I’ve seen this kind of post a few times. If I survived a near-death experience, you bet I’d be glued to my phone telling everyone I was ok as soon as I could.
Sure. After removing yourself from the conditions. My guess is that either this meme’s suggestion is exactly what’s happening, or rather she is barely aware of things and the paramedic is asking if she can find a number on her phone for them to call a loved one. Had to do that at work once with someone who had a seizure and couldn’t stay conscious long enough to call themselves.
As bad as the smartphone is for other reasons, it’s wonderful for being there as a contact tool when you need it.
Yeah right talking to their friends … they’re googling … ‘what is the survival rate of fractured spine’ … ‘will I bleed out’ … ‘can I trust a fireman?’ … ‘is there life after death?’ … ‘will I go to heaven?’
FDNY indicates it’s in the US, so they’re googling: “What’s the nearest hospital that’s in my health insurance network?”
paramedics were loading me into the ambulance recently and I said, “you guys are a bunch of jokers; I’m fine.”
they did not let me have my phone.
Weird meme, I mean… obviously she’s not scrolling tiktok. I’d hate for a traumatic experience I went through to be photographed at a compromising angle and mocked online by strangers. Not pointing at you OP because I’m sure you didn’t make this, but whoever did needs to consider being more empathetic towards their fellow human being.
