Calling 911 for a "cut thumb" is suspicious. Could very well have a been a fight with an abuser and been bullied into saying they cut their thumb cooking. Well

Wellness checks are common if you go to the hospital. I, a large man, was asked repeatedly if I felt safe at home with my small spouse, when I went to the ER for a cut.
- slaw 4y agoI wrote fresh immigrants. Calling 112 when you don't know how to stop bleeding is perfectly normal outside US.
- not_the_fda 4y agoAnd you expect the local police to know the nuances of a every different country. In the US, if you call 911 they will handle it as a life threatening emergency.
- slaw 4y agoIn US they will handle it as another money grab scheme.
- saiya-jin 4y agoThis is normalized system fuckupery US style. Surreal in Europe, at least for 3 countries I lived & worked in. People have common sense in such a topic, and that includes cops, judges, hospital staff and well everybody involved.
- slaw 4y agoIt is a culture difference. In Europe when my wife cuts her thumb I call 112 to ask for help how to stop bleeding and where is the closest emergency room. In US police squad is sent immediately for domestic violance investigation.
- watwut 4y agoWho in the Europe calls 911 for cut thumb? Seriously.
