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

You are being massively, massively unreasonable OP.

I've just read the drip-fed extras.
Basically your question is: Could my friend be lying to me?
The actual scenario (the fire engine) is unimportant. What matters is that you don't believe her. Is this part of a pattern? Is it a healthy friendship in other ways? Are you a naturally mistrustful person?
Once you reach the stage of posting on MN to see if your friend might be lying, it's time to review the whole friendship. It may not be healthy for either of you.

What a nonsense thread.

OP. Is there any chance of you actually explaining the story in full so we have a clue what you’re talking about?

This has to be the most cryptic thread I have read on here. People have tried to be really helpful OP, which isn’t always the case on Mumsnet, but you continue to provide only very sketchy details of the situation. Nobody can tell if there is any degree of unreasonableness without knowing a bit more context.

Context helps 🤪

When I've come round from a faint I've been very wobbly historically. Is this your girlfriend and you think she wanted a fireman holding her or something?

Safer than a semi conscious person trying to walk. What’s the problem with that?

OP do you realise that perfectly capable and apparently healthy people are wheeled to scans in wheelchairs by hospital porters for health and safety reasons?

What is your problem, because this is your problem, not your friend's?

Presumably because they made a judgment that the person may fall/faint and injure themselves if they try to walk.

Jesus op, you're answering your own questions in your tedious drip fed replies.

Fucksake there are some weird threads on here.
Then there's this surreal one.
🤣

I believe it is in a 'firebrigades' DNA.
If they are not carrying a person about they will be scaling a tree to get a cat.

They just can't help themselves. 🤷

Baffled by this thread....

any adult can surely comprehend

1. Conscious and able to remember a face a bit doesnt automatically mean well enough to walk.
2. these are professionals with a responsibility to perform safety assessment and ensure she exits the house safely. They can be sued if they don't.

What if she walked herself then fell and was injured?

I'm regularly wheeled around in hospital despite being perfectly able bodied. Thousands are daily...

Whats the point of the thread?
Does your friend have an issue with being helped by a fireman when so unwell she lost consciousness?
Is she looking to sue or something?

They have special lessons in it, called 'what can we do to give the bright sparks fodder for MN'

Have you asked your friend? Why was the fire brigade called? Was an ambulance crew in attendance?

Presumably paramedics tried to rouse her and couldn't - even the noise of the crews entering her home hadn't woken her so she must have been very out of it. They then had to call and wait for the fire crew so your friend has plenty of time to wake up and move herself. She may be able to walk but clearly was unconscious and either overweight so the paramedics felt they could safely move her or her home/the environment was such they they couldn't remove her themselves and need the fire crew's assistance.

Those are the two most likely reasons. If you want more information you can either provide way more context or you can ask your friend who was there and would have had everything explained to her.

Stop pretending to be stupid. Or, if you are stupid, stop asking stupid questions.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Presumably they weren't compos mentis and needed to be carried for speed. Disoriented people aren't always compliant.

Not really sure what you're looking for?

Presumably they judged that the person might not be able to walk safely unaided.

What's your issue with that?

Not strictly true. Where I live every firefighter is also a qualified paramedic so they are perfectly capable of making medical decisions, beginning treatment and deciding on whether someone can be moved themselves. If you call 999 they will dispatch whichever is closest of the fire or ambulance services to make sure you get the fastest possible treatment.

Wonder if the op has sobered up this morning

This is a cracker of a thread to wake up to

I recall a poster earlier in the year, who was very focused on disproving that a friend had had a life threatening event.

The poster had had, they felt, a much more terrible medical event themselves and was trying to prove the friend wasn't as Ill as they had claimed to be.

Anyway, it was all very odd, never really made sense and read an awful lot like this.

Is that in the uk? Never heard of it.
