Good Deed...?

OK, so at school a couple days ago this girl fainted in the hallway.

And I was in my Economics class. Someone ran into my economics classroom and said, 'OMG, a girl fainted!'

So I run out into the hallway, push past my friend, and see this girl laying in the middle of the hallway.

Everyone is crowded around, and I run past them to the girl, and I yell: 'Just go back to class, everything's under control!'

So, a teacher comes next to me, and says - I kid you not - 'What do we do?'

I just give him a: 'are-you-fucking-stupid-or-what?!' look.

I spot a bracelet on her wrist, it's a medical bracelet.

I will not give the girl's name, but it said: 'Tachycardia/Fainting/POTs'.

So I tell him to call the office, and tell the office to call 9-1-1.

So I am next to the girl, who is still passed out, and I'm checking her pulse, breathing, basic vital signs. And the nurse finally shows up, and says: 'You can go to class now."

I tell her: 'Her breathng seems normal, but I told a teacher to call 9-1-1. She has tachycardia, so her heart rate is really high right now."

She thanks me again, and I go back to class.

You guys think what I did was good?

'Cause everyone is saying it is...O_O

You did good. Seems someone paid attention in health class, good for you. You should perhaps think of becoming one of the emergency medical field, you seem to have the instincts.

lol thanks
I watch a shit load of medical shows && I want to be a trauma surgeon @ a level 1 trauma center

Wow, that was really neat of you ^_^

thnx
I think it's more common sense, but then again...I've wanted to be a doctor since I was 3...lol
=3

It's a natural instinct. Not everyone can simply do something like that. Many people can't stand the thought of having to take charge of something like that happening. Many lose their minds, others faint, and others run, or, like the teacher did, stand around and wonder what to do.

exactly
*tilts head*

it is good! you might've saved a life! (:

>_> that teacher was....eh.

good job ruru!

:O Good job ruinz!

That's awesome, really. Sounds like natural instinct. You should be a medical person! -pardon my lack of word skills, my brain's kind of sleepy and stupid right now-

awww, thanks guys...>.<

something else happened this morning though...

my friend Ashley, has POTs as well, and this morning she fainted. so again, i had to yell for a teacher to get the nurse, and i started crying & then went outside to find a cig...the other girl the other day was sorta different i guess, kinda rude to say, but i didn't know that other girl i helped...kinda different when it happens to your friend

It comes from a desire to help them, and not being sure if you can. If you've ever seen the show House, it clearly shows him being unable to be a doctor correctly when his colleague was in need of care. It's where being human gets in the way of being a doctor. It happens to everyone, do not fret over this single occurrence. The fact remains, that it happens, and will likely happen again.


Although, on a side note, your school seems to be most sickly. Not even a whole week has passed, and two people have passed out already. And for the two of them to have Tachycardia is most truly unusual.

Shouldn't this be more of a blog-area kinda thing? :3

maybe...and I love the show |H|O|U|S|E|

lol random

indeed...*strokes imaginary beard*

Perhaps Clair, but in either way, once this discussion is over with, it will be either removed, or locked.
And it is a wonderful show. *strokes actual beard*

^ It will?

i would assume it would...i would not know though...O_O

I haven't locked a thread in forever, in the Ramen Shop. So not sure what Lunami is talking about.

Either way, eventually, the thread would die.

And remember, it's been how long since I've been active?
I should see how many of my threads on "i'm moving" "Im back" are still able to be posted in..

They all are. They're just buried deep within the Ramen Shop somewhere.

It's against my philosophy to lock a thread if I can absolutely help it.
