[QUOTE=Pr0fane;47185211]The young woman said that I had probably used drugs, and that that was whats causing it.
The woman said "Well teens are very crafty at using drugs sneakily"
My mom and dad panicked and pleaded for 4 minutes and the woman still refused to send an ambulance.

Even if you did do drugs, is that really a reason to not send an ambulance? If you are possibly dying due to your own decisions, you shouldn't be given medical attention?
What an unusual woman...

Well yes, that's what my parents said.
It's 19:07 here now, just went to my parents to have dinner with them after typing my story. We spoke about it during dinner just now.
She apparently told my parents that it's common for people who smoke weed to have "psychedelic episodes where the heartrate is inpredicatable. It's not dangerous, but it is uncomfortable".
Even though this is still massive bullshit ofcourse. Weed causing "psychedelic episodes", whatever that is...
Anyways, all I know about the woman in my story is that she was 26 years old at the time, and that she was fired. The handwritten apology letter just said things like "I am genuinely sorry for misjudging the situation and I'm glad you are ok." Nothing about how or why.
People like this need to be fired and fined with no remorse. It's not your fucking decision to go "eh, he's probably fine."

Seriously this is fucked up. If emergency service refuses help, the one who refused it needs a fine up their ass.
This makes me angry could you imagine slowly dying from a gun wound and your one option didn't believe you
It's like those horror movies where the parents don't believe the kids when they say they see ghosts and shit

It doesen't matter what you did. Hell you could have murdered a guy a minute before, and call emergency services for your own wounds.
Everyone is eligible to receive emercency services. There is absolutely no exception to this rule.
I just read that the employee that answered the call gets to keep their job. Christ this has me more upset than it ought to be!
Unless there's somehow more to this story, there's absolutely no reason that the responder should get to keep their job. They've proven themself to be extremely incompetent and dangerous.
Why don't they always send somebody, no matter what?
What does the dispatcher have to lose? They go by the word of the caller, they should have nothing to fear.
In america, they send you an ambulance and firetruck and police right away if you claim an emergency, it doesn't matter to them whether or not its a fake call, you WILL foot a massive bill.
So I listened to the call and honestly couldn't see anything wrong with it? She got his name, number, location and situation and had police and an ambulance sent to him within two minutes of her picking up. Am I missing something?
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47184943]Isn't it just the approximation of nearest tower?[/QUOTE]
when you dial 911 it looks for 3 towers and triangulates your location based off that. that's why you have to be connected for a second for it to work
wow seriously. she send an ambulance like 1 min after he called (according to report in here [url]http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article20347457.ab[/url]) and kept talking so she would learn more and he would stay conscious? . this isnt wrong at all. she doesnt have a magic healing stick that can heal over a phone. plus that kid has been arrested now for attempted murder of 3 people. and his friend probably died because of him.

though that woman could have been nicer and faster ffs. cold hearted bitch
I found it odd that they needed to ask for the person's phone number as I would think that would be something which they would have, not to mention not having that information would make tracking down prank calls much harder I would think.

The questionable statement seems to be "But where in the head? How are you able to call if you're shot?" near the start. Considering the operator apparently didn't even know where the person was at the time judging by the conversation directly after, that question didn't really seem appropriate at the time.
The cherry top on the cake. According to an issue of Aftonbladet, a Swedish newspaper, from yesterday. The operator was neither fined or fired.
