This morning after breakfast with my colleagues, I saw a crowd of ppl near my car and I oso kepoh la to see what was going on. An old man fell down and his whole right side of his face was covered in blood!!! I stood frozen and panicked, I din know wat to do also. I wanted to help but I felt so scared... Luckily those ppl there gave him tissues and helped him clean his blood with mineral water.
I have a first aid kit in my car, I wanted to give but when I opened it, there's no medication i.e. no antiseptic or whatsoever, only plasters and gauss. I think he tried to cross the longkang and fell and hit the Avanza parked there. I wanted to call the nearest medical centre for ambulance but I didn't know the number. I wanted to offer to send him to the nearest hospital but another man offered first (thank God!).
I juz realized then that in times of crisis like this, I am helpless & clueless (as put it by Tammy). I'm not trained for emergencies, crises, tragedies, etc. And the stupid first aid kit this Perodua provided has NOTHING!! Not properly equipped! Only plasters and gauss and cotton as well as panadol but no antiseptic to clean wound at all!! All the while I tak pernah open it before. It was still wrapped in plastic bag this morning when the incident happened. When I ripped the plastic open and opened the stupid first aid box, I found out that it's not well-equipped.
I never really saw emergencies this close before where I had a chance to make a difference but I didn't, sigh!
