Help, I've fallen and I can't get up.

Jennifer

So, Sunday night I was home alone and not feeling well. Long story short I ended up in the ground barely able to move, about to pass out, scared shitless, and ended up crawling to the phone to call 911 for myself and was taken to the hospital. I had some kinda bug that has been going around according to the nurse and I was severely dehydrated.

It was the first time I had ever called 911 much less rode in an ambulance. Has anyone else had to call 911 for themselves or another person?

If this has been done before, just lock the thread.

When I was 3 I called 911 for my mom because she had said she was sick.

Seph

I had a severe heart palpitation and had to drive myself to the hospital
that was pretty fucking scary

BigDes

I got hit by a car. I didn't have to call 999 because i was unconcious, but someone did.

This one time I had the flu. True story.

h5, Jennifer.

When I was at WSU, the same thing happened to me. I had been really sick, but didn't realize I'd gotten dehydrated (I mean, I'd been drinking water and Gatorade like a motherfucker). About a week later, I developed this killer headache, a sore throat, my glands got all swollen up, and a bunch of my joints started to lock up.

Being an idiot, though, I drove myself to the hospital. At check in, my pulse lying down was over 220, and they pumped three bags of solution into me before I started to return to normal.

Once I shit in a gravy boat and smashed it over my father's head.

I am scared to see how much the ambulance ride cost. I have really good insurance with my job, but I bet I will have to pay something for that ride. I probably could have got off cheaper calling a taxi but I was really out of it and was surprised i could give my address for them to get me.

naporeon if we team up do you think we could beat death in a game and make him our servant

Janson

I hear they charge you for calling out an ambulance

even in Canadia

Kadith

i got shot 9 times once.

but i didn't call an ambulance like a pussy.

PiptheFair

I've been to the hospital multiple times, but never in an ambulance.

It is certainly worth a try.

I got a bag in the abulance and then they ended up pushing like a litre in me a the hospital. The EMT told me my shit was all over the chart and my eyes were dilated. I don't think that was a good idea telling me all that because it just freaked me out more and it was hard enough trying not to pass out.

Yeah, my ER team told me that I was lucky to have survived. It happened on a Saturday afternoon, and they said I was about an hour from not being able to walk across the room to grab the phone from the wall jack.

Darth Waiter

After a particularly nasty car wreck, I rode in the ambulance to Hermann Hospital with a gash on my hand...and nothing else. No broken bones, no bruises, just a slice on my right hand. After spending seven hours taped to a crash board, I get loose, get up and go to pee. This giant fucking orderly walks over and starts yelling at me to get back on the gurney and wait for my x-rays. I politely tell him, "Mark, I'm going to piss either in the john or right here all over you; your choice."

He let me pee in the bathroom.

I was shot by a .22 when I was 12. I tried to hide it from my parents, but they noticed the blood seeping from my thigh.


The lesson here is always double wrap your guaze.

Sheri

When I was, like, ten, I smacked my head on a wooden, decaying picnic table and wound up with a lump the size of a baseball on my forehead. No ambulance, but we rushed to the ER and by the time the doctor got to see me, all the swelling had gone down. It was a long wait.

I had to pull the cord to get the phone off the table. I could not walk.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to tell you (that's how I was trained anyway). Their supposed to keep you optimistic, but stay somewhat vague. Telling people that their shit is all over the place does neither of those.

Meiz

I've had to call 911 because my brother was hallucinating the day after taking crack cocaine, drinking and hanging out with strippers.

ShimSham

I've been in one once but didn't call for it.

I just had a pretty bad concussion from a pretty awful car wreck. I don't remember anything I said, kind of remember wandering around but everyone around said I was acting like I had been drinking all night and couldn't speak without slurring all of my words.

Probably didn't look good to the police since I was underage, driving, there were broken alcohol containers from the wreck and I'm talking like I'm stupidly drunk even though I never drink, and hadn't been drinking that night.

I do remember making the paramedics laugh in the ambulance though, my mom said I made a fool out of myself.

Having a concussion is fun.

They teach you that in combat triage as well. The first life saving step is always, "Calm the fuck down."

Wow.

Well, I would've been proper fucked if I'd progressed as far as you. My phone was mounted five feet up a wall.

Also, my least favorite part of the whole experience was when they had to find a vein. Apparently, when you get severely dehydrated, your veins start to rubberize. It took them over a dozen tries in several different spots before they finally found one they could get.

she was telling that i would be ok. she told me that I would get better after I got the fluids. They took my vitals once in the house and then again on the ride there. I heard her tell her partner the second time and asked if it ws better now and that is when she told me that my vitals were moving about and that is not optimal....or something to that affect.

the more I think about it the more I realize that I should have been in an ambulance at least several times but instead just skated it the fuck off

Homeless

I've been in an ambulance twice. The first time was when I got hit by a car on my bike. Nothing bad, just road rash and I was 3 houses away from my friend's house, whose mom is a trained nurse, but the people who saw the accident made me stay.

Fuckers.

The second time was this summer on a school trip to California. In the middle of the trip, I experience a sudden drop in energy and spend the next few days napping and feeling like shit. I thought it was just the flu or something. The night before I went into the hospital I got very little sleep because I was hallucinating that there were people in me and they wouldn't fucking shut up dammit. So the next morning I am unable to stand for more than 15 seconds and I am hyperventilating like mad, so we make a detour to the hospital (it was the last day of the trip). Turns out that diabetes snuck up on me and I was about to go into a coma. I got to ride in the ambulance when they transferred me to a bigger hospital, but I was busy sleeping, so I don't really remember.
