    I’ve seen this kind of post a few times. If I survived a near-death experience, you bet I’d be glued to my phone telling everyone I was ok as soon as I could.

      Sure. After removing yourself from the conditions. My guess is that either this meme’s suggestion is exactly what’s happening, or rather she is barely aware of things and the paramedic is asking if she can find a number on her phone for them to call a loved one. Had to do that at work once with someone who had a seizure and couldn’t stay conscious long enough to call themselves.

      As bad as the smartphone is for other reasons, it’s wonderful for being there as a contact tool when you need it.
