After about a half an hour, 2 police officers showed up. \u00a0My roommate had fortunately not committed selvmord, <\/strong>but rather was in his room the entire time this all played out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second time that I was present for a very serious n\u00f8dstilfelle<\/strong> was on a hunting trip hours away from civilization. \u00a0The hike was about 4 hours in the mountains. \u00a0One of the hunters in the group swallowed a chunk of meat or potato and it got stuck in his airway. \u00a0When we discovered he was still very uncomfortable even after receiving the Heimlich maneuver and was turning purple and explaining that his leg was numb, we called the luftambulanse<\/strong>. \u00a0It took over a half an hour for them to arrive on the scene, however, it is certainly more excusable than 2 police officers in Oslo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was scary, but also pretty cool to watch a helicopter land in the middle of the mountains at the little hunter cabin we were staying at. \u00a0Noway has powerful air and marine ambulance divisions due to the topography of the country.<\/p>\n
