I’m not saying YT is the best option, nor am I saying it’s the worst. But in such situations, sometimes it’s easier to visually see what to do than to have someone try talking you through it over the phone. Not like an ambulance is gonna magically appear in 30 seconds ya know.
Besides, what’s the 911 operator gonna tell you that’ll help in a pinch?
911: Have you tried the Heimlich Maneuver?
Me: Yes but it’s a sharp bone and it’s stuck!
911: Do you have any needle nose pliers? Try to reach in and grab it. We’ll send an ambulance, but it’ll be about 20 minutes before they arrive…

While Grandma is over there turning blue.
I’d rather be talked through it by a 911 operator than have to wait until after the sponsor and bending told to like and subscribe.
Indeed, I totally agree.
