To all me deaf/blind people, here you go Burger man: I’ve got my mom in the car. I think something wrong with her. Austin: Oh okay…What happened? Burger man: We got into a huge fight this morning. We were arguing then all of a sudden, she got real calm and quiet. At first, I thought maybe she was giving my the silent treatment. You know chicks Austin: Right..chicks.. Burger man: Anyway, she been acting kinda weird for a while now so i figure i’d take her in to you guys Austin: Why is she still in the car? Burger man:. She won’t tell me. I think she’s still made at me. I even tried to take her to McDonald’s drive thru to try to cheer her up. But when she wouldn’t tell me what she wanted to order I was like shi something’s wrong. Austin: Rich, can you help me bring in the patient from the car? Rich: Yep. Let’s go. Hi my ma’am my name is Ri- Oh my God! Austin: What is it? Rich: I think she’s dead. Austin: WHAT?! Rich: yeah no she definitely doesn’t have a pulse. Burger guy: Mah, are you gonna talk or what? Rich: Sir I don’t know how to tell you this but.. your mom is dead. Burger guy: What? Are you sure?

I remember my mom driving my dad to the hospital with chest pains. I was in the back seat and scared half to death myself as she was driving fast and ran a red light. I think I was about 6 or 7. It was my dad's second heart attack. He made it, though. He had to have a triple bypass. He had his first heart attack right after I turned 5, the day before I started kindergarten. That time they did an angioplasty. That's when he quit smoking and mom started to make some small changes to her cooking to be mindful of his cholesterol and such.

Had an ex who walked in on his dad face down having an epileptic seizure. He thought he was throwing a fit like a toddler. Wasn't till his mom yelled at him to call an ambulance that he realized it was serious. We broke up over the phone later that night after he complained about it while still at his dad's bedside in the hospital.

[@cassandrabelyeu2419]

Autists deal with this a lot. When you’re having a meltdown, you are aware of your surroundings, (as some people are during seizures), but you can’t control the movements of your body. The two last things you want to hear when your body starts flopping uncontrollably and you’re scared and disabled, are “Stop throwing a tantrum.” And “You’re faking a seizure.” Pro tip: never tell someone that they’re faking a seizure. People say that autists lack empathy, while people like your ex are the bane of disabled people everywhere.

[@Lys_Alaya]

​@@cassandrabelyeu2419 did she say he was autistic?

[@Alex-fc8xn]

​@@Lys_Alaya they were bringing up the fact that we (autistic people) similarly experience people being dismissive or rude due to us being unable to respond during a meltdown/shutdown, similarly to how people having seizures are treated by people like the ex in the story. It was an anecdote about relating to dealing with people responding the way the ex did, the commenter knows that the original comment didn't bring up autism. Something you may not realize: autistic and ADHD people often will try to show that we understand and relate and show support when others tell us about an experience by bringing up one of our own that we think is similar. If the other person confirms that it's similar then we can try to respond the way we wish someone had when we went through that, and if they say it's actually very different then we can clarify and learn how it is in order to better understand/connect/respond. This is often misunderstood as people thinking we are trying to derail a convo or make it about ourselves or it can seem totally out of nowhere, but it's one of the ways we try to relate to others.

[@Alex-fc8xn]

​Their comment never implied that they thought the dad was autistic, only that autistic people experience similarly dismissive responses. Hope my explanation clears things up /gen

Later when asked why he drove instead of getting an ambulance, he said that she had chest pains but didn't want an ambulance. So they got in the car. As they were driving, she leaned against the passenger door. He decided to drive more carefully because she was probably resting. She had another heart attack in the car and died. He just seemed so worn out, tired. He accepted that she was dead and cried silently. I felt so sorry for him, for his loss.

[@heyhioriginalandinvisible8584]

My stepdad survied his first heart attack because my mom overdosed him with asprain. Its the type of heart attack known as a Widow Maker, the ones that under normal circumstances would be unsurvivable. As he was having chest pains, my mom slipped him asprain every so often and then realized what was going on, so she took like a handful and gave it to him. If anyone else had been there, it would have looked like she was trying to kill him. Like i said, the doctors told her that had she not overdosed him with it, he wouldnt be there today. He would have died of a heart attack in our home if it wasnt for my mom. Shes no longer with us, that happened when i was 8 or 9 and she passed away from cancer when i was 12. She was a good mom. Since that point my dad has had 2-3 other heart attacks and survived Covid so im safe to say at this point he might be invincible

[@sewingmishaps]

[@justanotherenigma]

Mine drove himself to the hospital while having the Widow Maker....... He didn't call me until he was being moved upstairs from the ER. He didn't know he had survived the WM until he saw our PCP a week later. We've been doing this since October 1999. He has a "go" bag that stays mostly packed at all times. He's been to the cath lab 19 times, is on his 6th pacer/defib device, his enzyme labs have never shown any evidence of heart attacks, and we honestly don't know how many he's had. He had a cath through his wrist back in 2002 when it was still experimental. It's common now. He was also the guinea pig for surgical techniques and post-op care techniques. Once, his defib device went off 6 times; he was conscious for five of those shocks. I don't jump anymore until I have reason to. People think I'm being insensitive when they are upset about their loved one going into the cath lab. It's almost outpatient these days, and a LOT has changed from the 90s/00s in cardiac procedures. Pacer/defibs replacements are outpatient - they simply unplug the old battery and plug in a new one. Boom. Done. It takes about an hour from prep to back into recovery and about an hour or so until discharge. Oh, and he drives himself home most of the time after Cath Lab trips. I can't stop him.

An older lady I know could tell something was wrong with her friend and he had recently had a surgery so she helped bring him in the nurse at the desk said they had to wait and it wasnt that important and she sat there with him for over an hour when he died laying next to her. She's able to pronounce someone dead so she realized immediately and tried to get the nurses attention so he could be taken back but the nurse again told her to stay quite so she sat their for another thirty seeing how long it'd take. He already had a DNR so after he passed she waited. Finally the nurse said they could go back and she explained he was dead. She said or believes the nurse was fired, she later dressed her friend for his funeral and that was that

[@sheilarogge2461]

Damn, It is horrible to die waiting in an ER waiting room. I feel like thats one of the worst places to die like that. If someone I knew was bad off and I knew what someone looked like that was dying(as I pronounce it often) I most DEF would not allow the hospital to let him lay in the waiting room and die. I would fight them and demand the help. Most of the time there is more than once nurse within ear shot. :/ Not to judge the person you are talking about. Everyone is diff. Im just saying that I, personally, would never allow that to happen.

[@DeathnoteBB]

I hope she was fired! I get ERs are busy but that’s not a reason to let patients die 5 feet from help.

[@dragonsncake9787]

@sheilarogge2461 Yeah she said she didn't fight before hand because he said no to and she had been the one to insist he go when I asked a bit more she said she thinks he either didn't think it was that bad or didn't care if he died as long as it wasn't supper painful. I also would have probably raised hell, especially if it was my childhood friend, but he asked her not to, and she listened

[@DarkWolfsDen]

​@@savvivixen8490 it really depends where it is happening in the brain. Sometimes it can cause problems with thinking, other times speech is slurred or garbled, and other times it can affect just muscles (although that usually affects speech because facial muscles are affected.) I hear that hemorrhagic strokes (also called cerebral hemorrhage and often confused with an aneurysm) cause effects much faster even though those effects are similar. I also hear you typically have better recovery if you get immediate treatment than you do for a regular ischemic stroke.

My grandmother had a heart attack in the car. My dad sped to the hospital. Thank God they were in town because she lived an hour from the hospital. Fun fact, a lot of hospitals are not allowed to help get a patient out of the car. Liability insurance doesn't cover the entire property. Only inside the doors. Nonetheless one of the doctors pulled her out himself. We never learned until years later he risked his job to help her. Not until I started working there.

Sometimes people can't accept the fact that the person has passed and they pretend like nothing happened because their brain is trying to protect them from the painful situation.

My other granda, who was more like my father, told me "I was a good boy" and that he loved me but he needed to rest so I should go and see my aunt in the waiting room. He didn't wake up after that. He also died of lung cancer. Cancer is a terrible fucking thing and I expect it'll get me someday too.

I was thinking stroke at first. My late husband had a stroke and the first ER Doc said that he didn't show a stroke on the EEG, even though he showed all the clinical signs of stroke. They released him and it took me 3 days to convince him to go to another hospital. I wanted to take him straight to the second ER, but he wouldn't listen and I didn't force the issue. I should have. It took a full year to get back to 90% of his pre-stroke abilities.

We had a similar thing have at my ER. The circumstances were a LOT worse, though. A guy drove his “girlfriend” to our ambulance bay and said she wasn’t breathing. They called a trauma code, compressions were started, IVs weren’t happening easily. The attending ended up drilling for double IO, gave us blood to run to the lab. The blood resembled watered down strawberry lemonade, not blood. The guy was sitting in the hallway (a known drug dealer and overall jerk) not even bothered. I informed the doctor that there was NO way to run any labs on her, her blood wasn’t blood, it was serum. After hearing that he called it, cops were notified and I don’t know what happened after that. This girl wasn’t very good to herself and she had just had a baby 4 months prior. We knew who she was, by name, because any time she’d “go out for air” while in L&D they would do a drug screen on her right after. They would pull direct from her foley l, since they didn’t trust the bag to be “untampered” with. Her blood had turned to serum be issue she was already dead and I also noticed that her legs and feet were in rigor.

When I was 17 I got into a bad argument with my mom. I went for a walk so that we could both cool down and work it out later. Our rural town had a walking alley between two buildings. There was a park bench with a flower garden. I thought that was a great place to gather my thoughts. At least until two cops walked up. They checked my ID and tried telling me that I was out after curfew (11:00) but it was only 10:15. One asked me what I was doing out this late, and I told them I had a bad fight with my mom. The speed at which they spun me around and put me in cuffs was actually impressive. They threw me in the cruiser and sped off to my house to do a welfare check on her. Worst mistake of their careers was assuming that I had confessed to beating on her. My dad laughed his ass off and explained to them that I knew damned well how much I would be hurting if I ever raised my hand to my USMC mother. Bahahahahaha.

My first patient to pass away during transport I lost about a year ago. I picked him up from the airport with his personal RN. He had gotten injured on vacation and went downhill at the hospital. He was going on hospice the next day. I was driving him and the RN to his home to meet with his wife. We happen to stop by at a hospital because the nurse had to use the restroom bc she was holding it the whole time on the plane. I was checking for his vitals and I wasn't getting a response. The nurse was already coming back out and we were trying everything. I ran in and got medical team to come out. But He had already passed. I felt bad for the wife but she said he just wanted to make sure he would come home to die and not be where they were on vacation. She spent some time with him. So the medical people came out and they called it. It was right in the parking lot of the hospital. And then we had to wait for the funeral home to come get him. He was still inside my rig. That was a little strange. The funeral people took a couple hours to come out. I finally came and got them. But we tried to keep it like as normal as possible in a parking lot of a hospital. I think a few people were wondering what was up.

He couldnt understand the child had died. He ended up being admitted after getting into a fist fight with security, screaming that we had kidnapped his son.
