LITTLE STORY: My mom used to be a 911 dispatcher and once she received the first call for a bridge that collapsed in the city. She called a construction company so that they could remove the part of the road that fell and find survivors. The guy on the phone told her they didnt have any (forgot the word) left so when she asked for another company's number (it was in the 90's google didnt exist yet) and the guy told her he couldnt give her another number cuz of the competition. After arguing, the guy agreed to giveit to her... That shows a lot about society, where business comes before people's lives. btw im not a native english speaker so my english is kinda funny

TW: death, heart attack I had a similar experience when my dad had a heart attack and died at home, me and my brothers were home and my mom had to rush home from work. I'm not sure if she played any role before coming to our house but this woman (I don't know what her job title was) came along with the other first responders, and the way she comforted us as we were bawling our eyes out, drove us to my mom's friend's place for the night and all that. For how traumatic it was for us she really did everything right to make the best of that situation. Really gave me a ton of respect for the people who deal with these situations on the daily. Funny thing too, years later I took a psychology course and she was the prof for it, really good teacher.

As a person who calls 911 often for my kid’s weird seizures, I love that they are always there for me. Even after the fact that the first responders get there, they always ask me is they want to stay there longer after the fact, I 100% appreciate them being there for me.

She said he had a broken shoulder and fractured arm/wrist. (Left side) and some scars on his chest. Since he only spoke Spanish I was able to translator for the person who came.

I feel like that's something that drastically needs change. Many people are probably affected by this in a negative way.

I remember I had to call 911 once. my little brother was blue and could not breathe. the dispatcher told me to calm down when I was as calm as can be so I made sure he could hear me clearly. keep in mind this will forever be the most stressful moment in my life AND IT WAS TIME SENSITIVE but I still tried my best to kept calm. he told me he couldn’t hear me and hung up. good thing someone else that was with me was able to connect with someone, however I felt that my one and only experience with a 911 dispatcher was horrible. my brother could still be alive if the dispatcher didn’t give up so easily.
