Helping people sometimes gets you into trouble.....

It's great that you helped out. Though if the guy was severely injured, you shouldn't have moved him. Never move an injured person! Call for help, and let the paramedics do all the moving and stuff.
The only time you should move somebody is if you have to for stopping profuse bleeding, or giving CPR. Otherwise, you could end up making their injury worse.

Could you go to the hospital, and ask them about him? I'm sure because of privacy reasons, they won't tell you much more than yes or no about his condition/survival. If you don't know his name, just ask about the guy that came in on whatever day and time, and they should know.

Well, i think you do the right thing, by stop and helping that guy. That's noble act that you do. Who knows if the help is too late and someone lifes is depend on it. It's about risking people lifes.. So good job for you! Have a nice day and happy mylotting!

Yes, helping others sometimes creates troubles for you. I have seen it happening to my foremer colleague many times. She was my good friend. She helps people without thinking about the risk associated with the help. She won't say 'No' to anybody. So, people started taking advantage of her. I hate it. I will help somebody only if I know that the person won't take advantage of me. My friend got into trouble many times by offering unnecessary helps.

Hello manong....

I have never faced a similar incident but what you say have a foundation and I have come across problems when it comes to helping others nowadays....

And especially if the case is serious that might even be dangerous or annoying and sometimes disappointing...So what I do is I try my best to stay away from helping others especially strangers as it may take me into troubles....

But I really appreciate what you did here...but what happened after ward is disappointing....

surely, ur reasons for missing an important appointment was even more important because u saved a human life. i am sure the party u had an appointment with understood what u did and may have set another appointment in lieu of the aborted one. i have one experience which is a little similar to ur experience but no threat to life was involved. a distant cousin who was visiting from the US came into the bank i once worked for. i very well knew her face because during school vacations, i usually spent a week or two in their house in the city. when she came into the bank, she had an inquiring look as to whom to approach to encash a check. i bounced from my seat in front of the counter and called her. to make the story short, i identified her and guaranteed for her personal checks. it was a big amount of $500.00. a month passed and unluckily, the check bounced. i was terrified because i guaranteed for the check and in that case, will answer for its face value, plus charges. i had the luck to get in touch with her and she sent her brother who lives in our city to refund the amount of the bounced check. whew! boy, i was relieved. it didn't matter to me anymore having to pay for the overseas call that i made to inform her about the bounced check. see, sometimes helping people will put u into trouble. i surely have learned my lesson from that incident. (my late husband kept on teasing me about my uncalled-for hospitality and kindness, hahaha)

There's nothing wrong in doing what you did, you played the good samaritan however there are times when it really doesn't pay to help someone out. You kind of made a sacrifice as it were, you sacrificed your own time to help this individual and this is a very admirable quality. I guess on the spur of the moment it's something we either do or don't do, the adrenaline seems to take over and we just act for some reason. Andrew

I am glad to know that you still helped the man despite of your appointment. My mother is fond of helping people but in the end, she was always compromised because she was always betrayed by the people whom she helped. But she still help people regardless of what happened. i guess getting into trouble is not a reason why you should stop helping others.

I think you have done the right thing.Maybe you've missed your appointment or any other important things,but you've won yourself. And besides you won others' homage.

yes helping people sometimes gets us into problems.i personally experienced it.i had faced a lot of problems after helping my friend.i helped them as a friend but i didnt thought that it would become a problem for me .so guys plese think for a while if you are thinking to help others

Once I found a wallet at my window when I came home. I tried to find the phonenumber of the person, but could not. So I called the police...
They questioned me as if I had robbed the wallet! There was no money in it.
I know next time I find a wallet, I'l throw it in a mailbox so the post can deliver it to the police!
