Next time try your phone while at the gate it’s not only faster but you can write off part of your phone bill as an expense. The other two items I highly suggest speaking to properly certified mechanics for mechanical irregularities and medical professionals for medical emergencies. Disregard if your specific flight dispatcher is properly certified for these things at UNITED
