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.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
