1)Help An Unconscious Woman (Because They
Were On Break)

Eutisha Rennix was six months pregnant and working
at a coffee shop when she had the good fortune of
collapsing in the presence two emergency medical
technicians, who were enjoying their lunch nearby.
Tragically, she had the misfortune of happening upon
the two most careless EMTs in the world. Instead of
rushing to the pregnant woman’s aid, the EMTs
instead told Rennix’s co-workers to call 911 before
walking out with their lunches. Eutisha and her unborn
child later died in hospital.
In many other countries, this callous act of
indifference would have actually been massively
illegal. There’s a concept in law known as “duty to
rescue,” which roughly states that a person who is in a
position to help someone in peril—such as emergency
medical personnel—without putting themselves in any
immediate danger must do so on penalty of
prosecution. However, as no such law exists in the US,
both EMTs were legally off the hook. One of them,
Jason Green, did get his karmic comeuppance,
however—he was shot in the face a year later.

2)Rescue Drowning Teens (For Free, At Least)

When a group of students from the Changjiang
University in the Hubei area of China saw a couple of
children drowning in a local river, they threw
themselves into harm’s way and dove in to save them.
However, what should have been a fairly standard
rescue attempt was marred by tragedy when it was
later revealed that a fishing boat mere meters away
openly refused to help.
After the children were safely pulled ashore, three of
the students who’d jumped into the water found
themselves in danger. Their classmates, exhausted
from already rescuing three children, beseeched the
nearby fishermen for their help. The fishermen again
refused, stating that they relied on salvage to live and
would only help for a price. They even refused to
throw the students a life-preserver—that, too, would
cost them. You see, as drownings in the area become
more common, fishing out the bodies of victims has
become a rather lucrative—if macabre—-source of
income for some people. From the perspective of the
fishermen, they would have actually taken a loss that
day if they’d rescued the teens.
A few minutes after this horrifying exchange, the
students succumbed to fatigue and drowned. When
the families of the students arrived, the fishermen
were only convinced to fish out the student’s bodies
when the gathering crowd managed to clump together
enough money to pay them.

3)Stop Picking Up Train Passengers (During One’s
Heart Attack)

When 61-year-old James Allen had a heart attack
during his morning commute on the Framingham–
Boston train, his fellow passengers sprang into action,
administering what little medial aid they could with
what they had on hand. The train crew informed them
that medical personnel could only reach the train at a
station a few stops ahead. Luckily, it would only take a
few minutes to get there—if the train gunned it, Allen
would have a great chance of survival.
Bafflingly, the conductor continued to make his
regularly scheduled stops, well aware that a medical
emergency was underway. The train spent several
crucial minutes loading and unloading passengers
before they reached their target, and by the time Allen
finally got the medial attention he needed, there was
little that could be done. He was pronounced dead a
short while later.
The assistant conductor later defended this decision,
insisting that speeding past the stops would have been
dangerous. However, a spokesman for CSX
Transportation, the people who owned the actual
train, later stated that an exception would—and should
—have been made.

4)Wade Into A Shallow Lake (To Save A Dying
Man)

Englishman Simon Burgess was reportedly feeding
some swans when a sudden seizure caused him to
lose his balance and fall into the lake, which was only
about 1 meter (3 ft) deep. In a terrible stroke of
misfortune, Burgess fell face first, causing him to lose
consciousness.
Passersby alerted the authorities to a body floating in
the lake, urging the firefighting crew that showed up
to reach the man before it was too late. He’d only
fallen in 5–10 minutes prior, they insisted, there could
still be time. The crew explained, much to the crowd’s
confusion, that they couldn’t enter the water to save
Burgess because it was “deeper than ankle height.”
The woman who called them actually stated
incredulously “You’re having a laugh.”
As Burgess’s body remained floating helplessly
nearby, firefighters halfheartedly tested the depths of
the water with a pole. It was a full 30 minutes before
Burgess was finally removed from the lake, thanks to
the arrival of a specialist water crew who is called in
to handle all “shallow end of a typical swimming pool”
level incidents. Unfortunately, it was too late. The
coroner later confirmed that, had the firefighters
reached him when they first arrived, he could have
lived.

5) Pull a trapped man from the ditch

Michael Thornton was in a car with his friends when its
intoxicated driver swerved, launching the car into a
roadside ditch filled with water. The driver was able to
climb out of the car, pull out the other passenger, and
run to a nearby house to call for help, Thornton was
left behind. When help arrived in the form of an
ambulance crew, they made the bold decision to not
jump into the “shoulder high” still water in an attempt
to rescue Thornton—though they were okay with
treating the two men not currently trapped
underwater.
Officer Leslie Day, on the other hand, jumped in the
water to pull Thornton to safety immediately upon
arriving at the scene. Sadly, attempts to revive
Thornton failed and he was later pronounced dead.
The coroner later lambasted the actions—or lack
thereof—taken by the paramedics, but praised Day’s
heroics.

6)Give A Fire Extinguisher To A Man Whose Car Is
Burning

While driving to work one morning, British teen Don
Connell noticed smoke rising from his engine block.
Having deduced that this was probably the sort of
thing one should attend to sooner rather than later,
Connell stopped his car, called emergency services,
and ran to a nearby shop for help. Once inside,
Connell asked the cashier working the register for
access to the store’s fire extinguisher so that he could
attempt to tackle the blaze before it became a major
issue. Rather than handing Connell the fire
extinguisher, the cashier told him no and continued
working.
The cashier claims that the extinguisher was denied
because of concerns for Connell’s safety and the
company’s liability, but Connell tells a very different
story. According to him, he was refused because
replacing the extinguisher would be too expensive. He
insists that, as a mechanic, he was fully trained to
operate a fire extinguisher and could have easily
repaired the damage to his car, had the fire been put
out in a timely fashion. Instead, he was forced to
watch as the blaze consumed the clothes and college
coursework he’d been storing, as well as the car he’d
poured so much money into.

7) Carrying a dying girl (due to back problems)

When 14-year-old Shannon Powell collapsed in a
violent seizure during a cross-country run in the UK,
her family initially believed her to be in good hands
due to the large amount of staff present at the race.
However, it quickly became clear that no one really
knew what they were doing. Rather than calling an
ambulance, a race assistant instead called for first-aid
to assess the situation. It wasn’t until after they
arrived and determined that the situation required
more than a Band-Aid or an ice pack that an
ambulance was called—and that’s when the real
trouble started.
The ambulance crew had trouble even getting to the
track because the gates had been inexplicably locked
by the organizers, who had assumed that the
paramedics would have a set of keys The paramedic
also had trouble finding Shannon’s lifeless body
because no one had bothered to tell them where she
was. She had, in fact, been left in the freezing mud
with a coat over her face for an hour. When the
paramedic crew finally reached her, Shannon’s ordeal
was far from over. The paramedic on the scene
refused to lift Shannon from the dirt citing “health and
safety reasons”—that is, she had a bad back.
Shannon later died after yet more bumbling
incompetence, involving a second ambulance being
called by the first ambulance crew. Amazingly, before
sending the much-needed second ambulance for the
dying little girl, the phone operator asked if the crew
had the number for a taxi first.

cool Save A Drowning Man (Who Had Just Saved
Them)

When people save lives, it’s usually because it’s the
right thing to do and not because they want something
in return, so you don’t necessarily owe them
something. If someone does save your life, though, it
would be nice to hang around and make sure they’re
okay afterwards—or at least thank them. Deng Jinjie
wasn’t granted that privilege when he helped save an
entire family from drowning.
Deng was walking his dog along the Sunshui River
when he saw a family struggling to stay afloat. They
were attempting to retrieve their small daughter, who
had drifted into dangerous waters, and found
themselves in danger, too. Seeing no nearby help,
Deng made the brave decision to jump into the water
himself with two other passersby to rescue the family.
After the family was returned to safety, Deng himself
began to struggle and quickly disappeared from view
when he was dragged into a nearby series of rapids.
Without a second thought to the man who just saved
them, the family began to pack up and leave. When
their other rescuers tried to stop them, the family
curtly explained that the situation had “nothing to do
with them” before disappearing in the ensuing frantic
search for Deng. Deng’s body was pulled from the
water a short while later. The family later apologized
for their actions when they learned that their rescuer
had died, which apparently makes everything better.

Family10 Infuriating Cases Of People Refusing To Help by davidflipcy(op):
If you saw someone in trouble, would you help? It’s a
question we hope none of you ever have to answer.
Though many of us would like to believe we’d help and
that a stranger would do the same for us, that isn’t
always the case. Here are 10 people who, for
whatever reason, refused to help.
10) Save a drowning child

When 10-year-old Jordon Lyon saw his younger sister,
Bethany, fall into a canal in the English city of
Manchester, he didn’t hesitate to leap into the water
in an attempt to save her. However, Jordon’s lion-like
courage was betrayed by his small frame and he
became submerged a short while after jumping into
the water. Jordon’s family quickly scrambled for help
and eventually managed to elicit the assistance of two
passing police community support officers (PCSOs),
who are volunteer police officers made up from keen
members of the public with an interest in helping
people, the law, and generally being an asset to the
community. When the two PCSOs arrived at the
water’s edge and were informed of the situation at
hand, they quietly explained to the family that the
situation was too dangerous and that they’d need to
call for police help, wasting valuable minutes Jordon
didn’t have.
When later questioned about why they didn’t jump into
the water themselves, the PCSOs claimed that “they
weren’t trained for the situation.” Meanwhile, two
members of the public had already lept into the water
and saved Bethany in the time it took for actual police
officers to arrive and rescue Jordan. Sadly, though
officers managed to drag Jordan from the water, they
were unable to resuscitate him. While it’s true that the
PCSO’s probably weren’t trained to deal with a
situation like that—and a later court case did absolve
them of any wrongdoing, their actions were
condemned by the chairman of the Police Federation
of the entire Manchester area, who stated “People
throw themselves into rivers and ponds to save people
every day because it’s the right thing to do.” That had
to smart.

Health24 Years Old Romanian Boy Died After Infecting Over 40 Of His Lovers With HIV by davidflipcy(op): 8:45pm On Oct 24, 2014
Dozens of young women in a Romanian town are
awaiting the results of an HIV test after discovering at
the funeral of a local Romeo that he had been suffering
from Aids.
According to Report , the funeral of Daniel Decu, 24,
which was attended by many of his lovers when he was
buried this week turned into an angry shouting match
when it was revealed he had contracted the disease.
Although he was registered as living with the condition it
only became known to the public when an autopsy was
carried out and a coroner's report published. And
incredibly, it was also revealed that when a local doctor
in the town tried to warn people he was suffering from
the disease, he was threatened with a lawsuit by the
man's mother
Doctor Cornel Stanciu, their family physician, knew that
Daniel was HIV positive and tried to make his health
condition public after the 24-year-old had a relationship
with his daughter. But when Daniel's mother found out
what the doctor was doing, she had threatened to sue
him unless it stopped.
The doctor said:
' I knew he had a lot of female friends but there was
nothing I could do about it.'
Some of the women had found out before the
funeral that he had been living with Aids, and at
least two of them have so far been confirmed as
HIV-positive. In total 40 women have applied to
have the test done and are awaiting the results,
said prosecutors.
Although it is impossible to take any action against the
dead man, those who knew about his condition and said
nothing, such as his mother and other family members,
are being investigated.
AIDS remains the only disease specifically mentioned in
a Romanian criminal law, which says the transmission of
the virus by a person who already knows he or she is
infected can be punishable with a jail term of between
five and 15 years. However the law specifies that there is
no need to inform a physical partner of the infection, but
there is an obligation to practice safe sex
Social media pictures show Daniel with a string of girls
on his arm. Nicolae Popa, the mayor of Segarcea, said:
'The boy's mother is to blame for the terrible situation
that we now find ourselves in. It is only now that it has
become clear that the family physician knew he was HIV
positive and tried to make the situation public. When he
started to do so he was threatened with a lawsuit by
Daniel's mother.'
Doctor Stanciu said:
'I started to warn them, but from the moment they
told me to stay silent and not say anything, I
didn't. I'm not surprised that we now are in the
position that we are, because he had many female
friends.'
