How do you react in an emergency?

[dustybiker2]

I tend to get really calm and focused when other people lose it. What about you?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Once I saved a classmate from falling from the cliff, because I was a fast runner and very alert, when I saw her tripping, I was already running towards her, run 100 meters so soon that I was there on time before she fell and caught her with my hand and dragged her to me.

I act, I am the type of person you’d like to have by your side if you ever fall into an emergency.

Sadly I can’t run anymore, not yet at least, but when I’ll totally recover from my leg injury, I’ll still be that person.

I’ve also saved children multiple times when their parents were standing there shocked and in terror.

[dustybiker2]

You are a handy person to have around.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yep. 😊 I might not be the nicest person around, but I am the one who’ll save you or loved ones because it’s my reflex. So, I am not all that bad I guess

[dustybiker2]

lol I'd take that.

[exitseven]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 You will be running before you know it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@exitseven 💖 thanks

I haven't really had any real emergencies in my life so far. But I'd imagine I would freeze up a bit perhaps.

Well, maybe I'd surprise myself and be calm when it matters.

My mom once had a terrible kidney stone attack at this resort after a massage, she was vomiting, shaking and sweating, and I called for the ambulance, and handled things to make sure she got help.

[dustybiker2]

That fits exactly. You did really well. I hope you don't have any more in your life.

[dustybiker2]

How did your mother come through? That must have been so painful.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Thank you. I don't hoe I will either, but I would hope I'll pull through if I were to experience it.

She got to the hospital, got surgery and is better. Haven't had a kidney stone attack since.
But yeah, she's usually a tough nut, so this was heartbreaking to see her in so much pain.

[dustybiker2]

Sounds like you will handle anything well.
Awful. I'm so glad your mother is okay.

I'm a trained 1st Aider, I've learned to put my emotions into a mental box, where they remain while dealing with casualties/an emergency, when everything is done and dusted that is when the shakes start, It usually takes me 1/2 an hour to get over the adrenaline rush and emotions that have built up.

[dustybiker2]

I had plans to be a paramedic at one point. But I could never do that. Separate myself from patients pain. Tip my hat to you and that strength. And the toll it does to you. No easy thing.

[Friendlybro79]

Funny enough I overreact during stupid incidents. For ex stubbing toe and everyone around me is getting cursed out. I'll be pissed all day about that haha.

If something serious happens, for some odd reason I'm calm and able to do what's needed.

[dustybiker2]

Priorities.

[Charliefretz329]

In emergencies I usually calmly and collectively handle high stress situations with professional ease.


After the crisis ends, I do my best to escape to somewhere safe and have a complete mental breakdown.


My training kicks in and I go total robot. 🤖


But once my suppress and respond is over, my PTSD kicks in… 😑

[dustybiker2]

Nature is so healing in those moments.

[Charliefretz329]

True.

[Charliefretz329]

But in all honesty a couple bushes get kicked and trees punched.

Any I might throw some acorns back at the squirrels 🐿️

[dustybiker2]

Awe poor squirrels. 😶

[Charliefretz329]

We work things out before I leave the forest. lol

[Charliefretz329]

They toss a few at me, I toss a few back. No cops get called, it’s all good

[dustybiker2]

😂😂

[HawkPerception]

It's weird. I don't usually do well under pressure. But if you're talking about life endangering emergency, which has happened a couple times in my life, I get extremely calm and it's as if everything just instantly organized itself in my brain and I do what I have to do to get through the ordeal/situation.

[sirderpsalot123]

I just get calm and leap into action. I hate people who yell and freak out lol as if that helps anything

[dustybiker2]

I don't know if they can help it. It's one of those things you don't know how you will react until something crazy happens.

[Miah04]

I usually grab @sirderpsalot123 and make him solve it.

[sirderpsalot123]

She doesn't even let me finish my game 😒

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 nope, i always come first

[sirderpsalot123]

Depends on what I'm playing...

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 I SAID ALWAYS!!!😡

[sirderpsalot123]

And I said sometimes 😏

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 I'm back 2 minutes and you already making me wanna beat you up🤨

[sirderpsalot123]

We just talked about talked about this lol you'd lose

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 i already confirmed i would win

[sirderpsalot123]

By cheating 😒

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 not cheating. We fightin street rulez.

[sirderpsalot123]

And it's not like I would stand there and let you do that

[sirderpsalot123]

You'd lose lol

[sirderpsalot123]

Loser

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 I'll get you, and your little friend too🤨

[dustybiker2]

Ah friends 🥰🥰

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 sometimes...

[Miah04]

@sirderpsalot123 always 🤨

[RavVid]

Fairly cool. I hate how people gawk. If there is nothing for you to do you should move on.

[dustybiker2]

Yes. Admit I feel the same. If not helping you're in the way.

[RavVid]

Exactly. If you can help you should, if that is only to tell ambulance folk what happen so they have an idea of what injuries might have been sustained.

[exitseven]

I have been in enough of them to just let my experiences tell me what to do.

[dustybiker2]

Fair enough. Don't go getting started now

[northerngal]

I take a deep breath and work the immediate problem... fall back on training if appropriate. There will be time for decompressing stress reduction after the immediate threats are delft with.

[DJB72]

My fight/flight reaction is heavily weighted to fight. Depending on the emergency I tend to be the one who is able to take charge. I don't always. Medical stuff I defer to someone who has more knowledge than me.

[Lliam]

I become very alert and assess situations almost instantaneously to take the wisest action.

[KrakenAttackin]

I am the same way. I deal with emergencies much better than regular life.

[dustybiker2]

Well put lol

[Account]

I go with the extremes. I am either calm and collected or I lose it entirely. There is no middle.

[Nice222]

I work in emergency services so it’s situation normal for me.

[dustybiker2]

Ah, cool. Thanks for your service, sir.

[Wiredone]

I am the same way as you. I don't panic, I'm calm and focused. I don't need to get everyone else in a panic

[Fuentes]

Calm

[dustybiker2]

I knew you would be.
