When I was hospitalized at Beaumont Hospital at the age of eighteen an older women named Anna was choking on her food. I performed the heimlich maneuver and she was okay. The staff did not realize she was choking. It was my first hospitalization when they thought I had schizophrenia. My current diagnosis is bipolar. I do not understand why I later reacted differently to other situations.
When my son was choking on a fishbone and turned blue. My ex-husbands finger was too big. So I did a baby finger sweep and unlodged the bone from my sons throat. He is now 23.
When a women in 2011 swallowed bleach and alcohol, instead of calling 911, I called community mental health and they told me to call 911.
I was foreclosed on in 2011 and was subletting a room from this fella and he died. His leg fell off the bed and he was dead. I called a relative to ask what I should do and she said, "do nothing," so I did nothing for two hours and fell asleep. I then called 911 at 4:00 am and told them my roommate was dead. Clearly the last two responses were wrong. I don't know why I reacted this way. I am trying to figure it out.
When a girl got her finger stuck at the library when the door hit her and she was bleeding from the finger. I wrapped her finger and told the mother to take her to the doctor.
When my own son caught his finger in my door on the minivan, I reported to the school where I was scheduled to substitute teach that I had to leave. I took my son to the doctor and he relieved the pressure with a needle and x rayed the finger and though the tip was broken he said it would heal just fine.
When a teenager fell and her arm was broken at a fourth of July celebration, I talked to her to keep her calm though her bone was protruding from her forearm. I had someone call 911 and directed the individual by siting our location at the park. The police arrived shortly after.
I am normally calm in situations by I was surprised by reaction to both the bleach incident and the corpse. I want to return to being me.
When a fight broke out in an elevator, I called the police. I also called a worker from our building as it was past hours and the situation was handled.
When a women was bleeding from her arm after a IV was removed from kidney dialysis. I wrapped her arm using a first aid kit at the building.
I need to realize how to stay calm again.
