Are we turning into a nation that has forgotten the Kitty Genovese Murder? Or are the people that I work with too young to remember that horrific event?
Yesterday, there was a medical emergency involving a co-worker. And as an empath, and as the only female who jumped in, I was the only one who started to organize the few people who actually didn't stand back in their office or close the door to: you watch the guy and get him to sit/calm down, you call our emergency-guru, you call 911, etc.
The ONLY PERSON.
We found out, once the paramedics came and his TL joined the fracas that he has epilepsy and his inability to walk or talk (he seriously just could not) was probably due to a seizure. And while some people looked on at the stumbling and collapsing and inability speak anything other than gibberish, I was apparently the only person who knew this poor kid needed help and started delegating tasks.
Really?
If someone needs help, help them. This is not a difficult choice.
And no, if you ask, I will not reveal his name. This person has already experienced such a gross invasion of privacy that it's not right of me to do so.
