to be there for me, I will never stop believing in hope 💙💗
I think the fact you have written this comment, shows us you don't really want to go down that road. To see the ripple effect on the people who have never even met this person, is harrowing. Keep going and ASK for help, when you need it. I have suffered from bad depression and I think if most people are honest, they have issues too. They just hide it. You got this.
I'm also the same but have no family to turn to.
@@denisedaly2307 They're are some charities to reach out to. Nobody is ever truly alone. We're all connected somehow. The fact that I replied to you shows there's someone out there thinking of you and wishing you happiness.
@@denisedaly2307 I'm sorry to hear this Denis. Even having a family can be no safety net. There are charities you can turn to, although i know it might be hard as they are so busy. However even a workmate etc might provide some support. I once told my boss, I was seriously concerned about him. He isnt a pleasant man but I could see something was going on. He sort of ridiculed me, then left. He later phoned me and said he was in a bad place and thank you. I spoke to his wife a few days later. She said after I had spoken to him, he had called and bawled his eyes out. They knew he was in a bad way but did nothing about it. After talking to me, he actually realised something had to change. My point is, it wasnt easy confronting him as he was my boss but I have been there and recognised the signs. Sometimes the people around you, do actually know the feelings you have experienced. Even reach out to forums online. I have a chronic illness and am a member of Health unlocked. It has so many different subject matters and there are some great people there. Strangers to me but people who have given me great emotional and practical support. You are stronger than you think. Stay safe my friend.
Bro chill out it’s not that deep if you feel depressed find something you wanna do and put your life and soul into it
There is so little humanity left in the world, too preoccupied by their worries and fears, anger, dispare, frustration, ego, greed and loathing that this lady and her colleagues remind us that there are still humans in the mix, that without them we would fall, with them so many can become so much better.
My life has been saved so many times by these humans who regardless of their difficulties are willing to step forward and bring us to the light, my deep respects to them and anyone whose chooses to make a difference, ❤😊
There's nothing wrong with having worries and fears. That's something you need in this cruel world.
Lovely to see that support is there for the call handlers. She doesn't interrupt but is there for support if needed. It has it's many struggles but the NHS is a godsend
As a Fire/EMS Dispatcher I've been in that same seat having to hear someone's cries for help. You can never forget them! Dispatchers/Call Takers are often heard but never seen or recognized.
You're the best Kizzie ❤ God sees what you're doing.

Made me tear up unfortunately found my Nan dead, and a couple of years later my dad. 😢the 999 staff were excellent as were the paramedics. RIP both. x
I'm really sorry to hear that. sending all my love
💔💔💔 God bless you and your family
What a lovely girl. I hope she stays like that and doesn’t become cold & heartless like some ambulance people I’ve met.
You have to get like that to keep the job and survive.
You disassociate, it's an absolute nesserery, you have zero clue of the horrific circumstances ambulance and firefighters work through. Being "warm" is the least of the cross they have to bear.
@@danrichards9823yeah.... Don't worry the country is destroying itself so everybody can f ING suffer bollocks to everyone. That's the attitude nowadays.
I'm a nurse. When I did my first stint in a cardiac critical care unit a patient I was discharging suddenly had a heart attack while we were giggling at a joke together, standing right in front of me. obviously I went into emergency mode and called the crash team and got him onto a bed so we could perform on him, but inside my head was screaming and I wanted to yell and cry but couldn't. My team was great and we all said a prayer for him and hugged each other after we couldn't get any life back and we were allowed to talk about our feelings together before we went home from shift, but I just felt really weird. As soon as I left my shift that day I bawled my eyes out for him and his family while walking to my car and felt like I should have done more CPR or should have told him not to be standing up sooner. You never forget it. This was 10 years ago and I still remember his face and the colour of the walls and the people who came to help. I can't imagine having to take these emergency calls all day every day and not knowing the outcome. It's so hard. This girl is wonderful, I feel blessed our country has compassionate people like her in it 💜 I just hope her soul is ok too
You did everything you possibly could to try and save him, please don't ever doubt that. I hope & pray that you know that ❤
Nurses are amazing, more than most understand. My better half is a nurse who is the kindest, softest soul deep down, yet she has seen so much and helped so much. She also had, whilst on her ward, two cardiac arrests, three strokes and two PEs - and it was her team and those around who saved her life despite near impossible odds, with her heart not beating on its own for 90 minutes. I had to say goodbye to her. Yet, nearly 5 years later, she is now my wife and expecting a child. She will never be well as such, and she may well live a lot fewer years than I want - and this pregancny terrifies me (but she wanted it with all hear heart - though I have two by someone else and am a decade older!) - but to be here at all, where we are, after this, was a testament to the unbelievable work she and her fellow healthcare professionals do. I am in awe of her and of you, @Chellowie.
This is hard to watch. As someone who
attempted both at 14 and 15. Every day I’m so glad it didn’t work. It’s been 5 years since the last one and I have made so many happy memories. Met the love of my life and am planning to get married. It doesn’t stay dark. Yeah there’s some rough days but never to a point where I’d consider it again. You just have to push through and remember there’s help out there if you need it because there is someone who loves you (even if you don’t think there is) who would be completely lost without you.
Wishing you all the best. You're here for a reason, keep fighting :)
Try dealing with that at 6 years old.
Glad you're here ❤
@@imperialinquisitormaximusv3645 how fucking invalidating of u
"It doesn't stay dark"
What a beautiful thing to hear.
I wish you and your family nothing but the best wishes from the other side of this world wide web. Thank you for this phrase
When people criticise the young, this young Lady is an example of how good they can be. God bless her.
I can’t even imagine the pressure that these dispatchers face. They’re the only lifeline for these frantic callers. 💔💔💔
I work for London Underground and the first one under I had as a station assistant was completely traumatising. Even the big burly men I worked with were in tears that day.
I don't think I could work for the emergency services, it's absolutely amazing what they do. She handled that really well.
Think you’d have to have absolutely no soul not to get upset sometimes. What an absolute sweetheart that girl is at least she genuinely cares
I doubt many people consider or realize just how much stress the emergency operators are under. It takes a special type of person to do that job well and keep the callers calm and focused in the face of unimaginable trauma and duress. I could never do that job, seeing this makes me respect those who do this job well.
I lost my dad in this way when I was 18 and it’s breaks my heart everytime I hear anything like this 😞 so much love to our dispatchers, we need to protect them at all costs! They are the ones there for us in such difficult situations and have to deal with this on a day to day basis xx
Man this was moving, the girls emotional touched my soul and bless her for being what we all need to be - feeling - compassionate - a beautiful spirit in a wonderful woman.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Respect and love to all the emergency response staff worldwide. Doesn't matter if you are a dispatcher, boots on ground or a phone operator, you see some of the worst things in this world and still serve your communities through thick and thin.
I've been there - spent so much time crying on the phones - I'll never forget the years I worked for the ambulance service - she handled the call so well!
They do amazing work and the toll it takes on them is immense and real. Empathy fatigue takes a lot out of someone.
What an incredibly important and difficult job they take on. Much respect to them
When my Dad passed the lady on the phone to me was amazing too. As were the paramedics. Its a horrible situation and at the time my brain was too all over the place to fully appreciate the amazing job they do. They are the real heroes, not footballers, not musicians, our first responders ❤
We're all human and yes, we have feelings too. I applaud the operator for doing her best to keep her composure.
I had to give CPR to a man i found in the street the other day. The woman on the phone was incredible, encouraging and kept everyone calm on loudspeaker. They are angels 💖
The fact we pay these people such basic wages is beyond me. This is what hero’s look like, this.
such an amazing young woman - flooding empathy.
Incredible woman. A credit to the service.
To anyone who is considering this, you are enough, and you are so loved ♥
@d a r l i n g J o Sorry what?
Can you explain how it is pathetic? It’s better than what you’re doing.@d a r l i n g J o
@d a r l i n g J o I guess we have different value systems then. You are right, maybe this won’t help anyone. But maybe it will help just one person. That’s what matters to me, not the fact that it supposedly makes me feel better. A little kindness can go a long way and I stand by that :). I hope you can understand that one day too.
Emergency operators don’t get anywhere near enough credit for what they have to do. Not all heroes wear capes. This Woman, these people, need to be some of the highest paid in their countries.
I can’t fathom how people do this for a job every day. Incredible strength. I have endless respect ❤
It's such an incredibly difficult job to work emergency services dispatch. I could never do it and I am forever grateful for the people who can. They are heroes
Such a big heart. Happy to have dispatchers like you ❤
Unsung heroes 🙌
Absolutely 🙏
I didn’t expect to burst into tears! I had to stop the video and collect myself
The year and a half that I spent on an ambulance crew changed me for forever. In a small California town we had 4 SIDS deaths and I caught all of them. It was a record year for that and CPR calls. I will never forget the sound a mother makes when she has lost her baby. Movies and tv shows can trigger flash backs and anxiety like nothing else. And in those moments I remember my triumphs. Like my first CPR call ever was a save or the people I helped. Like my class mate who was almost beaten to death on Halloween night and I helped save his life. Things like that balance out the pain that comes with the job.
Gosh this is so so so hard!!! I’m a call handler in the UK too (but a different location) and I just had my first hanging recently and the friend did CPR for so long god bless her and it was just the toughest call 🥺 I’m so grateful to have been able to help that friend in some way to know she did absolutely everything she could for both the patient and her partner in that moment and it honestly makes me so emotional how proud I am of her! It still doesn’t quite register in my brain sometimes though that the patient died, you know? And other times it’s so real it hurts! Anyway I know how hard it is to not get overwhelmed by emotions in those calls, especially once you’ve got them going on CPR and all you can do is encourage this person who you can’t see or take over compressions for or really do much except wait and listen and that’s when not crying becomes hardest for me because it’s quieter and you’ve don’t all your jobs except keeping CPR going so your brain has time to think for the first time! 😔🥺 Anyway my prayers to anyone who has to deal with this whether a family member or friend who finds them or knows them, the call handler who’s the first to hear their heartbreak, fear and pain, or the paramedics who work so hard to do what they can and who have to see and do what none of us can imagine! It’s the one blessing of a difficult job like this, that I never have a face to haunt me, only the sounds (which are hard but so much better I imagine that images) 😔❤️❤️❤️
I'm a nurse, but just wanted to say thank you for everything you do as a call handler, you do a job that I wouldn't have the guts to do after many years of being in my profession. Make sure you always look after yourself after those tough calls and debrief where necessary x
Thank goodness for people like you. Thank you for everything you do :)
Aw bless you both! I love my job I’ll be honest! I’ve had to cut my hours a bit to allow me to finish my undergraduate degree (in a related field) but I’m excited to get back to more hours again once I pass my endless assignment to do list and exams 😴📚
And yeah the ambulance service is great and it’s honestly like a family! 🥰
Your a hero kid. Empathetic loving and a great person be proud of who you are.
@@mollyrice1578 best of luck finishing your qualification!
I used to take 999 calls - I worked with some of the most amazing people, many of whom are still there. I feel so proud of them. I also feel so, so proud of each of the callers that took action and carried out CPR on either strangers, or their loved ones. Absolute superheroes.
I met someone who does these late night help lines and am so grateful for people like her but at the same time I could tell how much it pained her. Really good on her for doing such a valuable job. Sending my love to all who work in such a rough environment ❤
I agree... its amazing that she's doing that. I'm just curious, what was it that pained her? has she lost people? Or is it more just the emotional demand of the job
Not going to lie this short clip just made me tear up .. what a very beautiful kind lady .
These people are incredible. Not the same situation but when I had my second child their was a few complications and I needed an ambulance, the man on the phone was incredible and kept me calm the whole time. They are true heroes.
She did so well, allowing herself to cry in the off moments but then still sounding professional and encouraging when the caller needed her to speak.
About not long ago I started having chest pains and a pain down my left arm. I called 999 and they said they would send an ambulance out but unfortunately it was on the day of a paramedic strike and the was a reduced service. They very kindly paid for a taxi for me because I had no money which came almost instantly. They're wonderful people. Luckily it wasn't a heart attack but I do have to be seen by a specialist.
Incredible people. I dont know how they do it. ❤
This video really made me realise how much it would affect others around me if I followed through. Not saying I would now but only a few years ago, I was on the verge. Life is worth living, even if it’s just to stick around a little longer so your loved ones don’t suffer too :(
Hey if you want to u can message me on here whenever. I’ll be here to listen. You are worth so much.
pretty much only reason that i am still here too.
@@Zombie101 do you have anybody to talk to about it?
Last year, i paid my respects to the parents and sisters of a young man who committed suicide. Seeing them and hugging them was absolutely heartbreaking. The next day i could barely function at work. Sat at my desk, seeking solace in music.
Once you've witnessed that, you won't think of doing that to your family and friends.
Btw. I never tried or had actual plans. Just depressed times in life where i thought, why am i even here? What's the use?
Such a incredible emotional
Lady, respect
Her heart is massively in this job
She will be the type of person that
Takes her work home with her
Can't switch off
Thankyou for being so amazing 👏
My sister is a paramedic and the NHS don’t offer enough psychological support, I had to help her process a situation that had an immense impact in her, these organisations really need to think about the human side of these situations and not the numbers.
The government need to put more money into the nhs instead of constantly cutting it..they’re deliberately, systematically, destroying it-people like this girl don’t get paid enough for literally saving lives while the Tories actions over the last few years have literally killed people…she should get paid more, she should have access to counselling 24/7
Thank you all for your service ❤️
What an amazing young woman. Very few people would be able to do that. Cudos to her.
This one caught me!! Heartbreaking! Keep doing what you are doing, one of the most overlooked jobs there is! From a firefighter - stay strong girl.
She did so well, her composure....it helped, by some modicum, to aleviate panic to the caller from the otherside 🙏🏻
Tearing up just watching this and if the roles were reversed I certainly wouldn't have the strength to take calls like this. Thank you to all these dispatchers, the unsung heroes who help to save lives.
you think you wouldn't but I bet you would... we somehow find it in these situations
@@RikologyGaming i totally agree
Strong woman that is heavy emotions she's going through but did an amazing job
Gosh this was just heartbreaking on so many levels 💔 Some of the comments of people having been through a similar experience are so terribly sad.
My Sister Hung Herself In 2016, She Was 12 And I Was 10 At The Time. She Had Been Severely Bullied In Her School And Her School Couldn’t Do Anything About It. She Was Still Alive When We Rushed Her To The Hospital But She Suffered Fatal Injures
And She Was Pronounced Dead Minutes Later.
She Had Severe Autism And She Was A Huge Liverpool Fan And We Played You’ll Never Walk Alone At Her Funeral
I’m Now 18 Years Old And Her Death Haunts Me Forever.
I’m so sorry
The worst thing is these calls dont end after the call ends. The voices repeat in their heads every day.
You did a courageous thing we need you and others like you in these moments. Thankyou
Just shows how much of an incredible job the call handlers and paramedics who work for our NHS do and what they go through every day doing their job to help us.
When I trained to become an emergency medical dispatcher, I was told that there was one type of call that would always have a profound impact on me. I thought it would be the calls involving children or the elderly, but in reality, it was hangings that ended up leaving the most lasting impression on me. It's been 10 years since then, and I still remember every single hanging call I responded to. There's something about the screams of people who discover someone hanging that's etched in my memory forever. It's a truly horrific experience that has stayed with me to this day.
I would be too angry at the selfish sack of shit putting their loved ones through that to offer any help on the phone.
@@ashm4938 Get help.
I will never forget my friends dad description of what her face looked like when he found her. 12 years ago and it still haunts me but those words have kept me from doing the same thing more times than I care to count.
I am glad I am still here. I just wish she was too.
Don't stay quiet. Get help.
I've worked on the frontline for 9 years and witnessed this first hand.. it is a very dark and traumatising experience and the emotions take hold regardless of who you are.. So sad.
I just want to give her a hug.
people are really not aware of what these people go through, they hear the first reactions of the victims or the other ones....
hats of.
Bless her heart ❤ I’m a CSI and have to attend all suicides. It’s truly heartbreaking and I only wish people were more comfortable in expressing their sadness in this profession. We aren’t robots.
To anyone who is struggling. Please remember...there are people here to help. You are not alone ❤
I’m so happy there are people in this work that can handle this type of work. Lord knows I couldn’t
To have to watch that gives a whole different perspective on how this affects so many many people. Well done young lady.
One of the most important and under appreciated jobs in the world. I work for the community mental health team myself. People don't realise the emotional toll nhs work can take.
God bless that woman, heart of gold 🙏🏻
This is probably one of the hardest jobs
I felt so very sorry for her. What a compassionate heart.
The work these guys do is beyond amazing.
I work for the nhs in treating mental health problems. So pretty much the barrier between them being ok and taking their own lives… I’ve heard people at their lowest and it’s heartbreaking knowing that someone is going to take their life. But to be at the otherside when it’s happened n the aftermath.. could break me
People that suffer from this all the time I'm sorry for everyone because it makes me cry 😢everytime we all need support everyone
This is the image of the true burden of working for the health service. Every single one of them is essential and they all shoulder the good times and the bad. I'm a QA L3 First Aider and it would be very hard for me knowing that I could do so much more if I was there.
I wish i could just build the strength to do it to my self im not happy this world has broken me in so many ways i feel so numb
Hey, I know I'm just a random internet commenter but I really hope you get some help and are able to heal. You definitely have people who care about you, please reach out to them or to any of the services available, even if it's just to talk.
