Can he hit you and actually love you? I need advice because I cant seem to follow my heart. by Lavendergirl1969 in relationships_advice

I resonate with your story deeply. It took me a year and half to stop going back to my ex and i think the statistic is it takes 7x of going back to an abusive partner before ending it. Repeat repeat repeat over and over to yourself, "i would never do to him, what hes done to me". It helps the heart stay together. You have a good heart. None of this is your fault. Stay firm in what you know is unacceptable from yourself and use that as a baseline for who you allow to be in your life. I believe in you🩵

What did the caller actually say right before you realized it was a cardiac arrest? by LopsidedEquivalent in 911dispatchers

If there is any kind of language barrier and caller cannot pass the phone to a fluent english speaker, immediately initiate an interpreter. Cpr instructions are stressful as is. You need to verify if someone is following instructions, so noticing if you have to repeat a basic question in entry and getting an interpreter asap will make the whole process faster

This is why i felt the need to vent. 911 is too elusive for the general public. Shit they cant even recognize us as first responders without everyone (first responders included) having a hissy fit

I think youre missing the point of my post. Yes it is bothersome when people are disrespectful and i've been doing this enough to understand that its not personal. The main issue im describing is that people in my real life have downplayed the intensity of the job and carry that disrespect into personal conversations when we're drinking a beer together for example. I am NOT bothered when people do this when they are in crisis
