I think I saved someone's life today. I went into a bagel shop for lunch and I noticed that there was a woman sitting at one of the outside tables and it looked like she was sleeping, and I didn't really think about her until forty minutes later when I was finished my lunch. She was still sitting there, but she wasn't looking too great, all slumped over, sweaty and pale. So I watched her for a minute, plucked up the courage to try to wake her up. Her eyes opened briefly and closed again and that's when I knew something was very wrong with her.

So I took a deep breath and called Emergency. I've never called 911 before. I was kind of afraid that they would ask questions that I couldn't answer. So I stayed with the woman and tried to keep her from the full sunlight, and within minutes the firetrucks were there and they knew what to do until the ambulance arrived.

So .... I hope that she is okay. I'm still quite shaken by it all.

Intoxication? Overdose? Heart attack? Who knows?

Glad to hear that she was given to good hands. Great job on your part for noticing her!

Well done. Most people just look away and do not want to be bothered getting involved. You could well have saved her life. And it really doesn't matter why she was slumped over like that, she still needed help. Good on you!

Oh that was SO kind of you to check on her.
I'll say a little prayer for her. Can you call the fire department and find out? You did great, congrats on being the "Good Samaritan"!

Good job! Most people wouldn't even think about checking on someone they didn't know.

A couple years ago my boss passed out at her desk from some problem she had, and I couldn't wake her, so I had to call 911 too... it really is scary!

It's glad you did that... good karma will come back around and repay you for the good deed!

You will be blessed for caring. You did the right thing, the thing everyone should do but most do not. Thank you! And I hope she is all right as well.

Thank you for helping! I am a CNA and for some reason the moment I was certified, things started happening all around me from people getting hit by cars to one woman being thrown out of a moving car in front of me. She sliced a gash in her head about 6 inches long and down to the scalp, and I had to basically hold her head together while the paramedics arrived. Thank god for people who want to help. Karma is your best friend or your worst enemy. I think karma will be very impressed with you!

I guess I just did what I had to do, I really don't like to brag or anything. The funny thing is is that on Saturday, my dad and I were driving somewhere and we nearly hit a man walking with his toddler. It scared the crap out of us, so I think somehow we've been redeemed.
