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? |

I once saw something like that happen, but I was only 4 at the time, so there wasn't anything I could do....I didn't really know what was going on. Now I do, but then I didn't.
^^ YAY!!!! You saved someone! |

That's a very good deed of you. That's pretty mest up that the other people didn't stop to try and help... I'm glad that she made it on the ambulance okay. :)

Wow, congratulations. Your life is so exciting.
 Hmm.. I haven't saved someone in particular. Nearly the opposite really.. Well, everyone was having dinner. I had one of my OCD moments and I had to run upstairs to check if my purse was there or something and I noticed the lamp had fallen on the bed and it had burned through the sheets. So I picked it up before a fire could start. There's still a huge black spot in the sheets. |

I saved a little boy out of a pool when he fell in. There were a bunch of kids and they were running around. So I just jumped in and pulled him up. Someone grabbed him from me at the edge.
Another time I had to convince one of my good friends from comitting suicide. It worked, yet I thought it wouldn't. |

No I have never seen anyone die. I never saved anyone either. I probably cant even save myself so why would I save anyone else?

Two years ago when I was in Nevis for a wedding I pulled my little cousin out of the way of a golf cart. It was going straight for her. My older cousin (her brother) saw and started chasing the cart yelling. It turned out to be George Bush Sr. Go figure

Uhm I don't know if my situation counts.
When I was 9 or so ..I was carrying my baby cousin who was like 1 year old. Couldn't even walk yet. I was walking down the stairs holding her in my arms and I accidently slipped. I rolled down the stairs until i reached the bottom. I just remembered putting my hand on her head right before we touched the floor. I hurt that hand too. She could have been seriously injured. |

Good job!
You know what's tragic? My cousin pushed me into a pool and I didn't know how to swim yet.... and they just watched me and I was like, "Woah...." and then I just tried to swim like I watched people swim. |

That reminds me. I got help for an old man at a place where they administer dialisys(sp?). He was bleeding, for a while it had seemed, because his chair was covered in it. I ran to the nearest nurse and informed her of it.
