"Apparently constipation and gas can be incredibly painful"
I can attest to that... sigh.
Yup I been there too lol
I’ve had gas pains before, and they range from a mild irritation to OH MY FUCKING GOD MAKE THIS PAIN STOP.
"That's our Emily!" You somehow made me think of character in a sitcom!👍🤪
Former heroin addict, and yes constipation is with out a doubt a mother fucker
Made a doctor mad cos i was sent to ed with just a giant poo causing pain, think he was mad it was his job to tell me to take a shit 😂
The guy calling about the hippo was a legit emergency, those suckered are dangerous
Could you imagine seeing one without knowing what it was?? Crazy!
Even if it had been a pig, wild pigs are freaking dangerous af as well.
Casual geographic taught me the horrors of hippos
Yeah, if that thing turned aggressive, it would crush that dude’s truck like a tin can.
Those things will kill you if you even LOOK at ‘em the wrong way
Agreed!
The scariest ones here are the operators who can't figure out obvious hints like "gun" and proceed to half-yell over the phone.
Absolutely wild tone shift between my almost crying with laughter over “it’s out! The chicken is out!” And then being slapped with the poor blind guy who was doing CPR on a shotgun suicide victim. Wtf reddit.
I like to listen to these while playing games such as Zombie Attack on Roblox (basically wave after waves of zombies, so monotonous stuff.) and I actually screamed 'what the fuck' when it got to that part of the story. Jesus christ.
My self inflicted emotional abuse with these two stories. Someone that comforted me when my sister passed just recently kicked his air addiction. Good dude I wish would have got help before his final choice. Also, Florida really cares about it's chicken population.
Don't mess with emus, Australia lost its emu war.
Well, one of the two countries which fought a war against birds. And lost. 🤣 China. The other country is China.
My friend's dad was a police dispatcher, and he apparently had to talk a woman out of jumping from the window of a house.
When police arrived, she was high on some drugs, and sitting in her kid's treehouse, which was about five feet off the ground.
She didn't get hurt, and she didn't jump out the window.
I actually have a 911 story that was supposed to be the nonemergency line.
My mom, brother and I used to live in a trailer when I was about 4. The summer night was cool, so we had the doors and windows open to let the place cool off. After a while an owl flew into the trailer and just would not leave. Mom tried catching it with a blanket for an hour before trying the nonemergency line, but it was disconnected so she ended up with 911. They sent out an officer who also tried to catch the owl with a blanket for a while before telling my mom he might just have to shoot the poor thing and he didn't want to do that because he might traumatize us kids. Well, he managed to get ahold of the chief of police who happened to be out with a forest ranger. They came out and the ranger came in and said "Oh, it's just a little barn owl." then grabbed the sucker by its feet and asked if we wanted to pet it before releasing it back outside to fly off.
The part where he asked if you wanted to pet was adorable
I like how the officer was like "welp.. I've exhausted all options. Time to put a bullet hole in your home"
"Officers show up to find a full grown hippo that has escaped from the local wild animal park."
And I officially need a mop and sponge from legit spitting my drink all over my wall and floor while laughing and choking.
Hippos are mental. Trust me
I have no idea how a hippo escaped the zoo, or how you mistake it for a pig
I am a blind person who has lived with other blind people I can confirm we are not always that easy to hide from
I've seen day of the triffids
How'd you type that?
@@SunflowerTwix have you heard of voice to text?

😂 lol yes it’s called technology.
If 2 blind people get pregnant who's gonna watch the kid?
The one with the pig that was actually a hippo killed me 🤣🤣🤣 water pig
Once in the middle of the night a mentally disturbed or high on drugs man was knocking frantically on my front door, then my back door, I looked out and could see him through the blinds he was screaming for me to let him in because someone was after him and yelling please please please they are going to kill me. I also had an empty 5 gallon water jug on my back porch the kind that goes in a water cooler that you turn in for credit he had that and was hitting my porch rails with it and my car and my back door. I told him no he could not come in but that I was already on the phone with the police and they would be here any minute to help him, as soon as I said that he took off down the street. I told the dispatcher that he took off down the street as soon as I mentioned police and she asked what he was wearing, what he looked like, which way he went etc and I told her and thought that was that. A few minutes later an officer showed up at my door and I stepped outside to speak with him and explained the situation again. My cat, had gotten on the counter top and was pulling the blinds down and looking out of the window, the officer asked if anyone was in the house with me and I said no. He shined his light on my back door and asked me if he could come in and look and that scared the crap out of me thinking that man had gotten in without my knowing it somehow because he calmly explained that he could see someone looking out of the window and shined his flashlight. I turned around terrified and immediately started laughing and told him it was just my nosy cat but I let him look around anyway to satisfy himself that I was safe and had not been sent outside to lie while I was indeed being held captive. He also checked the crawl space under my house, in my garbage bins, under my car etc which I very much appreciated all of that. I know they have to be thorough to make sure people are safe and that is a good thing. Turns out the man was on drugs and they had a call about him a bit earlier I guess they took him home and let him go or could have been a previous day and he had done more drugs not sure but the officer told me that they had already let him off with a warning that if they saw him again that day/night that they were going to arrest him which is why he took off when I said I was on the phone with police.
I had a call from a guy in a nursing home. Came out as sick person. We got there and the guy was complaining because he wanted a shower and the nurse took too long to bring him a shower cap. He was bald and wore a wig…
lmfao
I just remembered my previous rear neighbour called me over one day. Her kid had gotten his leg stuck between a tree trunk. It was a tree in a V shape. She had called fire, then heard me and my husband outside.
He went over first to help, I got my shoes and went over as fast as I could (I’m disabled) but their efforts were fruitless. The kids leg was turning deep purple as we struggled.
So I just squatted down, and started wiggling the kids leg in an upward motion from underneath. It worked! I was able to have my husband and the neighbour pull her kid up while I did this.
But imagine the 911 call “my kid is stuck in a tree” I’m SO thankful I thought of that so the kid didn’t have to wait any longer as she had been trying to free him for a while.
Maybe it's because I have lived in the middle of the sticks most of my life, but I have never called 911 for a cat in a tree. We've had so many cats just roaming around the woods. Cats climb trees, and they get down on their own
Country cats are smart
My cat knew how to get down after climbing trees, he’d even do it head first.
Thought I was gonna get robbed in my hotel room, didn’t know at the time that it was just a miscommunication on the hotels part. It was 2 am and someone was trying everything they could to get in the room, called 911 and they just hung up and no cops arrived, I kept calling and they kept hanging up on me until they told me that the called the hotel and told me I was fine and to stop calling them
Woah! That’s crazy! Someone should have called you at minimum!
The last time I called 911, no one came at all, no call, nothing.
Maybe they decided it was nothing. I had called because a man was in front of my house acting like he was going through some sort of psychosis, walking in circles, talking to the air, making crying noises, etc. Then he came up on my porch and just stood there and silently stared at my door for several minutes. Super, super creepy.
I understand it might not have been an emergency, but I didn’t know for sure. Maybe the police did drive by after the guy left on his own and decided everything was fine, but no one ever talked to me or made sure I wasn’t murdered.
Holy moly! Where are you two located? That is unbelievable!!!
@@caroleller6968 I’m in a city in Southern California that has a very understaffed police department. I hadn’t realized how bad it was until reading a Next Door post about how long response times are. There were a couple of other people near me who said the police didn’t show up for them, either. It was always for nonviolent offenses, at least. I’m going to stop calling 911 unless someone is in clear physical danger.

I remember being maybe about 11-13, first and only time i ever lost my voice, is ounded like s croaky old man who was a chainsmoker for 200 years thats how bad my very much girly, aged 11 voice sounded. My mother was out, said she would be back at 9pm but the clock on the computer was wrong and said it was midnight. I called the police, I was scared, didn't know where I lived specifically but knew the house number and the village (I had lived in at least about 15 houses by then). I cannot express the genuine distress I was in, unable to talk to the operator, trying to force my words out but only coughing and wheezing instead. Yh can't imahgine what the officers nor the operators were thinking, gotta love the landline though lol.
Topical for the morning I had today. I woke up to my grandpa saying, “li’l buddy, wake up. A lady going full speed fell asleep at the wheel and rammed into (my neighbor)’s car. Pushed the damn thing into a car parked in front of (next neighbor)’s house. All three are probably totaled.” I get up and throw some shoes and a jacket on, and walk outside. I see a red SUV and a whole bunch of glass. I walk over and my neighbor, who just got his new SUV running, is sitting on the sidewalk, bummed out. I get closer, and the red SUV is pretty much fine while my neighbors’ cars are totaled. The police soon arrive and work out the situation. People are idiots. Moral of the story, if you are tired, drink some coffee and wake up before driving your car.
Had a German exchange student in Needville, Texas try using German emergency number just to see what would happen, he found out the county sheriff would show-up at 0130. 911 in the county will respond to any country’s emergency number because folks visiting the U.S. may not know to call 911.
That's very interesting and supercool.
Hmm.
I don't know if it works for the emergency numbers from other countries, but in Australia dialling 911 will automatically put you through to 000 (the emergency number in Australia)
@@celinahatton2653 that may be how the emergency number may be set up in our county. The host parents had no idea why the sheriff was showing up at 0130.
@@celinahatton2653 it does in alot of places (any first world country mostly)
holy fuck the one with the blind man 😭
I had to call the police because a car almost hit me. Looked over, and the male passenger was attempting to give the female driver some downtown oral appreciation for her driving.
Whilst most these are fairly humorous I get pissed off and can't understand why ppl who waste emergency services time aren't come down hard on by the law. Should be an automatic massive fine or month in jail.
I watched this twacked lady down the road lay in her yard moaning and yelling while paramedics tried to get her to let them check her out. She was yettibley loud and legit would not let them do their job, but was dragging shit out not cooperating. Like girl, go waste your own damn time. Those pooele have shit to do! They SHOULD get fined to shit.
Not an operater but a cleaner in the hospital. I was working in A&E a person got an ambulance for a fucking mouse bite, a pet mouse at that.
We are understaffed and overcrowded enough, we don't need a moron calling 911 for a god damn mouse bite.
"I felt sorry for that poor dog for being owned by a fricking moron."
As an animal lover, I heartily agree. Also, if you can't take care of a pet, don't have kids.
Agreed. Also, if your instinct is telling you that you shouldn't have kids, listen to it. There's no shame or sorrow in chosing not to have kids.
Also if you can’t take care of a pet, don’t have pets

I had emergency sos set up on my phone so that if I hit the lock button five times in a row it will send a message to police and all of my emergency contacts. I was sleeping and woke up to a very concerned phone call from my dad, my mom walked in minutes later, and at that point the police department called me and I had to explain that it was a total accident. Apparently when my alarm went off that morning I reached over to turn the volume down instead of turning it off like I normally do and ended up accidently hitting the lock button on the other side of my phone
when i was in 6th grade i butt-dialed the police on my bus when i was going home from school. they called back twice and i hung up each time because for some reason i wasn't aware that you should answer those. they never came to my house or anything, but to be fair i wasn't at my house when this happened. i'm not sure if that matters but seeing as its been many many years, i'm assuming they aren't coming lmao.
16:54 is literally my worst fear I would not be able to handle seeing my babies dismembered
This is one reason why my cats are indoors only.
I know I have 2 cats and 1 already had an attempt on his life. Luckily he was save by our neighbors chasing the person away but he was still hurts and thrown in a trash can. He's doing well now and that was 3 years ago
If it makes you feel better, I have heard a story with details very similar to this so I am inclined to believe it is the same. The police weren't able to jail the guy before a few citizens enacted vigilante justice on him. They beat him BADLY. If I recall correctly the broke many bones and actually removed one of his fingers. Only after this did the police get to the suspect.
About 3 times my 1 year old ( 6 month, 10 month, and 12 month at the time) called the cops. Dispatcher thought and cops thought it was quite funny to hear a baby babbling over the phone and my calling back and profusely apologizing and explaining that he likes to pretend to talk to people on my phone and to constantly tap on the phone to make it light up. Also when my sister was about 4 my dad fell asleep in the living room and my sister got ahold of the home phine and called the cops and said she needed help; cops came, asked her what was wrong, she asked them if she could go outside and play, cop chuckled and said that she had to ask her daddy, she turns around and asked my dad.
Um.... how do you have a 12mo AND a 10mo? Takes longer than 2mo to cook up a baby.....
@@JenVitro no that was their ages when they did that
The sentence reads, " About 3 times, my 1 year old (6 month, 10 month, and 12 month, AT THE TIME) called the cops.
Emphasis mine.
She was not talking about three different babies.
She was talking about a baby calling 911 at three different ages.
When my mom was in the hospital giving birth to our youngest brother, my sister and I (ages 7 and 5) went to the pay phone and called 911. My rational was that we were already in the hospital so it wouldn't work, we called to check and when they answered we panicked and hung up. The police department called the hospital back and eventually they figured out it was us.... my dad was not pleased 😆
Lmao imagine the hospital gets terrorists capturing it or something and then you can't call 911 lol tht would be cursed
@@animeloveer97 there's something darkly entertaining about imagining a hospital employee calling "hello 911, please send an ambulance here right now. Yes send it to the hospital please."
Knowing I may be able to sit in on dispatch is actually really nice. I kind of am interested in doing it. I want to help people, but I'm not smart enough for medical school, plus the pay for them here is 17 an hour and some cents which is crazy good for my area.
Tf9⁰
The down side to it (at least from what I've heard, and from my experiences having to call the cops) Is that you get a lot of sad and scary calls. My friend's dad quit after having to sit with a kid on the phone and talk to them while they had to hear their parents fight in the other room.
Do it at your own risk, and make sure you're okay to take on that kind of job. Sorry if I made this super depressing.
im in america and was offered 15usd for McDonalds and said NO. i could do this for a week or two just as support but Never as a job. If you can thank you to those stronger than me
NOT the McD shitshow
You are smart enough, you've nothing to loose but to gain.I am a nurse 30 plus years,go for it
My grandfather was in medical school after ww2, and one case study was that of a drunken couple. The guy couldn't get it up cuz of the booze, so the drunk woman put a glass drink stirrer into his pee hole and mounted him, breaking the glass and cutting them both up. This was pre 1940.
Lol and some older people act like this kind of stupidity didn't exist before
Dang....
14:46 she did the right thing to call 911, though would have been faster and more effective to lead with "I'm being held in a car against my will, the driver is driving erratically, it's my boyfriend and I can't get him to stop"
My youngest son, when he was 5, called 911 on his older brother for picking on him. His class had been taught about 911 that day at school.
Many years ago, for some unknown reason, every time we had a heavy rain either our our our next door neighbor's phone line would call 911. All the 911 operator would hear was static. When they tried to call back, the line went straight to voicemail. So the police had no choice but to come by to make sure everything was ok. The neighbor's house was vacant and there wasn't even have a phone in the house.
After countless late night visits from the police, we finally decided to have our line disconnected.
An equipment rental company now has our old number. We had that number for over 20 years so I imagine they still get calls for us occasionally.
one time i called 911 cuz i thought there was people having a shootout on my street. turns out my highschool was setting off fireworks. (the fireworks were literally rattling my windows, the HS is a 15 minute walk away.)
I've noticed that often times it is the people that would steal, if given the opportunity, that are most concerned with theft of their property.
Mad respect for you operators / dispatchers 🤙🤙🤙😘👍👍👍
My niece is in dispatch (KY) and we couldn't be prouder!!!
As a 911 operator of somebody calls and says this guy got in an accident he's bleeding from the head you guys need to hurry, I would think it would be best to not to ask the call her, can you put pressure on his head? But tell the caller you need to put pressure on the wound, on his head etc. Don't give him a choice or option demand it
Great idea
The Spanish word for eggs is also slang for testicles. So in a way he sorta got what he wanted.
My mom used to be a paramedic. Her strangest story? She had a call for an abdominal injury… yeah, it wasn’t. The guy was a paraplegic, and had been moving himself from his bed to his wheelchair… he somehow got one of his family jewels caught in the spokes of his chair and had it yanked from his body, since he couldn’t feel it. My mom’s male parter on the bus couldn’t keep his cool🤣🤣🤣
What would you, as a medic, assume if someone had called an ambulance because they found an unresponsive woman or one in an altered state that eventually became more responsive and then was confused and irritable and generally didn’t want to go to the hospital?
What if this happened several times with the same person? What if the woman had depression? What if she showed up at the fire station groggy and confused and she thought it was probably blood sugar, but it wasn’t.
What would you, if you were a doctor, do if this woman was brought in and all she wanted to do was sleep by the time she got there?
What if she had some EMS training?
Would you think there was something genuinely wrong or would you think, frequent flyer, nut job, wasting your time?
This time, forget about all of the extraneous factors, her training, depression, etc. and focus ONLY on the symptoms.
LOC and or altered state. Someone, typically a stranger, calls 911. Person becomes more responsive but is confused, agitated and seems “put out” but tries to be polite but just wants to sleep. More often than not doesn’t want to go to the hospital.
Sometimes it’s a different call with this woman and she is weak.
I’ll agree with you that, with all of this happening, she should not be volunteering in EMS.
I say that for more than one reason. First, anyone with advanced training (paramedic vs EMT) should know the classic signs of someone who is postictal. So should every single doctor and nurse. And secondly, hanging out with people who are calling her names, mocking her and treating her with contempt are only making her depression worse.
She is a volunteer ff and EMT. She’s not a doctor and doesn’t know what is happening. It is because of the presuppositions of medics and doctors that she is “faking” that caused her to be untreated for her epilepsy for for over five years. Treatment only came after she had gone through the court system due to an incident she can only remember bits and pieces of. (She was trapped in a burning car someone had abandoned on her property years earlier, came to when melted headliner was dripping on her scalp and the left side of her body was nearly blistering) Apparently interviewed by the police while cognitively altered, and then taken to a hospital where she was not cleaned up, not treated for smoke inhalation and then taken to a “mental hospital” for ten days.
Upon returning to town she found out that there was an article in the paper that said she had admitted to the crime. When? How? The depression and despair worsen as she waits for a court date for . . .what? A nearly 20 year old vehicle that had been illegally dumped on her years ago? (She asked him to please get the car out of her yard, but he said there was a lien on it because he hadn’t paid child support. She did call again and said she’d pay the 15 dollars to have it taken to the junkyard but was told again that he couldn’t because of the lien on it and, because he was in public housing he couldn’t have more than one car.
After court (found guilty but not guilty due to mental defect) Spent nearly two years on probation with a woman who lost her position partly because of the mental torture she was doing to this woman.
This woman’s neighbor had started a fire with five gallons of gasoline accelerant in this woman’s yard the previous summer. He had a record.
Prior to this she had none. A decent citizen who had just graduated college as a single parent and who had gone to fire EMS training so she could give back to her community and fulfill a dream she’d had since her pre-teens.
What did she get in return? Although treated like trash she continued to work hard for the first dept. she was on. The second dept treated her better but the chief kept telling her that she owed him “favors” because he let her be on “his” dept.
She began having nightmares and would wake up in the middle of vomiting. One day he said he had a surprise for her because she had helped him finish building a truck that was used on the dept and because she typed up the notes from the chiefs meetings. To her horror, he took her to a strip club. It was winter in one of the northern states, cold out, and prior to the days when most people had cell phones. She had to keep telling him not to touch the women. During a break, she told one of the women she was sorry he was doing that. “Yeah, he’s in here all the time, he’s a real pig.”
They closed . The few stragglers dashed into their cars and left. Cars pulled out from the back of the place as well.
He was drunk.
It was cold.
She fished the keys from his coat pocket. No way she was letting him drive. She took the keys and got in on the drivers side. He got in, grabbed the keys from him and threw them under his seat where he then grabbed a cadaverject sp? And injected his . . . .. and raped her. She did try to get out of the car. She was crying and begging him to stop. It was no use. There wasn’t really any place she could run to. Just trapped in a car.
Of course she didn’t report it. She had been assaulted before (Can’t remember the stats but women who have been raped are five times more likely than the regular population to be raped again.) and was treated as it she was the one in the wrong. So . .she sure as hell wasn’t going to report it.
But her behavior changed. When changing batteries in some of the equipment she begged the guys not to leave before she did. She was more nervous during meetings. She became more and more anxious and depressed. Of course no one took any of her “cries for help” seriously.
She had more and more times when she would be going along and then suddenly be somewhere else or on the ground being bitten by ants and looking at the legs of medics.
More and more times when she saw flashing shapes followed by migraine and depression, more and more being out of it, more and more confusion until she broke and told the mans wife that the chief had had sex with her. (She wouldn’t say rape). She waited for the chiefs wife to berate her. But that’s not what happened.
“You poor thing. I can’t believe he did that to YOU.”
She knew what he was like. He would fool with his insulin pump to cause himself to go hypoglycemic. He would go out on a pontoon boat with one of the board members for the village and have strippers on the boat. He lied to the state saying that a very tiny amount of gas splashed on the concrete at the gas station was a huge spill so he could get more money for the dept. He falsified his own resume in order to try to get a job at a different dept. She knew. I had been so beaten down by then that I couldn’t even report it to the police. But she knew and said what she said and I will respect her for forever for that.
He showed up at my house after I told her. He walked into my house. My daughter and I both screamed at him to get out. He said he had been nothing but a friend to me. And that I was going to get in his car and we were going to go someplace. I didn’t get in his car. He left but would follow and intimidate me.
When I told the village president (I said about the same thing that I had said to his wife) he got a bunch of board members together and they called me to the dept for a “chat.” More like an ambush. I was told that if I said anything more about it it wouldn’t go well for me. I was kicked off of the department. The chief was off for a couple of months but everyone was told that it was because he was having extensive dental work done.
Not long after that the car incident happened. And I was seen as a criminal. And nearly did die. My family was put through hell.
Oh, about the seizures . . .it took two more years before a neurologist actually looked at me like a person, had me write down everything I could think of. I did. And it was plain as day that I had been having a ALOT of seizures for a very long time. Oh . . .and the weakness - myasthenia gravis.
I’ve been on gabapentin and trileptal for about 15 years now. Because the depression was caused by seizure activity I have not been found on the ground passed out since then.
I hope all medics and hospital personnel can learn from this. Perhaps the destruction of a 20 year old junker with parts of the engine sitting in the back seat and only one door that would open and another persons nightmare can be avoided.
I hope that this can be taught to new paramedics. That sounds absolutely hellish to go through. Also, you didn't deserve a single bit of that, it was not your fault. That guy was a criminal and should have gone to jail forever. You should have been treated with respected and compassion in all those circumstances.
Omg love, first of all, I'm so sorry this happened to you! There are no words n no excuses for that behavior. Secondly, you're not alone! I won't go into too much detail but let's jus say I was SA by a "family friend" when I was jus a child not even in double digits yet. I didn't tell my parents or anyone except his 2 nieces whom he had also SA. Until we found out he had a severely disabled little girl. N only then, bc we were afraid he would do it to her as well. So we pulled her mother into a room n told her what had happened to us. Thankfully she took the daughter n ran. I was 13 by this time n felt I should finally tell my parents as it had led to some pretty emotionally disturbing behaviors growing up. Unfortunately they did not believe me at that point n I went undiagnosed til I was an adult in my late 20s. I didn't have seizures but my brain basically created other personalities that delt with certain situations I came across growing up n thats why I have so much lost time n memories jus gone. It's kind of like D.I.D but different. Kinda hard to explain.
Anyways I jus wanted to reach out n tell you I know what it's like to beg for help, to beg for answers and receive none. To have ppl you love n respected n trusted to not believe you. To jus leave you. N for you to blame yourself. There are no words for how much this sux. So I am sending you hugs 🫂 wherever you are in this world. N if you ever need to talk, need a friend, or jus someone you can, scream, cry n vent to, I get it n your not alone n I would be happy to be there jus to listen to you. Please take care n don't ever stop talking about it. Fight for better, bc you're not alone n could possibly save a life!

From Detroit!
I had a cell phone that called numbers on my contact list. It only did this when charging. First time it called my sister upstairs when I was no were near it. Next time was at 3am. Apparently it call 911 twice!!!! and hung up on dispatchers. I get a wakeup call asking if I am alright. Told her i was asleep and ask what was the reason for the call at that ungodly hour. She told me about the two calls. So I said " let me guess, you have to do a wellness check". Yep! I had to greet the officer at the door to assure him I was alone with the dog and not being handle hostage or something. Got a new phone after that.
I drive trucks in the United States. I had to make 911 calls. because many places do not just let us pull off to look up non-emergency numbers that are only avalible in the times I am either driving or just not avalible in the time I need to call so I always clarify that the call is non-emergency before reporting in. The weirdest non-emergency call I made was to report a dead tiger cub on the side of the highway. I was worried because usually if there was a cub, mom wouldnt be too far.
Before cell phones. I took a one day course in college about emergency services. They told us that they could tell where the phone was to just dial and put the receiver near the base if you are scared. I relayed that to my family. A few weeks later my sister had to do exactly that when her boyfriend had a violent episode due to low blood sugar and cocaine ingestion.
Yep...that low blood sugar will getcha EVERYTIME!......not sure why you mentioned the cocaine intoxication though...😵😜
Why don't we keep landlines as a safety feature? I do not like the future lol
i'm already dying at the bees story

Well 911 ofc calls me (when I’m on my night shift) got so many crazy story from it too xD but here is the best one.
Got a phone call, and turns out it’s 911 who called, got ask if I can visit my own patient, coz she just called 911 saying she was about to give birth to her child and she needed help, and she didn’t want to speak to the night shift doctors coz they got her Pregnant (lol) both me and 911 dude almost die laughing, coz the lady is like 85+ years old. Anyways I when to check on her, she was fine, and ofc not pregnant just a lady who wants someone to talk to her, so problem solved for now. She will probably call 911 again in a few days with some other new problem😂
Also the night shift doctor who got blame is female 😂🤣
this sounds too stupid for someone to make it up.
"There's no way to know if you're safe unless an officer lays eyes on you?" REALLY??? See the case of Dahmer, Jeffery.
Jesus wept.
"Apparently constipation and gas can be extremely painful". Yep! I had an issue with gas after my second colonoscopy. No pain meds can help with it either. Not even morphine. Feels like being stabbed in the gut. Labor was horrible but this was way worse. Appendicitis was nothing compared to this. And when I say it felt like getting stabbed, I mean like being stabbed multiple times at once with red hot knives.
Me too. I was halfway home when it suddenly got a lot worse and I had to lay in the back of the car and call the hospital to ask if this much pain was normal. Apparently it was or perhaps they thought I was putting on the breathless w pain thing.
Next time I was in that much pain my gall bladder, which should be the size of your finger, was the size of a fat sausage and I had no idea what was going on until they diagnosed me in the ER. I was sent home from the hospital with a fistful of strong painkillers and a surgical date 2 days later.
Edited to add that I slowly made my way to the curb to wait for the ambulance, as instructed, and my gasping w pain while leaning on the bin was so loud a neighbour came out and asked me 100 questions and then stayed with me until the ambulance came.
Edited for typo.
I actually lost an ovary because I thought the pains I was having were bad gas, at first. They had come and gone over a couple of days, so I figured they would go away after taking some Gas-X!
They didn’t. It got so bad that I was shaking, sweating, dry-heaving, and I couldn’t walk by myself, but all the way to the hospital, I was still actually afraid it was just going to be gas.
They first thought I had kidney stones, which I now hope I never get. It was an ovarian torsion, which I was told is right up there with kidney stones at the highest level of pain a person can feel. Guys can have it happen to their testicles, too, so it’s equally painful, and probably even scarier.
I didn’t know that pain could reach that level. It was about 50% more than I ever thought a 10 could be. And nothing, not four different opiates, not even ketamine, touched it, so they took me off everything to wait another eternity for surgery.
I told my husband that I understood why people have actually begged for someone to shoot them, and that if anything went wrong during surgery, I was okay with it. I was literally living for the second I was put out. When I woke up the next day pain free, I have never felt so amazing in my life.
Sorry! Long story, but I think I’m still traumatized by it!
So, I can confirm that gas can hurt enough that it could be mistaken for a medical emergency, at least at first!
SECOND?!
@Frost.Bytten Are you saying that about second colonoscopy? If so, yes. Turns out I had diverticulitis. And I had to have the second one because of that and a surgery I was about to have in order to make sure it was safe to have it. Second one they had to wake me up part way through because my blood pressure dropped too low. That was the worst pain I had ever felt. Even worse than when the anesthetic wore off before the carpal tunnel surgery was finished. That crap hurts!!!
@@mkuti-childress3625 I had never known that ovaries could do that. I knew about the testicles, just not ovaries. All these things that are so painful that you would never think would be. Ugh!
I want to be a 911 receiver so when somebody calls and says crap like their extinguisher hasn't been checked I can start to panic and ask them if the person holding them hostage is tearing any weapons and if they've been hurt and let them know that SWAT and the FBI is on the way there and I understand the' different code
14:45 that's really sad my dog of 14 years was hit and killed by a car in July I had him since I was a baby it was so hard to say good bye I think about that dog everyday
I'm not an EMT but my dad used to be. When my brother was little, he one day called 911 just so he could talk to my dad, not realizing obviously that that isn't what it's for. My mom and grandma were pissed. lol
🤥🤥
moral of this entire goddamn video: wear a helmet, wear a seatbelt, give the responder an address for fuck sake
1:28:39
Ohhh, brings up some memories of when I was a smol child and my mom went out to help a mother yelling outside that her baby wasn't breathing/they were choking on a coin or something. My mom brought them inside and she started doing CPR as gently as she could to be effective, but not hurt the baby. It's a little foggy since I don't remember the details, but what I do remember is my mom doing something and the suddenly baby started breathing and moving again. That's about all I can recall.
HAHAHAHA
The Pizza Hut one
That's why I never managed to end my life, I just can't imagine my mom finding me....
2:27:10 almost happened with a "friend" when casually hangout with the same group of guys, the guy driving was under the influence and we where going to the next city over... My city one of the girls on the back just got her body over mine to hang waist up from the moving car, the guy swerve to do zigzags and I just grabbed her because she had no security at all idk if she had taken drugs but they often did (not my proudest moment letting people under the influence drive me home) when he swerve to the opposite side she fall in to the car again, I saw her face of "WTF just happened👁️👄👁️"
Giant pigs and chickens lol
That's the best 😂
A young man who’d worked for me for several years left to become a firefighter. I saw him about a year or so later and asked how it was going. He told me he quit because the only calls he was responding to were old men who’d had a heart attack and died. I guess they still had to perform CPR until an actual doctor could pronounce death. Not exactly the I-want-to-make-a-difference type of job he envisioned.
I've had to call 112 (emergency number in Germany) a couple of times for me or others and they were always really nice and helpful!
Though I can't say the same about paramedics.
Oh man check this out ok my ex I heard a crash and he was at the bottom of our approx seventeen steps from main floor to upper I knew yikur not supposed to let them get up with out a back board I suspected a neck injury I was so concerned . They got there and asked if he could walk he was out if it I knew it but they acted like it was fine I’m thinking WTF? They literally walked him out to the God damn ambulance . He was in surgery within hours for a broken fracking neck he had to have two bones fused . I was pisssed ! Couldn’t believe the carelessness and how any Movement could have severed his spinal cord with the broken bones in his neck! Like Can you believe it ! Seriously I couldn’t believe it . Stunned 😦
@@diybronwynsmith263 uff, that's heavy stuff!
The most infuriating thing for me was a paramedic who refused to take my boyfriend, who struggled to breath (he's asthmatic) to the hospital, because I could've brought him myself. Only thing was that it was in the middle of the night and I just couldn't leave our kids alone at home.
The paramedic bitched the whole time, but another one finally took over and said they would take my boyfriend to get him checked. I was later told that the bitchy paramedic finally took a look at my boyfriend on the way to the hospital and realized that his claim of breathing issues where serious. My boyfriend needed to stay in the hospital for a whole week.
I mean why become a paramedic if you just don’t give a shit about people ? Right Yeesh some People ! there’s one 911 operator that refused calls or out right hung up on people in their Darkest Hour! That’s the milk of human kindness right there boy I tell ya !🤦🏼♀️🤮
@@diybronwynsmith263 I think you're talking about a serious issue, but your comment is so stream-of-thought and non-sequitur to the original comment that I'm too blown away to understand.
Everyone, unless you want fire/EMS to make a noodle bowl of you with a 55 gallon garbage bag and a shovel, wear your seatbelts and pay full attention when driving. No noodles are worth crashing over.
I made a non-emergency call to report two suspicious guys on my street at 4am, they were in an unmarked white van, driving slowly down the street, kept stopping, jumping out and going over to people's front doors and bending down but I couldn't see what they were doing. Few nights later they were back and this time they had the logos on the sides of their brand-new milk delivery van. (In my defence I've lived here 7 years and we never had doorstep milk delivery before. Oops.)
My aunt was a dispatcher and they got several calls a couple summers ago (>100 degree weather in Texas in July) because a guy was staked out under a cellphone tower with a tinfoil hat on (no joke)
Police got there to see what was up and he informed them that he was just “recharging his chip that the extraterrestrials put in his head”
Turns out the guy was on so many drugs he had to stay in the ER while he came down
Constantly calling lady with lion...
Caller: There's a lion in my living room.
911Op: Awww, you're lyin again.
😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😂😅🤣😂😆
Yeah, I know. Lame.
1:12:09 yeah. Nobody called because of the problems communities were having with police department corruption.
I wish these posts would tell the whole story. They way this is, it looks like people don't care, and that's totally not true.
Even my friends in New Orleans, won't call the police for the exact same reason. 2 previous experiences with them, and now they're worse than the criminals they're supposed to be protecting the humans from.
Didn’t think you could actually do that. It would be cool to sit in and listen to that stuff unfold!
I pocket dialed 911 one time I was helping my sister move and we were taking apart a bed and I heard the operator talking to me through my phone in my pocket I explained to her what we were doing and she laughed and said I could hear you and we hung up and that was it
My mum was an ambulance tech, she once got a call out to a guy who was biting people, but the dispatch specified that according to the guy, he was "not a cannibal, just hungry" 😂😂😂
Oh shit one of my favorite topics .
the grocery store i used to work at used a fax machine that required you to dial 9 for an outside line and then 1 before the number. i can't tell you how many times out store manager dialed 911 in error on the fax because he was impatient and just kept smashing the 1 button. i worked at the service desk and got to know the local police officers pretty well from all the times they responded to these false calls
Yo the truck fire one was the one my dad called in. I was in the car when we called it in!
To clarify we were in our car watching the truck burn
I was once asked to call 911 to "report the police for kidnapping" by a guy who cornered me at a bus stop and explained that had no phone because he'd just escaped from the nearby VA psych ward, which had been "holding him hostage" after the police had brought him there against his will. He proceeded to explain his plan to stab his doctors from the psych ward while demanding that 911 send someone to help him file charges against the police for kidnapping him. All I can say is, I was pretty relieved to have an excuse to call 911 without pissing him off in that situation. The guy even *encouraged* me to describe his physical appearance to the operator because he wanted to make sure they'd be able to find him and help him press charges...
At 1:28:17 those cops knew what was good. They came for an emergency accidental call and instead got to watch a slow speed chase that became very famous.
31:50 I know. I have some problems and about half the time the time my body tells me it needs to take a dump is constipation pain. A few weeks back I felt the pain and went to the loo and forced a poop out but then I stood up and when I picked something up the pain got worse and caused me to physically vomited twice. Tried to go to my next lecture and once in the next building vomited twice. Went to the on site nursing service and was told I probably had gastroenteritis and just to take parasetimol (or however it’s spelt)
My aunt called the sheriff once because there were goats in the road and now one of my friends says I live in “Goats in the Road, Alabama”
Emergency dispatchers and first responders are amazing heroes. Thank you for all your help ❤️
I didn't think UTIs could make you hallucinate
“ Swipe ATM “ lmao
Dude legit wanted some huevos rancheros🤣
I got shammed once they said I have called a few time in the past. -.- only twice have called before that once after being punch in the head, once after someone was being physically abused in public and the third was when someone had tried to commit suicide… that’s the one they shammed me on saying I have called a few times
My family learned about emu farming when 5 year old me saw an ostrich in the fields near our house.
In defense, when you get a paper cut it sure as heck feels like a 911 emergency!
Several years ago I had a handyman working on my house. Along the way, the landline was severed. Well I was sitting outside with the guy, talking and laughing when the nearest small town police officer shows up. We had no idea the landline was cut, and the officer said a 911 call came in from my address & he was dispatched. I only used a cell phone.
1:19:17 I would hope that operator, got a severe reprimand at the very least.
Those types of operators are far more common than people think, and departments don't give a Frick, about many things that requires paperwork to be completed and logged, if the stats don't look good.
In ft Smith Arkansas just a couple years ago a 911 operator berated a woman (newspaper carrier, I believe) who was caught in her car during a flood. Was rude, condescending and basically making fun of her all the way up until drowned in her car. Nothing happened to the operator because it was her last day anyway and technically being a cold hearted a$$hole isn't illegal. I'll try to find one of the articles about it.
@@ingloriousbetch4302 i feel like that should be considered criminal negligence or manslaughter
Not 911 but I worked at an urgent care and a lady was trying to make appointment for her son. Her english was not very good so I had her son talk to me. I did not know the son was only 5 or 6 until later. The kid just screams "I smashed my pee pee in the potty seat and its not working anymore" Never in my life had I been both scared and holding back laughter at the same time. I advised mom to take the child to the ER or call 911. poor child.
I actually worry that I’ll accidentally call 911 in my sleep when I have dreams about calling them for some situation happening in the dream.
Someone’s knicked mah snowman ⛄️ 😅
my dad said growing up that the wasps would steal his lunch money. so dont assume anything in a emergency
911 couldn't find my apartment once but to be fair, it was a long brick building with five entrances to each set of apartments.
I unfortunately have an idiot friend who is trying to sue emergency services in my area. He had a diabetic crash, emts broken into his apartment and found him passed out with a needle next to him. His needle was for insulin but the emts did not know that since he was not wearing anything like a bracelet or necklace saying he has diabeties. They shot him up with narcan 4 times before they found out he had a diabetic crash. This idiot is trying to sue because they thought he was a heroin addict
All I can imagine is how the dispatch felt with my extremely calm fiance calling, going out to wait for the ambulance, and checking back in to just go "Oh. Well, she's on the floor unconscious now, I'm gonna get her face out of the vomit."
Or when he also had to call "Hey, yeah, her heart rate is over 200 sitting and now she has a REALLY strong sense of doom we could use some help."
For bonus points, when I came to in the ambulance for the first one I heard them calling for a trauma bay and apparently loudly declared "Oh SH*T, I'M F*CKED UP"
My dog once dialed 911 lmao. She was running and jumping around having the zoomies and my mom's phone was sitting on the couch, and she must have landed on it in just the right way to hit the emergency call button. That was fun to explain to the police officer that showed up at our door lol.
Another time I did it by accident, too! I work at a doggy daycare, and had pulled my phone out of my pocket to turn some music on (it can get kinda boring in there otherwise), and then I had to jam it back into my pocket when a couple of the dogs started playing too rough. By the time I got everyone settled down and pulled the phone back out of my pocket, I noticed I'd been on a call to the emergency line for the past 2 minutes. I quickly hung up (I understand now that I should have stayed on the line and explained what happened, but I wasn't thinking, and I doubt the operator could have heard me well over the dogs barking anyways), but an officer poked her head into my daycare room a few minutes later, alongside my manager and a coworker. My workplace actually shares a building with our city's animal control, and it just so happened that a police officer was there at the time dropping off a ferret. So the officer gets a call that there's an emergency call coming from the same building, is confused, tells my manager who is also confused, and they walk down to the daycare room to check on me, as they recognized it was my number. I think they probably figured it was an accident, but you can never be too careful with these things. Thankfully it was resolved quickly, I would have felt a lot worse if I had dragged an officer way out of their way to check on me, but I still feel plenty embarrassed about that one lol.
"I once got an emergency call from a bulldog."
If I ever write a novel, it will start w this sentence. It's too good to waste.
1:32:47 he wanted someone to be there for his wife when she learned he didnt want her to see that.
11:00 My father in law works for the Sheriff's Department, and got a call about loose emus once. Apparently pepper spray does NOT work on an emu, it just kinda Hulks them out. He ended up having to choke that particular emu into unconsciousness. 🤷♀️
I’m sorry but the lady at 2:07 sounds very sweet and this one is very wholesome.
Im Austrlian and 6ft tall chicken just made me piss myself laughing! 😂 Fucken emus
It's 3 in the morning. at this timestamp, I decide I *really* don't want to hear about some guy getting his nuts electrocuted, so I skip ahead five seconds with the lil' button on my computer. turns out, if it's in the middle of a word when you skip, it just kinda... carries over into the next word? So I have now heard the word Toasticles, and I want to die.
The hippo story made me loose my shit. lol
Lol I’m cracking up just thinking about the deer scene in Tommy Boy 😭😭
I hate people who try to sue medical professionals
They just saved your life tbh I'd damn near blacklist someone like that from the wmemrgemcy services
59:24 I love this. I'm going to remember this for when I go to Stuttgart one day, I can't wait to check out the Porsche museum
