We used to live in a very isolated community in the mountains with very few residents. We ended up being first responders in a lot of situations, mostly because people were stupid. One time, a man had wrecked his quad and ended up in our driveway. We rendered first aide and kept him as comfortable as possible while waiting for emergency services. We also prayed with him. He was scared. He didn’t have a face.
The sheriff’s showed up. They wanted us to keep doing what we were doing until the ambulance got there. When it finally did (at least a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes), they didn’t even bother getting out of the ambulance before they called air evac. They loaded him up, and took off. Had to go another 1/2 to 45 minutes back down to the highway. No place for the helicopter to land.
The cops kept thanking us for helping the guy. We were confused. Of course we would help him. If nothing else, he was blocking our driveway. The man had gone into a coma on the way down the mountain and was in a coma for 6 days. I am so glad he didn’t do it while we were with him. He had facial reconstruction and eventually ended up at our door, thanking us for helping him. Pretty handsome man with a face.
Wow. Thanks, fellow human, on behalf of all us humans!
