Are you good in a crisis?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I once witnessed a car crash with a passenger ejected from the vehicle. Immediately into emergency mode, completed top to toe survey and performed CPR until services arrived on scene.
Had absolutely no recollection of anything when it came to giving a statement.
Adrenaline is one hell of a drug!
Unfortunately the accident was fatal for both the driver and ejected passenger |

An avalanche in the Himalayas made me the most lucid I’ve ever been, All my senses lit up and the world slowed down. I knew the location of everything around me. No word of a lie it was like being in the matrix. |

I was in the biggest emergency of my life 5 weeks ago.
I can say I handled it well myself but I would have certainly died had it not been for my colleagues. I will forever be grateful to them. ❤️
And I think I am now more prepared for another emergency should one arise, but I hope it mever does! It made me realise what a sheltered life I’d had…. |

According to others who seek my help or opinion, I'm pretty good at dealing with stressful situations, but how I handle them, and overcome the difficulties that manifest themselves depends on how I read the cards that I've been dealt at that given moment in time. I think that most calm, cool and collected people would be the same. |

Yeah, it was one of my key strengths at work. I would often get called unflappable !
I think I just have this belief as long as you genuinely care about people & give your absolute best then it’s fine. If it all still goes to shit, it was out of your hands anyway. |

"Are you?
When there’s a serious incident, an emergency, everyone’s scared and the threat is imminent?
Or do you just think you’re good in a crisis?
What makes you good in a crisis?"
I was once taken to a mainland area in Lagos Nigeria , my boss was tracking my phone and send an armed unit to intercept the vehicle , when they arrived and surrounded the car we were reading poetry to each other . They guy was insane an addict that was trying to make a bit of money by taking me but I found out he liked poetry and had persuaded him to take me back before we were intercepted. |

Think I am ok. Was a trained first aider in work, great when the kids puked or there was blood involved.
In a big crisis....hopefully I will never get to experience that, who knows how I will react 😏 |

A woman got knocked over by a car on our street last year....being a trained first aider I was straight out and administered help/immobilized her until the ambulance arrived. Felt very calm and collected. |

"It depends what the crisis is.
"
This is the biggest single factor.
Just because you handled one specific crisis scenario calm and collected doesn't mean all of them will be right for you to handle in the same manner. |

I'm excellent in a crisis. My brain goes all logical and ordered and I seem to be able to command some level of trust. That includes when the crisis is about me. I don't panic, I work it though. Such as the time I was dangling upside down in my car, after the damned thing had gone Evil Kinevel style and carried out two revolutions in the air. Not a solitary moment of panic at any point. The people who stopped in the wake of it were far more panicked and frankly useless, aside the lorry driver who helped me work my way out. I'm very good in a crisis. |

I seem to stay calm in a crisis and try and do the obvious things when others are faffing around, probably due to soening much of my spare time wandering over mountains and having some training on how to get of trouble, and help others to do likewise. |

Claim and I put it down to my military training and having responsibilities at a very young age, I look at 19 year olds today and think I was a section commander on the streets of Belfast at their age. |

"Depends on the type of crisis and who is involved.
Anything involving nearest and dearest (including my dogs!) and I tend to panic.
I’m a bit more calm when it comes to others.
"
This!
Have been the calm and collected one in a crisis or two with strangers/colleagues.
My youngest cut his head, I tried to administer first aid and fainted, twice. |

I've dealt with my own daughter properly chøking on food. Twice. And also a colleague at a Christmas party and a random young child on a bus who got a hard sweet lodged in her airway.
I think I'm weird because I seem able to step out of the "Mum" role in all the scenarios. |
