Article about the case: [https://www.thelocal.se/20150220/shot-teenager-not-believed-in-emergency-call/](https://www.thelocal.se/20150220/shot-teenager-not-believed-in-emergency-call/)
”After trying to reach friends and family members instead, he eventually got through to a different operator via 112 and an ambulance was called to the scene.”
His friend died.
That was so hard to listen to
Hello? I’ve been shot…
What is the capital of Sweden?
While the initial disbelief and refusal to send help was pretty sickening, I think they continue to ask so many questions as a way to keep the victim awake. You’re more likely to stay conscious during a pop quiz than if you’re just sitting in silence
This is brutal to listen to. No first aid advice being offered, no medical information being taken, just dispassionate demographic information taking. This person shouldn’t be working this job.
why are there so many awful, incompetent, and sociopathic 911 dispatchers
Man wtf just send the whole force and if its a prank you can trace the phone and deal with that on a different date/department.
​
This is fucking frustrating.
I had to stop listening…. this is infuriating. The lack of compassion. “I’m about to die” “You don’t know your own phone number??”
Here’s another article:

She kept her job.
Always assume someone calling 911 is serious. If they really are just a prank call, prosecute them afterwards.
0118 999 881 999 119 7253
This shit actually boils my blood, how can someone like this have a job like that. The fact she kept it too, very upsetting.
So what if she believes him and he is pranking her? Send the cops to his location anyways.
If this makes you mad look up the Ryan Waller case.
He claims he has been shot in the face, is clearly not at full mental capacity — is still brought into an interrogation room and interrogated for half an hour before police realize that yes, he had been shot in the face and was suffering brain damage as they spoke.
>Man: How long will it take? I’m going to die.
>Operator: Yeah. What number are you calling from?
I know it’s bad, but that had me laugh at the absurdity of the response.
Reminds me of the story of Ryan Waller who was shot in the head, stayed with his girlfriend for far too long and then was interrogated for far too long before he was given any medical help. Horrible story, dive in on your own risk
Dying young man
>If I die please tell my mom my grandmom and family I love them
Operator
>Mhm
Wtf
Are the operators trained to try and weed out fake calls? Seems to me the smart thing would be to err on the side of caution.
Are dispatchers allowed to use their own judgement on whether or not a call is credible? Seems abusable at best.
She didn’t hear the area right in the beginning.
He is saying “Tallhöjden” which is the correct area, but due to his accent which is from southern part of sweden (Skåne). Their accents can be quite strong sometimes. And she misheard it as “Hallhöjden”
She is repeating if he means “Hallhöjden” But that doesn’t excuse her the slightest. She was a very bad operator.
“Tell my family I love them if I die”
“Mhm…”
Piece of shit.
Called 911 after my son went under a branch while kayaking. The kayak popped up, and then my son did too.
The kayak kept going down river as my son hung onto the branch. He finally jumped in the water, to swim to the bank, and disappeared.
The water is really cold in the river and I was so worried. My son is a strong swimmer, but I didn’t know where he went. I couldn’t see him anywhere.
When I got the 911 operator on the line, I clearly and concisely answered her questions. The main thing she kept asking was “what color is the kayak?” After I told her repeatedly that he was not with the kayak, and that was the whole 9 freaking 11 problem.
Finally I gave up on the operator, when some amazing, random guys came up with a boat, wanting to help. They set out with grim expressions on their faces.
30 minutes later they drove up with the boat on a trailer, and my son sitting up in it, with his sunglasses still on!!
911 never responded but I am pretty sure they know the kayak was bright green! Bright green I tell you. BRGHT GREEN.
Whoever that operator is, needs a fuckin Psycology check and pulled from the job. Insensitive psychopath.
It’s not their fucking job to believe him. Send the ambulance and then question if it’s real.

Dying victim: “Hello, 911? Ive been shot in the head, please help.”
Operator: ” So glad you finally got in touch, weve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty.”
