I just had one of those moment where I had no idea what to do. I don’t mean I was panicked or anything. In fact, I was completely claim and focused, but I just was not sure of what the next steps were.

This morning, I was standing on the train platform waiting for my regular Mertra train. Suddenly a man standing just to my left and slightly in front of me, completely passed out and hit the ground face first. Now just last week I was re-certified in CPR and it’s still fresh in my mind, so I felt completely ready to help in that way if needed. But, the guy came to right away and slowly stood up. Myself and another bystander instantly started asking him if he was ok and if we should call 911. The man said no and insisted that he was fine. At this point I knew that the guy didn’t feel good and was very embarrassed. It was raining out and he was very wet from falling on the ground. He said he just wanted to go back to his car. This is the point were I wish I knew more of what to do. We just let the guy go back to his car while watching him closely as he walked across the parking lot. But now that I’ve been sitting here on the train thinking about what happened, there is so much more I should have done before that guy was allowed to walk away. I never stopped to see if we was coherent enough to tell us his name or where he was or where he was going. I should have told him, because I was thinking it, that it’s alright to be embarrassed. You will get over that. I should have offered to drive him to the hospital to be checked out. There are so many things rushing through my head right now that I feel I should have done in steed of just letting him walk away so soon. I guess at this point all I can do is hope for the best for him and that I see him on the train again soon.
