The police shared a phone conversation between an 8-year-old Hungarian boy and a dispatcher of the National Ambulance Service.
Máté’s bravery saved his mother’s life
According to hvg.hu, without Máté’s presence of mind in those critical minutes, his mother would most likely be dead. “Máté is a real hero. He was aware of everything, he’s got guts. His mother can thank her life to him,” the ambulance and police praised the 8-year-old Hungarian boy. He knew what to do when there was trouble and immediately called the ambulance.
Although it is difficult to think clearly in such situations, Máté was able to tell the ambulance what happened, as well as the address and what pills his mother uses for her heart problem after his mother collapsed. “The boy was not afraid even when his mother was in a bad condition. These were tense moments, but the operator and the ambulance rescue team leader remained with the family. It will be something they will never forget,” the police wrote.
They drew attention in their post to what everybody should tell the operators in such situations:
- Name
- Address
- What happened? Why do you need help?
