The “sitting around in shock” is more common than you think. I saw someone collapse at work, and most people literally JUST SAT THERE! One guy didn’t know what emergency number to call! Fortunately, me being the person that I am, I jumped up immediately, started checking the guys pulse, called the work emergency number and 911, and at one point was yelling at someone to find a defibrillator. Mind you, this is all in a large room with about 30 or so grown men and women who are older (and wiser?) than I am. 90% of the people in the room literally just sat there in shock. Or resumed viewing the content they were viewing on their phone. They should be ASHAMED of themselves! Had me worried about “what if that was me? Could’ve been left to die”
This is just one of the two incidents I’ve witnessed and had to take action. The second incident, same thing, people in shock not doing shit.

I am the same as you. The first to notice, the first to act. I'm glad you were there.
