Hi friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today we are diving in to a topic personal to me - my mom was a 911 dispatcher when I was growing up. And this experience always made me wonder… what happened before 911 existed? I did some digging, and it turns it involves the Titanic sinking, a woman named Kitty in Queens, and the modern-day Karen.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

She has on several occasions been the one to hear someone’s last words. She’s helped deliver babies and has talked a man off a roof. She’s an absolute hero and I am so so proud of her and her dedication to helping our community.

I’ll never forget going on a daytime talk show with her (I wasn’t on the show, she was obv 😅) for helping a man deliver his wife’s baby in their home over the phone… it takes a certain kind of person that can detach from their personal emotions to do that job.

When I had my second baby I had to call 999, the dispatcher was so incredibly helpful to me, he kept telling me I’m doing amazing and when I was having a contraction he was breathing with me to keep me calm and focused. When I said I’m pushing I heard a slight panic in his voice but then he instantly calmed down and said okay let’s do this together. Il never forget him, luckily the ambulance came before I delivered, but they told the dispatcher after I’d given birth and thanked him for me. To all you emergency dispatchers, thank you for everything you do daily.

My Girl Scout troop decided to make thank you cards for our county EMDs after we roleplayed making 911 calls as part of their First Aid badge. I was pretending to be the 911 calltaker and they each took an turn "calling 911". After the each had a turn one girl asked to be the calltaker. After her turn was over, she noted that even though she knew it was pretend it was still kinda nerve-wracking.

Thankfully when she got a little older, she changed her mind and said no thanks to that job lol... Our consoles being literally in the middle of the our station, not in a call center, we did get closure on all of our calls.

I knew it was an emergency, ordered my next door neighbor to wait for first responders at the locked gate to let them in and guide them to me (wanted to save vital time), while I was already dialing 9-1-1. The 9-1-1 dispatcher was great. I was as calm as I could be, but hearing the confirmation that CPR was needed… it was tough. She kept me calm, guided me through the steps even though I was CPR certified. I kept focused on her voice and did CPR until first responders arrived. My mom lived.

i am a 911 dispatcher for over 37,000 people in ohio! thank you for making an episode about what we do. our job can be so hard some days but dispatchers are some of the toughest people i know!! also, i think the eviction law is crazy, but maybe they are just talking about nuisance (aka - shouldn’t be calling 911) callers? like neighbor trouble, “is my power gonna come back on”, barking dog complaints, etc)

I laughed when she pointed out the ‘9’ was the last digit on a rotary phone because where I live our emergency number is 000 😂 our phone broke when I was a kid and my mum used an old rotary phone we had, all I could think was “dialling triple 0 is going to take like 4 years”

Love the recognition Bailey. In the UK, my mom works for the A&E dept (ER) at reception and she usually doesn't find out either what happens to patients she has to register. She sees them go in, registers the injuries, then the nurses take over, so there's too many to follow up on. She wonders too. On the other side, did anyone else start singing the ghostbusters theme to themselves 10 secs after Bailey said it? 😂

My mom was a 911 dispatcher for over 21 years and I would always go up and listen in. The call that has stayed with me was this guy called and a woman could be heard screaming in the background. They found their kid dead by a gunshot cause he wanted his parents to stop fighting over him so he decided to take himself out of the fight. So sad. Then the next call was my mom helping a guy help his wife deliver their baby. Crazy. I could never do that job.

Thanks for covering this history and I did a day with the 911 center for my CJ class and I have so much for appreciation for them. I also used to work as a deaf and hard if hearing relay operator.

This was so awesome and thorough! I saw something on tv about the death of a woman calling 911 that they couldn't go help her until she said "she needed assistance. After that a law was passed that they didn't have to get that verbal okay to go help. Unfortunately it didn't help her but helped others.

911 Dispatchers got paramedics to my house very quickly when my son became unconscious and unresponsive due to what I later realized was a seizure. Their calmness while I was freaking out was very much needed. All my medical training had gone out the door, during those moments with my son. This was 3 yrs ago now. My son is happy and healthy. ❤ Thank you to all dispatchers!!!!
