Would you Help an Injured Stranger

That was very good of you to help this man who was bleeding and to take him to your place and call a local doctor to look at him. We need more people like you who care for their fellow man.

gr8 of U!

If u have a heart, u will always help

At least you offered to help which is a lot more than some people would do. You did what you could both times.

I have seen a fellow have a seizure and his friends knew what to do and asked the people staring to please leave as it was doing no good to him to have people staring at him. If you can't do anything to help just move on. I am sure he would have thanked you as later he would think about it and be grateful for your help.

@gregario888 Yes, exactly he was still in a daze.

Looks like the fellow would have been in too much of a daze to appreciate what you did for him.Such accidents leave the sufferer pretty numb for some time.

It was good of you as some other person might have just walked away and done nothing. You were there and help him which says a lot about you and your big heart.

@Lushlala We do if we have some heart Mpho.

@Lushlala What if it was the other way around we would hope someone would come to our rescue. No one wants to feel like they are all alone in a time like that.

You called for the policeman which would bring an ambulance quickly to help this man.

@LadyDuck It was good that the policeman was not far away and was able to help out.

@Marcyaz Yes, the policeman was not far and I spot him, it was a chance he was there.

I think most good people would help in some way or another.

I could only try to comfort her and call the professionals to come and decide her medical condition.

Thank you and I am glad that you would do the same.

This was an older lady and I know if my mother or an older friend needed help I would wish someone would stop and help. I never even thought of my being in peril only of this lady who seemed to be in distress.

@Marcyaz I know what you mean, Marcy. It really tugs on your heartstrings and obviously, if it were a genuine case, I'd never be able to live with myself. But sometimes you really don't know what to do for the best. I remember that only a few years ago, some criminals were involving little old dears that you would never ever have suspected of being so horrible. They were actually party to the whole thing! There were quite a few documentaries that I saw that horrified me.

Sounds like a group went to help your husband. Wonderful to hear that the young people wanted to help him.

You don't have to be a nurse just holding someones hand or hugging them is a big help so they don't feel they are alone.

@Marcyaz That is true :)

It does make you feel good about yourself when you help someone.

If we don't help then who will? We are all in need of help at some time or another and we need to help each other in whatever way we can.

That does not sound right to me but yes it does sound like a system problem.

@rosekiss That is all we can do is what we would want if we were in their shoes.

@Sunydiji You gain a blessing from helping others, and I think the ones being helped, are also blessed.. It is great that you were there to help.

One day when I just went from my classes and I saw that I'm missing the bus and I just started running in suppose to catch the bus, Suddenly, one man who is riding a motorcycle rashly mess with a old couple who is also riding a motorcycle. The old couple is fall from motorcycle in the front of me and the man who is riding his bike rashly is run away from their. At that time I left my bus and help the old men and women for humanity. I saw that, They had got some minor injuries and some scratches on their body not the major one. So I asked them that, are you alright or is their is any serious injuries, do you need medical? And then they said, no, we are OK just need some water and I gave them my water bottle. One of the man standing on the crowd borrowed some bendeds from someone for them and heel the some outer injuries of both. So, whenever I think about that moment I feel glad and proud on my self and a quick smile come on my face just cause i did a nice work by helping those old couple. So according to me helping others will make you happy and it bring a smile on your face. So, keep helping ..

Thank You, I feel if it was me laying there I would appreciate someone checking on me and holding my hand, I don't know if she was scared but I think so and just having someone near might have reassured her as I don't know her circumstances. I tried to find out about her but the hospital would not give me any information.

Good for you and he may not have been drunk but quite ill and if you hadn't helped who knows what might have happened. I bet he was glad you came to see how he was doing.

@Shyamalaa I would not even think of repercussions just try to help in some way even if it was just calling for help.

@Marcyaz I feel in a really critical situation, one would respond to it more by reflex and intuition, and perhaps his or her own nature, than by serious calculations. Some people would help without thinking of repurcussions, while others would simply walk away.

At least you helped her when you could but sad she passed away a few weeks later.

@Marcyaz Yes, it was really sad and she was all alone.

They want compensation why that is not right.

@Kim....I think these are some of the reasons people who are wary to help, just walk away because they fear it could be a ruse!The only problem is that this makes it hard to distinguish between a genuine case and a trap!

@Lushlala yes,so sad if it's a ruse.

I believe we should treat others as we would want to be treated.
