A photograph of a California EMT mowing the front lawn of an 86-year-old man who had fainted while doing yard work went viral Saturday as thousands of people shared the image on social media.
The man who fainted was not identified in reports, but his son shared the picture of the EMT mowing the Sacramento lawn on Facebook after noticing that one of the emergency workers “put the gurney away and the other finished mowing the lawn” for his father.

TOTALLY COOL...!
ZACTLY the type of cool thing that was pretty unremarkable 60 or so years ago.
The lawyers have taken over but THIS GUY stays the same.
BIG UPS..!!!
Respect.
This is the America I grew up in. So sad that so little of it is left.
I really doubt he was “mowing the lawn”.
More likely the mower was running and or just needed to be put away.That was a nice gesture.
I had a friend in Ft Laud 30 years ago that was mowing his lawn near Commercial Blvd and ne 18th ave and went in to take a leak and some one stole his mower.
What a country
He’s probably going to get fired.
and rather than help the dad the sons taking pics for Facebook,Nice kid
My thought too
Just went to the link.Kid actually let the EMT mow the lawn while he took pictures.What a POS
You are a buzz kill. I would not invite you to a party.
Bingo!
promise
I grew up in that America too. Where we saw a need and we provided the help needed.
Nice, but the way things are any more, they will probably be reprimanded and have write-ups in their permanent employment files.
Was the son the person who took the pictures? If so, was he in a wheelchair? Otherwise, why would he let a complete stranger mow his father’s lawn when he could have done it.
The son was too busy Googling ‘inheritance laws’.
The real question is — what is a 56 year old man still at his folks’ home? /s
yes and WTF wasn’t he out at the AMR van attending to his Dad.
Like the one poster said he was probably inside searching probate rules or the like
“”and rather than help the dad the sons taking pics for Facebook,Nice kid””
The man was 86 years old and you think his son was a “kid?”
I have to agree with you
