What Would You Do?
Greetings from sunny South Gippsland. We’re excited to see people signing up to the HIP Summit in Paris and the Level 2 training course. If you’d like to join them (and us), check the links below.
We have a few “what would you have done” stories this week.
Would you have had the presence of mind to use a strap like the fellow at the end of this video of a submerged car rescue? (link)
What would you do if you came across the victim of a shark attack? Tie a tourniquet? Do you know how? This vet did. (link)
What would you have done at the scene of numerous electrocutions when a baby’s head rose to show it was still alive? (link)
Jolene Waldref froze to death in Milwaukee and many wondered why bystanders didn’t act. We gave our thoughts in the followup article. (link - maybe paywall)
I’ll leave you with this quote from Sydney Smith who illustrated one of the core reasons for inaction.
It is the greatest of all mistakes, to do nothing because you can only do little.
