If you saw a homless person who needed CPR would you help them?

As for the fact I don't know CPR, I would actually hope there would be someone else around that could help. But if there wasn't, I'd more than certainly help them. Just because they are homeless doesn't mean they're any less of a human, and I'm not someone who would just leave someone to die.

Yes. I agree totally. In a panicked situation I always hope there would be a doctor conveniently passing by. I havent taken CPR classes in ages so I wouldnt know at this point...

With that said, I may have to go find some CPR courses somewhere.

I would help, but I wouldn't do it alone.

I do not know CPR, so I doubt I can be of any help. The best I can do is to lift up his head so that he can breath better.

You are totally right with what you said. That's the right thing to do on that situation.

Of course I would help them just like I would help any other person who needed CPR.

In such situations, you can call someone who knows CPR to help. I wish they will help a homeless man, like what you said.

I'm not sure I'd be much good at it but I'd have a go - I can do the compressions whilst humming 'Staying Alive' or 'Lily the Pink' (apparently they're both the right pace) and if that didn't work, I could hold his or her hand.
