Saigon going from D7 to D1:
25Feb11 driving home today man on bridge, lying in heat, blood down his face, big bump on back of head. I stop to feel his pulse.
normal, strong, about 60/min.
no one knows what to do, they all wait for the ambulance.
they mark the road with the outline of the bike,
they leave him in the heat.
do I move him, ?
do I put his feet higher than his head ? no he has head injury,
I have no idea, I do nothing.
I feel useless I leave.
later I remember: unconscious people can feel and hear soothing kind presence, even if I can DO nothing I could be there and just hold his arm. Provide shade. Check his breathing...
hm....
I hope there is no next time... but if so.... then next time
