Today, my Dad decided to take his medicine before eating. He passed out with his face in a plate of chocolate cake. He wasn't responsive so I called the paramedics. When he got to the hospital, the doctor asked him if he knew why he was there. He replied, "Because my stupid daughter over reacted." FML

Hahaha. You probably should've checked his medication. He's right; you likely did overreact.

Unless his medication had specific instructions for what to do if you take it before eating a chocolate cake and you pass out, how would this have helped? Its only use would be for showing the docs at the ER.

This sounds just like my father. He had a stroke right in front of me and I told Mom to call EMS. He was annoyed to be going to the hospital!

ugh...how many times do we have to tell you: "don't bother someone when they're with their chocolate!!!" XD

Since he reeled out that kind of response without hesitation, you've known about his unpleasant personality for some time. Try to develop a thick skin where he's concerned. Get to the point where his derogatory comments go in one ear and out the other. He'll never change or admit his wrong-doing or apologize. Been there, done that, and know it's best to not give people like this much sway in life.

bad moderating "when he got the hospital" fix it ! ;o
My Dad has meds that make him fall asleep at the table to etc. I don't call the paramedics, I make him go to bed. Now he only takes them at night so he can just go to sleep after. If you knew his Meds did this, you did overreact.

It could have been diabetes medicine.
And he was eating chocolate cake.
And he didn't just fall asleep, he was unresponsive.
I would have called the paramedics.
But then again, I don't take chances when it comes to people's health.
FYL OP.

That sucks and whenever someone passes out like that, it's better to be cautious. And to all the negative commenters, HE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. Basic medical training dictates that when someone is unresponsive, medical attention is urgent.

Very true! Especially if you don't know how to assess the situation. It's better to be safe than sorry. Also, some people don't know how to show appreciation. So don't take it personally.
YDI for overeacting he was probably unresponsive because he was in the bliss of his chocolate only natural that he was unresponsive
To 13: The dad isn't necessarily a douche at other times. I've had bad reactions to medications, and I've said and done things that are completely out of character when under their influence.
To OP: If this was Ambien, you got off lucky. Side effects can include eating, driving, or having crazy compulsive sex while asleep!

Your father is an ungrateful idiot. Request an apology from him immediately.

My mom did the same thing with me once when I called 911 and ended up in the hospital. She insisted the only reason she was there was because I had "forced her to come." Turns out she had a whole bunch of fluid around her heart and if I hadn't called the ambulance she would have died. Go me.
You did the right thing. Parents are just jerks sometimes, especially when they get older and don't like the idea that anyone else is making decisions for them (especially their kids, for whom THEY used to make all the decisions).
you need to remind daddy dearest that you are choosing the home he's going to. use google to find the bad ones that are always making the news!

See, 25 knows what's up. The guy's not appreciative that someone might be worried about him, don't worry about him. It's clearly what he wants, so he can't get mad.

Sometimes my parents find me asleep sitting up because my medications are so strong. You did the right thing though by calling the paramedics

When he allowed to leave make his ass walk home for that comment while you drive! You did right!

Don't you have to pay for hospital visits in the US? Because if you do he might not be happy that he has to pay when he wasn't sick
#28 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:27pm by catatonicsleep
Yeah we pay for hosputal visits in the US. It sucks pretty bad. I once had to visit the E.R. and in the 5 hours I qas there I racked up $20,000 in bills!
aww, that's a waste of cake! oh, and that sucks for you too.
#38 - On 11/14/2009 at 11:49pm by xSceneSceneBabyx
Not a waste of cake, actually. If I did this, I'd just eat the cake when I got home. Yum, facecake!

Hey OP, there's a good chance we're sisters. Count to 10 and remember he's not ALWAYS a prick. Just, you know, a lot of the time.
#40 - On 11/15/2009 at 8:36pm by mattys_mama
And?? Obviously he was joking, and even if he genuinely was annoyed, nothigns going to come of it, this isn't even close to FML material, it would be FML if he said that then died, therefore those were his last words, or if then you passed out and he was released, or somethign, this one is pointless, you should be happy everythings fine, rather than complaining because he made a most likely joking comment.
He insulted you because you were concerned about him?
Fuck him.
Tell him next time he stops responding you'll wait until he's putrefying before calling someone.
And who's the real idiot anyway? He's the moron who can't take his medicine properly.

My father tried really hard to have a relationship with his own dad for a long time before he finally just had to accept that the guy was a prick. I asked about my grandfather once. Dad just looked at me and said "ya know, you only get one set of parents. Sometime is just doesn't work out."
Not saying your dad is that bad, but yeah, sometimes it just doesn't work out.
