Could I Be A Hero?
Today outside my work there was a horrible car accident, involving 3 vehicles. 2 cars and an S.U.V. The people in one of the cars and the S.U.V only had minor injuries, however the man in the 2nd car had a large gash on his head and was bleeding badly, as well was trapped in his vehicle. How do I know all this? well, I witnessed the accident from the window by which I sit at work, and I know the people who were actually on the sidewalk coming to work when it happened.
Now, I do know First-AID, and I'm a fairly strong guy, I'm not superman or a heavy duty power lifter, but I'm stronger than the average bloke. I don't faint at the sight of blood, and don't get squeamish easily. The question I'm asking myself is, had I been there, on the sidewalk when this happened, would I have been able to jump in there and help? Or would I have been in too much shock and just stood there frozen in panic?
I would like to think I'd get in there and help. I don't think I've ever really been in a situation like that where I would need to react instantly to help someone in danger. I guess I've sort of been lucky in that sense. I'm hoping that if that time ever did come where I had to help someone in need like that, I'd be able to move quickly and be smart about it.

I'm sure you would jump right in there to help anyone.
This reminds me I have to do a refresher on my CPR & First-Aid, thanks. :)
