Upstanding citizen? Sort of..
As I walked down the street today, a man stopped me.
"Excuse me, could you call an ambulance for me? I feel like I'm going to pass out."
"You feel like you're going to pass out? Um, sure.."
I must have sounded ridiculous repeating his words in question form, but it took me by surprise and I didn't know what else to say.
After I placed the 911 call, I asked him if he was ok and if I could leave.
"Yes, you can go. Thank you."
"No problem."
About twenty minutes later, the dispatcher called me back.
"Did you call about the man at 20th and Locust?"
"Yes, but I left."
"Oh, I'll let them know."
The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if I should have stayed.
