Today’s USA in a nutshell, “It’s not my job.”
Unfortunately if the fire fighter had rendered assistance without getting permission, he likely could have been fired.
A few weeks ago during Christmas my four year old daughter fell and went unconscious and wasn’t breathing for a bit, came to went unconscious again, and my wife was losing her mind and I while on the phone with 911 was trying to make sure her airways were open, when an off duty firefighter ran over and helped out too. He had been watching his son play hockey.
Society isn’t over yet, we need to fire all the heartless people though.
My daughter is OK, I didn’t see the fall, but I figured she had fallen and winded herself really bad and couldn’t breath for a bit. On the way to hospital she had fully recovered before arriving by ambulance. Praise God.
