A four-year-old from Valencia alerted the emergency services on Monday.
The little girl’s mother suffered an epileptic seizure.
The first responder tells how talking to the little heroine made her laugh in an instant.
The 32-year-old first aider Maria Guinot will probably never forget the conversation with a four-year-old girl from Valencia in Spain: The little one had the on Monday evening dialed an emergency numberbecause “something is wrong with my mom”. Guinot immediately recognized from the voice that she was dealing with a child.
The girl had noticed that her mother was not well. It took the woman’s cell phone and dialed 112. When Guinot answered the call, the child gave his first name and age, crying. Then it said, sobbing: “My mom needs help, someone should come immediately.” The first responder tried to calm the girl down. The little one repeated several times that she needed help as soon as possible.
“She was very desperate”
Although the emergency call system localized the position of the mobile phone, it might not give the exact address. “Fortunately, the child knew the home address and all the details,” says Guinot of the “Levante-EMV” portal. The rescuer alerted the police and a paramedic team.
Now it was important for Guinot to keep the little one in charge. “She was very distressed,” said the first responder. “I said she was my eyes in the house so I might help her mother.” The child then calmed down a little. Guinot then asked a few questions to understand what was happening to the patient. “Until that point, we didn’t know if she had choked, if she was conscious.”
“I am very small”
Guinot asked the girl if her mother’s chest was moving up and down, if her eyes were open. “She answered me more and more calmly, because that was also one of my goals to get her to relax a little.”
When the rescuer over the phone told the child to open the apartment door when the paramedics arrived, the girl’s response made her laugh. “‘I don’t know if I can do it because I’m very small,’ she told me,” Guinot continues. The girl was apparently afraid of not being able to reach the intercom button. Guinot told the four-year-old not to worry, a neighbor would hold the street door open for the paramedics.
Important to teach children the emergency number
As it turned out later, the 32-year-old mother had suffered an epileptic seizure. The woman has since been released from the hospital.
The first aider emphasizes how important it is to teach the children the emergency number and the exact home address from a young age. Guinot doesn’t know whether the little heroine from Valencia learned it in kindergarten or from her mother. “But it saved a human life.”
