In that case, I would have just called the cops. I am not going to put my life in any danger because, let's face it, 2 victims are much worse than one.
I usually pick up pencils for other people.
And if the person is having a heart attack, I would just call 911. I am not trained in CPR and AED, add that to the fact that I live in the United States in the state of California, which has the highest concentration of lawyers in the country. I give CPR, save the person's life but accidentally end up breaking a rib and I get sued, my wages are garnished for the next 10 years because I was being a good samaritan. Hell no.
In most cases, I would just call 911. I am not going to take the liability upon myself, it's not going to happen. Sorry to sound like a cold bitch and all, but that's the way things are in this country now.
And the sad part about what I just said is that it is not only a possibility, but a probability.
IIN to be a victim of the bystander effect?
