-- Posted by StraitjacketJunky at 9:30 am on July 4, 2009 Me, my sister and my mom went to "Wal*Mart" one day. My mom, a nurse of about 25 years, had just left only a few minutes ago. All of a sudden me and my sister heard a girl screaming and guy panicking and asking for help for his buddy. Maybe my mind is playing with me, but I think I remember hearing what sounded like a quite voice making a choking sound. I think it was their son choking or having a seizure. Now me, being constantly on the ball, stood there motionless with no clue what to do. I asked my sister if I could call mom, for I have no free will of my own and must check with a higher authority before taking a piss, which is a long story for another time. With my newly found pair of functional balls, I called mom and told her to get back here and help. She eventually got here and she tried doing her thing, but this other dumbass doctor/nurse tried doing things her own stupid way, and was too stubborn to listen to my mom. My mom, with her nerves of steel, gave up on the kid. Her excuse was "cuz i dun wanna risk mai job n stuffs". Because being wrong once will get you fired instantly from every job forever, and the life of a kid isn't worth it, I suppose. My sister, as usual, took mumsie's side. Jesus baby-sodomizing Christ, there's a kid practically dying, and you're gonna leave him there because you lack the (figurative) balls to save him, and decide to leave him in the hands of a total amateur with no clue what she's doing? I could just imagine if that was me. If she'd be cool if some pro doctor gave up on me because the rookie was being stubborn. I got to thinking of how much of a damn hypocrite she'd be then. I can still remember his friends screaming for help very clearly. /rant Mayhaps I'm overreacting. It still pisses me off that she'd just leave the kid there. I'm pretty sure it was just a seizure, and I don't think those are very dangerous. -- Posted by Maxie at 9:32 am on July 4, 2009 Actually if it's a seizure, you're *supposed* to just leave them at it, and call an ambulance if it lasts longer than a minute. If you try to interfere, you could hurt them or yourselves. -- Posted by StraitjacketJunky at 9:34 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Maxie at 9:32 am on July 4, 2009 Actually if it's a seizure, you're *supposed* to just leave them at it, and call an ambulance if it lasts longer than a minute. If you try to interfere, you could hurt them or yourselves. Yeah, but do the doctors at the ambulance just leave'em there? That really defeats the purpose of calling them in the first place? edit: Grammatical fix. -- Posted by Maxie at 9:37 am on July 4, 2009 Ambos would check them out afterwards
