oh god my father might be having a stroke [blogland]

[Tokthree]

Best of luck, hope your father makes a swift recovery.

Sorry you got flamed for posting about this. Next time maybe try to insinuate a past tense so it doesn't seems like your father is dying downstairs and your are too busy posting to help.

Also, putting /blogland at the end of the topic title for these types of things isn't too bad an idea.

Considering he started the OP by stating that the paramedics were already at his house I don't see why anyone thinks that he could help. Are they expecting him to just push the trained medical personnel aside and show them how it's done? Or is their idea of help something along the lines of offering said paramedics a cup o' coffee in a situation where time is of the essence?
It really doesn't make sense, honestly.

Ok I'm calmed down a bit. I'm sorry about being a richard about the situation. I hope your father gets out of this well. And sometimes paramedics might need you to hold something in a situation like this.

Offering to help a paramedic when he's doing his job probably almost always results in being told something along the lines of "we're trained professionals, you're in the way; go away". Hopefully with a bit more grace than that but the gist is the same.

Or maybe he should be with his mother. If they're moving over to the hospital, moral support is 100% better than doing nothing. It feels like he's some pasty white gremlin who stays on his computer all the time while his father is busy dying downstairs and his mother is crying. "GUYZ my dad is dieing wat do /bloeglend froums"

Or maybe his mother is with his father and there's no room for him in that?
Also; believe it or not but it's perfectly reasonable for someone to become attached to an online community to such an extent that they would seek emotional support from them in times of distress. Just because someone would do it doesn't mean that they're "some pasty white gremlin" who stays on their computer all the time.

"Why aren't you with your father if hes dying!" everyone who has said this probably doesn't have much experience when it comes to paramedics and such. When they show up chances are you're suppose to stay way back. Even if you can be there what else can you do aside from watch and be in the paramedics way?

"Why aren't you with your mother!" Maybe its a stressful time? Being next to someone whos just as if not more stressed out isn't going to help much.

Hope your dad makes it.

OT: I thought your name was "Dallas Dirt Kicker" for the time I've been here, I just now noticed it says "richard kicker"

He's gonna need a low-sodium diet.

No room for his and her's own son to be emotional support and see if he's okay? Are you kidding me? There's probably a deep rooted problem in the family if the mom's all "no fuk u get out don't be near him". Also I never said it wasn't okay to post about it ever. But do it AFTER the initial event while you're waiting in the hospital, has recovered, or has died, jesus christ. Don't sit on your computer while the family is in distress.

Alls I'm sayins is that when my Mum had a heart attack earlier this week, I didn't run to the forum for attention.

For the sake of the father, I hope he is doing well.

I didn't come to the forums when my uncle had a heart attack, but I still didn't get to see him when he went to the hospital. My dad just left the house to go to the neighbors, leaving me to talk on the phone with the hospital about my uncle.

Some people actually want some support, hm interesting concept isn't that?

This is a forum where we regularly joke about death, post images of hot ladies and furries, and get angry at each other over video games.

Do you really think this is the most appropriate support network when somebody you know is in danger?

You should stick to Facebook or at least to some social network with people you know in real life. Why should some guy in another country on the Internet care?
