"And Everybody Clapped"

And then the ambulance clapped.

People always underestimate the young people. You can be both young and competent

CPR on living people may kill them... (I doubt the story.. but felt it good to reiterate that fact :) )

Sounds fake, like something a person who runs on a volunteer fire or ems would make up for attention

And then everyone started clapping

Gonna guess she wasn't that young a teen, and, FYI, yes, she's correct. YOU NEVER mess with a seizing patient. Turn on side, time seizure, speak softly, soothingly, and notify 911 to be safe.

This is pure r/thathappened material, the amount of dialogue alone makes it complete bullshit.

*clapping*

If you believe this story, I've got some beachfront property to sell you on Venus.

Since the man was arrested, there would be a public record of this incident? And the name of the stenographer who was present transcribing this word-for word interplay?

I've had this type of thing happen to me- from my own family!

Show off ☹️

AND - you don't perform CPR on a person who is clearly BREATHING!

Can't fix stupid.

Sounds too familiar for me...I had a newly qualified nurse shove me back from a woman having a stroke(in our ward) shouting 'stay back, this is what we're going to do! ' He'd decided she was choking on her meal so was going to use the Heimlich manoeuvre on her... as she lay unconscious! Before I could speak, my colleague hissed, 'get out of the way and let 'me 'in! The nurse had been an ambulance driver and was inclined to take on the role of charge nurse from day one! He didn't stay long.

I'd recommend to the lady with seizures that she find a new guy because that one could kill her!

As a paramedic I have seen this happen. I was once quite literally PUSHED from a patient I was tending by a man Pretending to be a Doctor. Yes, he was arrested for assault and practicing without a licence.

Love this! As an RN have seen this type of stupidity way too many times.

Major kudos to the teenager for sticking to her guns!

F*****g amazing girl. I wanna befriend her

my mate had his first fit when we where playing video games , scared the crp out of me , but i remembered first aid training , made sure his airway was free , laid him away from things he could hit his head or anything off and phoned an ambulance

Mansplaining in action

I'm equally amazed by the memory recall of the narrator. I'm guessing she is the teenage girl?

Yeah, that's an amazing amount of recollection for what was said. Nice story though.

Was the EMT actually a teen or just young looking?

I think whenever anyone hears teenager, we think of someone under the age of 18. It took me a fast second to realize that she could be 19 and then she would be old enough to be an EMT.

Men are often like this.

just because a person is young doesn't mean they're dumb, which was clearly shown here. mansplaining at its finest.

Imagine he actually did CPR and the girl couldn't get in because the people believed the man instead. When the paramedics arrived, just imagine the scene (of what I'm talking about).

thats like a major plot twist-

ha!!! asshole!!!! go schooled!!!!!

As an epileptic, if this is true, the girl was definitely spot on. ESPECIALLY turning the woman on the side after the seizure stopped in case she would throw up and choke on it. Also, I can be combative when coming out of one. I always refer to the process as the brain literally re-setting itself. You don't know why you're on the ground, why you feel pain, why you're being told you can't sit up right away. It's like your bloody wasted.

Love the ending

Mind if I go give that man a kick in the nuts? Also maybe a good punch to the nose? Really anyway, as long as he's bleeding

This sounded like a plot from a tv show. Female Doogie howser

Oh poor baby, did your macho feelings get hurt?

Toxic masculinity to the extreme.

Future doctor. Great job [teenage girl]!
