Thanks. I do have the luxury of being able to think before I post and being totally removed from the situation.

I think it would take me a while to process if I were in the poster’s shoes. I probably would’ve reacted differently and would think that I now had a vested interest in the person’s outcome (at least would like to know what happened to them). This is all predicated on the idea that I would personally want to know what happened with the person in the hopes that what I did helped and that they lived. If they died, that would be tragic and have a whole different impact.

Either way, I think the poster can take away from that experience that they tried to help and provided some level of comfort / relieve to the injured person.

What a surreal situation.
