Lab 10,979 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Never been lucky enough to save someone's life, must be a great feeling to have though knowing something you done had saved a life. However that person may be should be in debt to you forever. Which leads me to an old guy I know.... An absolute gentleman he is. A marathon runner and all round able bodied man all his life. Well he is retired and for a long time he has trapped/ shot rabbits on an estate not far from me. One day in Feb, few days after the shooting season he decided to go and bolt some rabbits. It was a Saturday and he was feeling fine then all of a sudden he took a stroke. Down he went, in the middle of nowhere with no phone. He had very little power but managed to crawl 2 fields, through a hedge and luckily the young lad that works on the farm had decided to go up and spray a field before he went home and saw him lying in the field. He is a very lucky man to be here today and I'm sure he is very grateful to the lad that 100% saved his life that day...;-) Funny though Lab, though I've done it more times than i'd like to recall i've never ever felt like that. Quite the opposite to be honest... You have a deep sense of conscious 'of what might have happened' and your best only to recall it with humor and banter to take the edge off... Taking the Michael out of a situation, especially with a real dark humor, sure helps you for next time and I've certainly never thought of anyone indebted to me... I suppose you look at it differently if its your job and not a spur of the moment life saving moment. You might not think that the person you saved 'owes' you anything but if it was me id be doing everything in my power to make it up too you and even then could i really get close if you had just saved my life?

Huan72 687 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I was doing mobile security when a static guard hadn't called in. Turned up, jumped the gates and he rushed me, foaming at the mouth trying to stab me in the eye with a pencil. I talked him down and stayed with him all night, he was on a full psychotic episode. He was a registered schitzophrenic and hadn't taken his meds. On top of this, they put him in a place that had pics of naked women all over the show and that was one of his issues. They didn't call an ambulance because of the image of the company. A good bloke in a bad place. talked him round all night and took him home in the morning. When I was a dog warden, there was a dog caught in a sluice drain, in a creek and she was going under, I jumped in, swam over to her, dragged her out, climbed up the creek wall whilst carrying her (she was a lab) and took her home................................the owner answered the door and said "if I have to f*****g pay for her I don't want her back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
