Alpo Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I mean themselves. Watching a show, and the girl is talking to the guy, and suddenly machine gun is shot through the window and the guy catches three in the chest, and he's on his back on the floor. And the girl hollers, "SOMEBODY CALL 911!!!" But she didn't do it. She yells for someone else to. Show I was watching last night, same thing happened. Man was apparently poisoned. Fell to the floor frothing at the mouth. And the guy he was talking to yells, "SOMEBODY CALL 911!!!" They never do it themselves. They always want someone else to do it. Hmmm.

Sedalia Dave Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 In all the first aid training If you are rendering aid you are supposed to point to someone and say "YOU, call 911". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! Your first order of business is aid to the person in trouble. If you can react and someone else is there you should get them to call for additional aid.

Texas Joker Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Some of that training goes all the way back to wall phones though. I know I took it then. Now days if you yell hey siri call 911 loud enough you can voice call 19 times. Take out cell Dial 911 put it on speaker toss it on the ground and get to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Someone has to call 911 because the (supposedly) injured person is usually on the phone to their lawyer. Or, it could be because there really is an injured person and performing CPR is hard to do while calling 911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! But, this might be a better option: 4 hours ago, Texas Joker said: Take out cell Dial 911 put it on speaker toss it on the ground and get to work Although the times I've called 911 on my cellphone, except for one time, I've spent at least five minutes muttering, "Come on! Answer, dammit!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 My sister slipped om ice, her leg went under her car and got broke. Said she laid there trying to member the number for 911.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Maybe you should dial 911 and ask the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they ask if you’re in Montezuma or Dolores county. You’d think a sophisticated 911 system would indicate which county you’re calling from. Well..,, a Sophisticated system would. So I just call the county sheriff’s office direct. Although I have to put in the area code now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
