Hi Peoples!
Seems like there's no easy answer with accidents and emergencies. You feel bad if you do something and you feel bad if you don't.
Myself, I'm cool as a cucumber during a crisis. I've managed to beat chunks of apples, key rings, money and God knows what else out of choking, turning blue and about to croak kids. I've coped with febrile convulsions, broken bits,burns, bleeds....but the week afterwards I'm a total wreck my nerves are so jangled. Then I have to spend hours cycling every day to use up all that adrenaline!
My plan for emergencies in the street is simple, pick my phone out of my pocket and dial 999 and if it's something I think I can cope with fair enough...otherwise get out of the way...
