Sometimes the Gods put you where you are needed.... Taken from my Facebook(This happened today) I went down to my bank today for an inquiry,and had a nice chat with a very nice employee(who happens to be expecting,congrats) and left happy. All the while,I was debating on if I was going to pay for my birthday cake today or not,knowing I am going to MegaCon in a few hours. So I went and walked down the road to the Publix that I frequent. At the bus stop,there was an older lady and a guy there. The older lady walks to me,and I step back abit,thinking she needed to cross in the opposite direction. She then asks me if I could,"hold her hand and help me across the street to Publix ", She was shaking very bad and had told me,this had happened a few times before(attractions people,you know what happened next),so I say of course,and helped her across the street and throught the parking lot to Publix. Since my phone was off,some bystanders hearing me let me borrow theirs to make the call to emergency services. The messed up part? We were in front of the pharmacy,and the first associate happened to be on a phone call and told me to wait(I get that she was on a call,but she could've asked what I needed),then the pharmacist wanted the lady to wait for a few minutes,because "she couldn't be there too long." EXCUSE ME...THIS IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. SHE CAN SIT THERE AS LONG AS NEEDED!!!!😤😡 He wanted to get the store manager,who did come along as I was on the call with 911. "She needs help" the one of the bystanders said repeatedly to the pharmacist who basically said that she probably just needed to sit for a few minutes. 😡😡 SERIOUSLY?? I hung around after the manager took over and the lady assured me she was okay with the manager alone. I still hung around,and saw that the EMTs had arrived and were talking to her. I was assured seeing this and I headed back to the bus stop. It made me wonder...if I hadn't been there,what would've happened? Would the guy at the bus stop had helped her? Would anyone had listened to her? I believe this is why I went to pay for my cake today. I was needed and I stepped up. It also makes me wonder,what happened to humanity? Do people simply think that something will just stop and they will "be okay" or something "isn't that serious"? What the hell? Have people become that desensitized,and not care? Man,today was an even further eye opener for me. I am just glad she is getting the assistance she needs.
