Will you help a dying person? Let say you passed by a person hurt in the street, he was mugged and shot. Will you help him or will you look for someone who can help him?I would go to him first and check out his vitals and I would try to do first aid before I leave him again and get some help How about you?

I am very sensitive and perhaps will be in panic. My first reaction will be to look for help. To call an ambulance.

I asked my mom the same question earlier she gave the same answer but hers is a little severe 'If there is lots of blood I'd probably faint and the poor person would die of blood loss' oh mom remind me never to be injured with only you beside me...she laughed hahah

Thanks for sharing that fleur, Indeed relaxing the wounded person is a great part of keeping him or her alive till the ambulance or help arrives. It will slow down the bleeding and loss of blood.

Ohhh no, I'm afraid of those kind of situation. I would rather ask for someone else help rather than check him by my self. I feel nervous whenever I see people in danger. I guess I'm not that brave enough to help him personally.

well at the very least you asked for assistance and that would still be good. Sometimes is fool hardy to help a person who is dying especially if the person who attempted to kill him is still in the area and waiting for a chance to try again. But in the long run you must think what if this person was my loved one and a person refused them help it would spur you to action wouldnt it? :) Thanks again for your constant reply to my posts is greatly appreciated
