Freaky Lunch

A friend invited me to lunch today and as we were eating a man a couple of tables over had a heart attack. He was eating with his wife and she called 911.

I called 911 as soon as I saw what was happening but was informed they were already on their way. His wife apparently knew the symptoms and went ahead and called as soon as she figured out what was happening.

The strange thing was no one did anything about it or tried to help, the servers continued to work while the man was having his heart attack. They didn't even seem to be concerned about it.

Ambulance came less than a minute after I hung up the phone. I hope the guy is going to be ok.

What should they have done? Stood and watched?

They aren't trained to do anything and thus they did what they normally do. Not that unusual really.

Of course I would've been freaking out (inside) were that to happen while i was somewhere eating lunch. I hate sudden reminders of mortality.

The freakiest lunch I ever had was at a sidewalk cafe. I was by myself reading the paper eating and a car slammed into a pedestrian. Everyone looked at first, but after we saw people were already doing what the could, we had to eat our lunch to the pedestrian crying and whimpering while the pregnant woman that hit him went into hysterics as everyone waited for the paramedics.

It'd be even odder with a man who might be dying.

They had one of those heart attack thingamabobs hanging on the wall. It's my understanding that if they have one of those things they should be trained to use it. Of course that doesn't mean they are. I guess you are right, they just did what they would normally do. :/

Actually they might not be trained to use them. Most places they have them there in case their is a medical person in the restaurant that is qualified to use them.

If its possible and you see someone having a heart attack and you have an asprin. GIVE IT TO THEM.

That could be enough to hold them over to the Meds get their.

Would you be protected under law if you inadvertently caused the persons death in this situation?

Couldn't that be said about you while you were sipping on your Bailey's and coffee and did nothing?

No, inaction isn't causing what would be killing them.

I was just curious if you knew about "Good Samaritan" laws and if they would keep you from being held liable if something terribly unfortunate were to happen.

That's what I thought. So giving them the aspirin and it causing them to die could make you liable. That's a shame.

Yep, Giving aspirin is good for a heart attack but it because it thins the blood. Problem is if it isnt a heart attack and they are internally bleeding it will make them bleed faster. Not a expert but we but we do have some doctors on here that can verify this.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
