[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ambulance at house - happened several times with DC with chronic illness - neighbors stand on the sidewalk and stare. Maybe they’ll catch my eye and ask if everyone’s ok - how to answer- I usually mutter we’re ok. Are they seriously concerned that someone has died? No we are not ok because an ambulance is here and it’s none of your business.[/quote] Neighbors will always be curious about ambulances or police activity. When my uncle died, my dad talked to his neighbors to let them know why the ambulance was there. The neighbors sent flowers and offered assistance. Most people have good intentions. [/quote] Ambulance Mom PP: this is tough. I get it. It’s not ok to stand and gawk while emergency vehicles are here. Now, a fire - I’ll be outside and will tell you exactly what’s happening and stand and chat. But if an ambulance is here and we’re inside, that’s for a reason. Feel free to text as my next door neighbor has done - something like - let me know if you need anything- we’re awake-just text. I don’t need a cluster of neighbors hovering and shouting at me like it’s a press conference- as I jump into my car to get to the hospital. [/quote]
