So I was at a high school football game, off-duty, watching a relative play. Someone collapses in the stands about 40 yards from me. There is an ambulance on-site, but on the other side of the field. I did not immediately jump up and go to the patient, which shocked some of my family members (I have no equipment, no PPE). Sensing their disapproval, I went to the patients aid, it was just someone who got overheated and fainted. The ambulance crew got there about 5-6 minutes later and took over care.
What would you have done if you were there, not in uniform, and no one knew what you did for a living ? And I ask the same question for when you are the first one that pulls up on a wreck (again no equipment). Do you stop only on serious wrecks, do you stop at all wrecks, do you not stop at any of them ?
