Have you ever Saved someone?, do you help them or watch them die? Options

[alivenwell]

Yesterday, despite my broken left arm from a bike accident a few days ago, I actually saved someone from probably dying. A child sufferred an asthma attack and fainted in front of me when I went to London, she fainted a few yrds in front of me. I'd thought she fell over, no one seemed to care, where was her mum? I quickly ran up to her and recognised it was asthma, as my cousin had it when he was a child. I phoned for an ambulance, it took 10 minutes to get here, there were pple watching, doing nothing, watching to see if she would die, I couldn't believe it, not even one of them had the guts to find an asthma inhaler thingy, the ambulance operator phoned back to tell me I had to carry her to the end of the street where they could meet up with a stretcher to save time otherwise she may die. There I was with one broken left arm in a cast grabbed the child and ran with her in my arms to the end of the street. It was a really bad feeling to hold someone in your arms who's about to die, but as soon as they put her in a stretcher and calmed her down saying everything was alright, she wasn't going to die, her mum suddenly appeared, not even a word of thanks they whizzed off to the hospital, although not many pple thanked me I felt really good to have saved someone from death, but when I got back to where I had left off, "where'd my bag of shopping go?"

anyway, I like to express this wonderful experience through words, and tell those that stand and watch them die are unforgivable, although they probably couldn't do anything about the incident I still thought they could've put some effort into it. Have you ever experienced anything similar?
