Original Post — Direct link

2 days ago, at 4am my mother called me. She told me that her heart was hurting, she couldn't breathe and had tachycardia. She was healthy, with an exception of having asthma. She is the only person I have left in my family.

I immediately called 112 (relevant to 911) for an ambulance. Because I was about 20 mins away from him, I called my friend who I met in OSRS originally. He's a nurse student, lives almost next to my mother.

He was the first to reach my mother. Gave her first aid. Directed the ambulance and told them my mom's medical condition. Made her calm down. When the ambulance arrived, they told that her situation was indeed critical, a possible stroke.

At hospital, we found out her blood pressure is extremely high and was unnoticed before. Nothing irreplaceable has happened. Her heart works well. Now she has medication and will make a full recovery.

I'm still in a shock. I don't know if I have slept at all after it, maybe I have a little bit. Anyhow, playing OSRS might have saved the only thing I truly care about, my mother.

Sorry but I had to open to someone that doesn't know me or them at all. I have never been this afraid.

EDIT: Not 4pm, but 4am, at night.

Amazing story, go community! If you'd like to give your friend something memorable that you can't buy (like signed concept art or similar) I'll absolutely see if I can get something for you to pass on - drop me a message :)

I'd already like to thank you in advance. I'll look into this after I get to sleep a bit. I'm overwhelmed by this all right now, also very overwhelmed about the support I have got from the community. If anyone ever complains about the community, as long as its not a meme, I'll tell them the support I got.

NP - just drop me a message when you have a min and let me know where you want something sent :)
