To call out doctor/ambulance

[Caplin]

Tonight we had neighbours round, all outdoors etc. At some point H vanishes. Ask kids, they say he is in the loo. He is an introvert so I

assume he has gone to bed as this is normal.

Wave people off. Go inside to discover H unconscious and shivering behind bathroom door. He may have been there 2 hrs. Had to force my way in. Got him into bed, no fever. After some water seems ok, but messed up and confused. I wanted to call 999/111 but he refused.

Kids are petrified. Should I insist he sees a doctor?

Hope he's OK. Yes please call someone. He may insist he's OK but that's not normal what happened to him. Sometimes people need others to step in when they are being a risk to themselves eg not seeking medical attention when needed

This is how my friend's DH was when he had sepsis. He almost died.

He kept saying he was ok...then she went out to work and when she got home he was talking rubbish and had messed himself.

Ambulance came and he refused to go and they left!

He was in intensive care for weeks and lost his toes.

Nurse here. Call for help and do it now.

I hope you’ve called someone for advice and are getting some help.
Hope he makes a speedy recovery

He was unconscious but refused?

I hope OP's silence means she has got help now.

Really hope he's being checked over by now.

Just seen your thread. I hope your dh is ok!

I wouldve taken him to hospital. I suspect 111 would send an ambulance?

Think she’s name changed and started another thread

Glad you're ringing for advice, any episode of unconsciousness should be checked.

@TitsOutForHarambe

YABU not to have called 999 as soon as you found him

This!

Finding an unconscious person is 999 not 111....

This sounds like sepsis. I hope you've got some help now

Did you call them and is he ok now?

Jeez.... unconscious and you don’t call an ambulance! Hope he’s okay now.

Goodness me. Loss of consciousness is a 999 call, no point faffing with 111. Why would people suggest that?
Hope you did get an ambulance out and that he’s ok.

Oh goodness. I hope you've called now. That should have been 999 immediately.

I would have called 999. Hope you did get some medical advice.

Goodness me. Loss of consciousness is a 999 call, no point faffing with 111. Why would people suggest that?

Completely agree. I’ve just read all posts and was at the number of people recommending 111

Hope everything is ok OP?

Hope he's ok OP.

I can’t believe that anyone’s immediate response to finding someone collapsed unconscious wouldn’t be to phone 999?!

I hope you did get him the help he clearly needs

If I found my husband unconscious and shivering on the floor I really don't think my first thought would be to go on mumsnet and ask for advice because I didn't know what to do. The world has gone mad.

@Reedwarbler - totally agree. Who doesn't know to get medical help for something like this??

This. I was unsure what to have for lunch yesterday and did consider coming on here 😉
