"A Story of First Aid" by Nutnfancy

Sometimes you may be faced with people who have been seriously injured and facing immediate death. And sometimes help is far away for these victims. You may look around for a rescuer, an ambulance, a phone, or someone else to run the rescue and find none. You will be faced with a choice: do nothing or overcome your disbelief and shock over the emergency, roll up your sleeves, and go save lives. And be mentally prepared: it may involve you dealing you a fair amount of carnage to render this assistance. This is just such a story. I was one of a few rescuers at a serious auto accident involving a decapitated woman and several more seriously injured family members. This incident helped me formulate my views on medical preparedness and opened my eyes how you just may be the only one helping. Being a sheepdog may be a lonely calling.

Its true My buddy and I found a man collapsed at a campgrnd in maine. My friend even though he has huge heart just froze. I nearly had to hit him to get him to snap out of it and go to the campgrnd office to call 911. I went over to try cpr but was unsure of myself and couldn't find a pulse.

What you experienced is known as the "Bystander Effect", it's been proven through a few well-known psychology experiments.

I can't believe no one had the gonads to haul-ass up there to help. But just as you said, people's minds are wired differently. I honestly couldn't just stand around that day because I was too lazy to see blood, while people are dying at the end of a hill. That's just not how I work.

Thanks for sharing! I decided a few days ago to start building up a first aid kit and I also want to take some kind of basic first aid course. I got some training in the military, basically how to give first aid to gunshot victims, if body parts come off etc.

You really inspired me to build this kit faster, and your first aid kit level I & II videos really helped too.

This is a very moving video. I just wanted to let you know that almost 2 years after posting it's still touching people. It really got to me and helped me in my personal growth towards self reliance and being prepared to help my fellow man or for whatever may present itself. I am very honored to be a part of TNP even if it's just as a spectator. :-) Thank you so much for sharing this story with all of us!
