Questa volta abbiamo cercato: Suicide hotline operators, have you ever had calls where you thought help wouldn’t reach your client in time? How did you come to terms with it?

Ed ecco le risposte:
While not a suicide hoyline operator a friend called me in tears saying he had drank Bleach, obviously I didn’t really know what to do so I stayed on the phone talking to him and used someone else’s phone to call an ambulance.
He was alive when they got there but he died a few hours later.
Honestly it’s horrible knowing someone is dying and the help they need might not reach them in time.
A serious tag would also probably be beneficial on this.

Former EMT. I remember talking to one of our 911 dispatchers who was on the phone with someone who called 911 because they were afraid they were going to hurt themselves. During the entire call they were crunching and chewing something. Eventually the dispatcher had to ask them what they were chomping on. They said it was their psych meds. I don’t know how it ended, but EMS was en route as soon as they said they were afraid.
hopefully this rises so i can read comments
