I was switching trains at Bleeker St station on my way to SpecialEd's wedding. There was a girl around my age who looked like she was about to pass out. I overheard her saying to an officer that her vision was blurry, and was having difficulty breathing- signs of dehydration (could have be topped with alcohol). I was debating whether to run up to the cop and say I am an EMT, out of Good Samaritan, but was afraid the cop would just drop her off in my arms and be like here you take care of her. Should I have called Hatzolah? Should I have taken control of the situation? NYPD definitely has higher authority than I do..but I am still questioning myself whether I should haveve said to the cop- let me call an ambulance before she goes under.RaggedyNephewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823461867282915362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-84344331650971403922009-08-21T00:33:17.579-04:002009-08-21T00:33:17.579-04:00Erachet, not to make you feel bad, but who knows, ...Erachet, not to make you feel bad, but who knows, maybe that man was your bashert, put there for you to meet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-18698472103501327082009-08-20T23:05:15.747-04:002009-08-20T23:05:15.747-04:00Am I crazy for thinking that it would have been od...<i>Am I crazy for thinking that it would have been odd/unlikely for the guy to accept your help considering what you describe were heavy and cumbersome furniture items, as well as the heat?</i><br /><br />Right, yeah. That's what was in my head, as well. I felt like it might seem a bit ridiculous if I offered to help. But then again, I probably <i>could</i> have done it, even if I'm not the choice helper in that situation... :)Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660802321998349072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-74264466871126997332009-08-20T19:05:29.577-04:002009-08-20T19:05:29.577-04:00Hopefully this won't unleash some sort of torr...Hopefully this won't unleash some sort of torrent of accusations of being sexist... but...<br /><br />Am I crazy for thinking that it would have been odd/unlikely for the guy to accept your help considering what you describe were heavy and cumbersome furniture items, as well as the heat? <br /><br />It would have been very sweet to offer, but unless I am grossly underestimating your strength/an average guy's graciousness, he most likely would have said, "No, no that's okay..." if that assuages your guilt at all. Of course, it may have been a nice gesture and a possible way to start some sort of conversation which is never a bad thing...<br /><br />Don't feel badly, Erachet. Your account reminds me of the many times I'm walking with the kids and someone either needs help opening the door of a store or carrying bags - instinctively I want to offer my help, but it isn't always realistic - so a smile of commiseration about that person's challenge usually truly passes muster.RaggedyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022064984702182705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-51623619195042441042009-08-20T15:07:32.928-04:002009-08-20T15:07:32.928-04:00Note on G6's meals- they are out of the world!...Note on G6's meals- they are out of the world! and make sure to shmuess it up, hit the lights off by accident, and do not step over the gold line!! ;-)A Non Y Mousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-2973420914127933012009-08-20T11:37:01.989-04:002009-08-20T11:37:01.989-04:00Yep.

Going to disagree. It only becomes sad if you keep looking backwards at what wasn't, at what you didn't do, and don't move forward towards what is waiting, towards times where you will do what you want/should. Don't beat yourself up for being human.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-61802675552170810192009-08-20T07:14:43.223-04:002009-08-20T07:14:43.223-04:00When it comes to doing something good for somebody...When it comes to doing something good for somebody else, ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR INSTINCTS.<br />This is a lesson I continue to learn.<br />You will get more chances, and you will feel better.<br />Welcome to the 'hood.<br />Now, when r u coming for Friday night ? ;)G6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15932781801654313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-49617762887523106592009-08-19T23:23:15.517-04:002009-08-19T23:23:15.517-04:00I <3 #'s 3-5! :) (Also, #9.)

All you can hope for is another opportunity to make amends for the one you missed.</i><br /><br />...and even that's not quite true. Missed opportunities are missed. If another one happens to come along, that's great, but the first one will always have been missed.<br /><br />Some people spend their whole lives trying to recapture something they've missed, never realizing that that's impossible. What's important is to just learn from whatever it was and move on.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-47124867990212072592009-08-19T22:08:10.829-04:002009-08-19T22:08:10.829-04:00I know the feeling...
