Several times. I had a boss who had heart issues, a co-worker who got electrocuted by a plug that maintenance hadn't labeled as being worked on, and at my last job I had to call all the time as manager for people with all sorts of health issues---5 seizures, a broken arm, a guy who split his surgical scar open, a guy who brought a gun in (turned out to be a plain clothes cop), kid locked in hot car, a couple of diabetics....I kind of lost count. Thankfully the nearest hospital was a block away, so I was literally on a first name basis with the EMTs.

Yes, my neighbor was hysterical saying someone broke into her house. It turned out to be she left the door open and an autistic child who lives a block away had gone inside her house. Police got there and took the kid. 🤦🏻‍♀️

yeah i had a bike accident with an elderly woman (her fault). she fell and hit her head. she only had a very minor scratch (not even on her head). on first glance she looked as though a band aid may be all she needed but then she started blathering incoherent things and clearly didn't know what happened and where she was and why she was there so i called 911 in case she got some brain injury. luckily it was just a concussion.

Earlier this month, I came home after being gone for four hours and found my girlfriend unconscious and unresponsive in our backyard. I called 911, she was rushed to the hospital, and admitted to ICU.

Very scary experience!

Many times, mostly for people's medical issues. But, I did have to call a few times over a couple's fights... physical fights... and the scariest was... a man had a woman on the ground, he was choking her... he was super strong, I could not get him off her... no matter what I said or did... I was hysterical... luckily he decided to let go of her. That was one of the most terrifying things I've ever been through. I tried to pull him off, screamed, hit him, I couldn't help her... I feel bad about it but, I just couldn't. Just glad she is ok.

A couple of years ago I was walking to my then-job when a guy came out of an alley calling for help. He had gotten mugged and was bleeding, and his foot was twisted 90 degrees the wrong way. I called 911 and gave a statement to the police. They took him to the hospital. No suspect was ever named.

Nearly have had to call them... or at least foreign versions... my dad was physically and mentally abusive while I was growing up, so there were a few vacations where we got very close to calling the cops on him.

I don’t recall ever actually having to call 911, though I’ve called the cops for various cities for emergencies, just not emergencies that I thought were big enough for 911. Many dealing with crazy or senile people.

Yes the apartment upstairs smoke alarm went off
here the guy upstairs fell sleep with hamburgers on
the stove and their whole apartment filled with smoke
and some smoke came down into our apartment just
a tip on calling 9-1-1 . When you call make sure you
know what County you live in. Cause 9-1-1 routes calls
to any County and they can take longer getting to you.
