The dispatcher didnt know what "incoherent" meant? Apparently scoring low on the Verbal part of the SATs aren't too important in her work! Wonder if she knows the word "imbecile"?!

[allgood2000]

Well apparently the grandmother didn't know what incoherent meant either, so it's just as well that the dispatcher asked.

The 911 operator didn't know what incoherent means? Incoherent means unresponsive or unconscious.

Coherent = Conscious

I think she knew what the word meant, but she wasn't sure what the grandma meant by it.

poor baby she said '"im ok grandpa"

Now this is a REAL Emergency, now days we hav idiots calling 911 one because a five month year old poke themselfs on the finger with a pin and it didn't even break the skin. -_-

I'm an EKG Technician and paramedic.

Just b/c a call doesn't qualify as Trauma 1 doesn't mean it isn't an emergency. If the person THINKS it's an emergency, they should call and not give a damn what other people will think of them for calling.

I can't stand when nonprofessional people tell other people what an emergency is.

You can be in a Trauma 2, sometimes even a 3, and still need emergency medical intervention.

The dispatcher is smoking hot.

@thepiper2112 the dispatcher knew what "incoherent" meant. the grandmother wasn't using it correctly. It doesn't mean unconscious, it means illogical or not making sense.

that girl is older than me

never run into a glass door idiot

[zzzzdreamzzz]

@whatever1210 thank god a lot of ppl now understand the importance of safety glass when you have small children around. i watched this show from beg to end, the series i mean, and back then, something like this, or having your child unbuckled from their car seat, not making them wear a helmet... not only did this show save lives in the sense that ppl knew how to react to emergencies, people learned what to do to prevent them.

[applehead94jazzy]

she was like im ok grandpa not even knowin how serious it really was...poor child she could died right on dat counter in front of her grandparents

[blacksunrize]

that must suck i love rescue 911 but it is also dangerous to run at a storm door exspecialy a glass strom door

[vickiormindyb]

@thepiper2112 I think most dispatchers, even today, have no idea how to help a family that's experiencing trauma.

When you have a patient who's family is on the scene when it happens, you have more than 1 patient. I was told that in paramedic school, but I know b/c my sister almost died during a medical emergency.
