Why would a firebrigrade carry a person in this instance

[Youwerewrong]

The person obviously wasn’t fully unconscious as they remember the fire officer a bit. No pyscially injuries and no disabilities

Well presumably it was because of a medical issue.
Do you imagine the fire officer was being nasty? Trying to rape her? Any other absurd reason?

Was an ambulance also in attendance

Ditto.
I've read some crap on here but wth is this about?

if she can sue

Do you really imagine that a member of the fire brigade carrying an unconscious patient simply drops them to the ground the second they start to come round and open their eyes? Because after all if they’re awake they can walk themselves, right?

@Youwerewrong read your username.

It’s like on the maternity ward where they insist you don’t walk around with your newborn in case you faint (or at least that’s my assumption as to why)

Please please put us all out of our misery. What exactly is your issue with this??? No one can make any sense of the circumstances you drip feed through!

I've not read a thread this strange for a while

Thought we might have had more sense from the OP this far into thread 😆

Sorry you cant say "firemen" anymore. Its Firefighter.
One long serving firefighter didnt obey the rules and was fired (,no pun intended)
His "victim" received a 52 grand bonanza payout courtesy of the tax payer

Considering what a hotbed of sexism, misogyny, racism and homophobia the fire service is well known to be, I suspect there is rather more to the case than this

I think if a friend told me this I’d be suspicious as well to be honest. Unless there’s a threat to life, so fire, flood, getting carried away from a car accident I can’t see it’s true. If a person was medically unwell and the fire brigade turned up first they’d stay with them until the paramedics arrived, maybe recovery position, etc. but they wouldn’t be carried from a safe place if they were in a safe place.

OP, does your friend have form for a fantasy life? General embellishment?

Should they have left them in the fire! What a stupid question

YABR (You are being ridiculous)! Loads of people can have their eyes open but not be properly with it and/or able to walk. Have you ever had flu? You feel so ill you can’t get out of bed? So, do you keep your eyes closed the whole time?? Or do you lie in bed feeling too weak to move and occasionally open your eyes?

It’s such a stupid assumption (eyes open=able to walk). What if you broke both your legs? Your eyes would be open so you’d be perfectly able to trot to the ambulance, yes? 🙄

If your friend is very overweight then the fire service might have been called to remove her from the building. It’s hardly weird so I have no idea why you’re fussing about it!

So she was unconscious, a firefighter moved her, she woke while being carried and the question is why they didn't immediately plonk her down at that moment and tell her to walk?

My neighbour had a mental breakdown in his home last Christmas and an ambulance, a police car and a fire engine all turned up. A number of firefighters entered the property even though there was no fire.

Another neighbour…her mother collapsed and was unconscious during a visit. A fire service van turned up, firefighters got out, entered the property, and they carried her out on what looked like some of kind inflatable device.

You are assuming your friend is lying but it is very possible she’s telling the truth as the fire service do a lot of illness related emergency work.

Presumably ,if your friend is large ,then the firefighter wasn't carrying her as a treat to himself. He did it because in his professional opinion it was the right thing to do, got her the help she needed more quickly and prevented her falling again and injuring herself further.

“Consciousness” isn’t simply awake or not awake. It’s a scale. The Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) is used to establish consciousness and it ranges from a score of 3-15 based on motor, eye and vocal response. Especially anything below 15 is abnormal. Someone can appear “awake” and may have some memory recall of events but still have an altered mental state. Really it’s difficult to say without more information but presumably the person was altered enough that their co operation wasn’t guaranteed and it was a time critical event and was deemed they had to be moved quickly for their own safety and those around them.

No. There is space between full consciousness and full unconsciousness. She may have been able to see him, but unable to safely respond to requests to relocate to an area where medical personnel could assess her. If, for example, she was collapsed in the toilet, she may need to be relocated to a sofa so paramedics can assess her condition. Waiting for her to be roused to the point where she can get herself there wastes the time of all the emergency responders.

Also, if she woke up while a firefighter was carrying her, then she was unconscious when he picked her up. He isn't going to put her down immediately the second she wakes.

I just had a look, and @Youwerewrong has failed to say what "in this instance"
refers to, so the question is pointless.

I guess the thing about moving them to somewhere where there’s more space so they can be assessed better makes sense. Or if the paramedics couldn’t move them and the firefighter was stronger?

That isn't always the case. The fire brigade gets called to known patients, could be disabled, or under end of life etc if the person needs lifting. It could be a fall, stuck in the bath, which happens a lot in terminal cases, because there isn't time to move/have adaptations etc, or sometimes seizures. The police will attend in some cases because there's more of them than paramedics/ambulances. Then someone from the care team will come out. The fire brigade are better at lifting someone out of a bath than taking two ambulances out of action.

@Youwerewrong there's newish proticol around transporting people who've been semiconscious etc, this came on the back of people being left to walk, suddenly collapsing and injuring themselves. The Fire brigade aren't medical, so will be extra cautious.

This question is non-sensical without context, OP. How can anyone possibly answer without a description of events?

Firefighters gave been trained to know what to do in each situation. OP hasn't.

This post doesnt make much sense. It sounds to me as if someone is looking with a fine tooth comb to try and cause trouble for somebody else
